Hey there, and happy Monday!

I wanted to share with you my more recent find at a thrift store. I LOVE spending time on the little couch in my room, whether I’m just on the computer, knitting, or even watching a show. However, it has always felt a little empty without a coffee table in front of it – something that I can use to place my cup of tea, or even just to put my feet up. Granted, my room (and couch) are a bit on the smaller side, so it too would need to be small.  Also, it needed to be cheap enough for my unemployed self to afford.  Much to my surprise, just as I was taking a casual stroll through a Goodwill, and I found THIS little number for $14!
Ok, now I KNOW what you are thinking: Mackenzie – that isn’t a coffee table, that’s a chest. I know, I know! But it totally works, right? And in my opinion, it works better than a table would have. Since this is a chest, it can serve as a coffee table AND as storage! It is the perfect size, and I feel so lucky to have found it.

I have had my “new” coffee table for about a week now, and I can’t image life on my couch without it. I keep a few candles on there (one of them has a wood wick, so it crackles while it burns like bonfire!) and it is the perfect place to set my mug of coffee or tea while I chill on my couch.

Success! It is always the best feeling when you actually find what you are looking for at a thrift store.  I hope this encourages you to try to find something new for where you live. Of course, it’s mostly luck, but you just have to keep looking! What cool things have you found lately that were second hand? What are you trying to find?
