I am noticing a worrying pattern here... I recently mentioned in a post about my 99 dollar camera which I purchased from the impulse aisle at the supermarket checkout and now I am revealing the 2 side tables I bought at the supermarket and remodelled into a work station...HAVE I NO SHAME?!?!
Actually, no, I don't... if I can find something that I feel is a bargain and it suits my purposes, then I'm all for it!
I assembled the 2 tables (love kitset!) and remembered some timber laminate that was wasting away in the garage so I screwed it to the 2 tables, ironed on some edging to the raw edge and added 2 baskets that I had lying around...can you believe they fit perfectly!
Last night I took to one of the baskets with a white wash and am pleased with the result....but it was late and I ran out of steam so the other basket still needs to be done.
Anyway...here it is ....my supermarket work desk...voila!
Post Script: You obviously have already viewed the pictures as I posted in the wrong order and don't know how to move my text above the pics! Any help in that regard would be appreciated :o)
Note to self ......"a lap-top would look so much better!"
2nd note to self... "finish painting those stripes!!"

Ange, that's very thrifty of you. I'd blog there!! And I like your profile picture.
Hey Brismod you beat me to it-Love the picture on your profile! It is so nice to put a face to a name but I am still too scared to reveal my hideous face to the public! Great work with your goodies too, Ange. I wish I could find these kinds of things when I go shopping!
Hope you have a great weekend, Natasha.
Hi ange...
firstly that desk is awesome...how totally clever...(hey i find lots of good stuff at the supermarket & chinese $2.00 shops..shhhh!!)...
as they say...think outside the square...jee wiz..sometimes i think "out of space"!!!
secondly...LOVE your photo you have attached ... love your glasses...& you look soo young..

Clever idea - who'd guess it's from the supermarket! Hope you have a great weekend. Leigh
Hi Ange, easiest way is to move the pictures to wherever you want. Simply press your enter key a few times to make room where you want the pictures to go ie. below the text. Put your cursor on the picture, right click your mouse, choose "cut". Move your cursor to where you want the pic to go, right click mouse, choose "paste" and there it is in its new spot. I find that to be the easiest way to do it on blogger.

ps. very very nice desk ( and I love that urn)
Wow Ange! You guys must have some great Supermarkets there!! You did an awesome job! Wonderful that those baskets fit! what are the chances! You can sometimes look forever for baskets to fit a space perfectly!

Hi Ange - thanks so much for coming by and visiting my (very) new blog - all encouragement gratefully received! Looking forward to hearing all your news from the Gold Coast and seeing more of your creations!
Thanks also Alicia - I had no idea how to do this...warm wishes, Susie x

You are sooo clever doing that! And i have a confession to make - i have bought the same bedside tables a month or two ago but did not think of doing what you did! It looks awesome and what a great idea! Mel xx
Creativity my dear, does not have a prefered shop! My very chic French friends shop between Chanel and the French version of Kmart. If it's pretty, buy it, is their motto!! YOu clever dickie!
Hi Ange, love what you have done with the side tables who would ever have thought. Love your work. Sandy
