I'm at a Ren Faire this weekend and I found something I absolutely love and want. I can afford it but it feels silly to spend $600 on an article of clothing I wear a few weekends a year. How do you justify spending that much on one item and make it worth it.
My neighbor was throwing out a small wooden shelf and I grabbed it before it hit the curb. It was pretty beat up, some scratches and the finish was peeling off, but the structure was still solid so I figured why not try to fix it up.
Watched a few videos on how to sand and repaint furniture and honestly it was way easier than I expected. Got sandpaper and wood filler at the hardware store, picked up a paint roller on sale set on tiktok, and used some leftover paint my roommate had from another project. Took maybe a weekend on and off and now it looks brand new. I'm using it as a shoe rack by the door and it fits perfectly.
