Shoes

This post is dedicated to my Mother, who, even when she didn't need it, could never pass up a bargain.

Tonight I went to a local store, Ollie's, in search of a coffee table. I recently got a couch and recliner, but there are a few things still missing in my living room. One of which is...a coffee table.

Cheap coffee table hunting was a bust. BUT, I did see some furniture on sale and had to take a look. 90% off!?! EVEN BETTER. I strolled over to the massive heap of boxes and started to take a look. I'm not sure there was much to look at since none of the boxes had pictures and I was unsure of what "clear thru desk" and "center hutch top" meant, but I kept looking. I may have embarrassed myself a bit by actually climbing though the pile of boxes, but it was totally worth it.

I finally came upon a box labeled...
I was intrigued, and after the discount....
And 90% off of $29.99...
It was 3 dollars! That's right folks, THREE!

This is where my mother's instincts kicked in. Did I NEED a mail room hutch? no. Did I even know what a mail room hutch was? not really. BUT, it was only THREE DOLLARS!

I brought it home and assembled it, and it was what I thought...a mail room hutch.
Now, what was I going to do with this thing? I looked it over, and it finally popped into my head...
I now have the coolest shoe shelf EVER.
Thanks, Mom!

This made me chuckle out loud at work.

I think you need some bowling shoes for that fine hutch of yours.
