the dresser search...

i'm trying to get things ready to start putting the nursery together. right now i've got a whole lot of nothing to show for it. 

one thing that i have been on the look out for is a dresser. i don't want a brand new one. i want a garage sale type dresser that i can paint. and specifically i want a short one that i can put a changing pad on if i want. 

well i've lucked out twice on craigslist (sort of). the first dresser i found was only $25!!! score, right?? p.s. from the picture she/he posted i shoulda known... never trust a mess maker. 

totally kidding. i'm still bitter.... keep reading... 

anyway... i was really excited about this! it had some serious potential and only being $25 was a bargain. so i texted the lady who listed it and told her i was interested and to let me know when i could pick it up. she said she could do around 5 (but of course i couldn't) so i said we could come get it around 6? nothing..... she ended up texting me back around midnight saying that she had already sold it to someone else! for real!! 

so i continued my search and found another dresser but this one was $50. still doable but i figured i could probably talk him down to at least $40. 

once again i contacted the guy. i asked him if he could get me the measurements for it. he said yes. and then nothing.... so i texted him a few hours later asking if the dresser was still for sale and what do ya know? he sold it to someone else!! just my luck. 

and now i'm on the look out again...

how annoying, right?!? 

so, if you happen to see or hear of any good deals in the pocatello area let me know!! 

i'll keep you posted :)
