The $3 Wardrobe

 

Divested of 3400 (give or take) 'Merry Mushrooms', carefully designed to match with your appliances, whether they be harvest gold, avocado, or coppertone brown, scrubbed down, with two coats of polyurethane, this is what my $3 wardrobe looks like. Nothing fancy, but perfectly functional. 

PS: please ignore clutter. Not everything has found its rightful place in the basement.

Tim helped me carry it from the garage to the basement. Once it was set in place, he did voluntarily admit that it was a good buy.

  6. For just $3, that wardrobe sounds like an absolute steal practical, sturdy, and now refreshed with polyurethane, it’ll last for years. I love that Tim came around and admitted it was a good buy too.

    Sometimes the simplest pieces end up being the most useful. Clutter or not, it looks like a win to me!
