Just because I’ve practically filled every nook of my house with furniture flips does not by any means mean the Rehabilitation Station is able to take a breather. Oh no. We’ll just start over from the beginning.
One of my very first rehab projects to make its way onto this blog over three years ago…yikes, three years…was this dresser that with new paint and hardware became a TV console table.
(Insert lovely blurry picture that this blogger is ashamed to have as her only before photo).
Once I picked up and moved into my lovely little construction site I still call home, this guy landed in my master bedroom, where he’s been hiding safely from screwdrivers and paint brushes ever since…
Until now. I flat out got tired of looking at those knobs.
Which knobs? These knobs.
At some point I must have though they would do, but now I reserve the right to change my mind.
I found a pair of baskets at Hobby Lobby that would slide just perfectly into two of the three top shelves…
And a few shabby chic knobs to pretty them up a little..
Put the two together by simply poking the knob screws through the basket and securing on the other side…
…and we’re in business.
Then I quickly changed out the fugly knobs that were driving me nuts for matching pretties…
And this rehabbed rehab was a wrap!

A couple of weeks into life with Michael and I under the same roof, one very big difference between us has become quite apparent. While Michael’s internal body temperature hovers around the same temperature as the surface of the sun, my fingers and toes are practically icicles at all times. If he’s cool and comfortable, I’m shaking and shivering and if I’ve cranked the heat on full blast, he’s sweating bullets.
After putting the time in to “man-ing up” the den for Michael—missed that adventure in de-girl-ifying? Click here—I didn’t want bring in a fluffy prissy blanket to ruin all my hard work. This DKNY throw blanket was the perfect solution. Comfy, cozy and completely gender neutral. A new throw blanket just for me but still man den friendly…
That is, a new-throw-blanket-just-for-me-until-I-get-up-to-go-to-the-bathroom-and-return-to-find-a-little-gremlin-in-my-spot…
While I love this little bearded angel more than homemade mac n’ cheese on a rainy day, there is no way I’m sharing this perfectly clean ivory throw blanket with her not so clean puppy paw prints. Not going to happen.
Solution: Remember this coffee table I painted a while back?
Over the weekend, I stumbled upon a basket just the perfect size to fit in its belly.
It’s been bothering me to look down through the glass at an empty basket bottom BUT there was no way I was going to let this space turn into a clutter pit for miscellaneous items.
Good thing my new throw fits snuggly in this spot. Just out of June Bug’s reach but not too far away from the sofa where my inner couch potato will find it just too dang difficult to fold and put away.
Cara – 1. June Bug – one million and three. I think I’m gaining on her.
