kitchen pegboard:)

This pegboard used to hang in my closet. It was bright pink We brought it back to LA.

MDH cut it to fit the wall & painted it.

Now the things I use most are easily acessable. I love it...

We accidentally went to an estate auction

So...I saw this estate sale that had one Pyrex bowl that I wanted in their photos. like this one...

I thought we would just (hopefully) get the bowl and go about our day. It ended up being an estate auction. A first for us.

I didn't know what to expect. I got impatient and thought about leaving early on. Good thing we stayed.

They were selling things by shelves or sections of a room. There were some great deals to be had. Some guy got a really nice old wood hutch for $7.50!!! We don't have room for something that big.

I didn't get the bowl that I wanted...it wasn't worth it $25 to me. Someday I will find it...but in the meantime we got some great stuff. (along with a bunch of stuff we don't want that will go to charity)

The back of Range Rover was crammed full. This is everything we brought home...waiting to be sorted through...

Some guy won everything in boxes on a bed and gave me these...

My favorite purchase...

A rolling kitchen cart. I never thought I'd find one that fit my budget, much less in such great condition.

Everything that was on the shelf came with it.

A glass half gallon Arrowhead tilt water bottle...

a set of kitchen canisters...

Some aluminum plates for camping and measuring cups, funnels & a colander...

an old band-aid tin, a cigarette tin and some more kitchen stuff...

some assorted glassware...

No one bid on the next corner of the room so I had to take that stuff also.

These TV tray's are awesome for free:)

I also won a kitchen cabinet with a few good things...

Some thermoses...

Some aluminum cups and bowls...

MDH won a shelf of records...and we had to take the entire shelf/rack they came on.

The shelf will go in the basement after I clean it up:)

He also got this cutlery set...

I didn't win the bid on lot of crates that included this 7UP one, but the guy that did was super nice and I bought one from him:)

We were there half of the day and spent the other half of the day going through everything. It was super fun and we will be going to the next auction they have:)
