Yeah for the DI!!!!!

Every LDS member in Utah knows about the DI. The DI is the place for second hand items from families who have donated them or sometimes new things from stores when they change their merchandise. You don't have to be LDS to shop at the DI in case you're wondering.

I've decided that the DI is a newly weds gold. Me and my husband had been looking EVERYWHERE for a TV stand or dresser for our TV, basically anything to give us more storage. The problem was, it had to be a certain height so as to not cover the light switch if the length was longer then the length to the light switch. (Our apartment is really small and there is only one place for the TV to plug in) So after searching everywhere and realizing that the price was on average 100$ for a good stable dresser. We had planned on going to the DI to see if we could find one that we could even fix up (because we all know that the DI is a hit or miss situation). When we arrived at the DI, I was worried because the place was packed. It was easy to see why. Since it was right after christmas people had donated many things to get rid of the old and make way for the new. We found a few dressers that we like, each one around 40$ but the drawers would need help, it would need a new coat of paint, and one even needed new handles. (which was fine, we were prepared for a project) We were just about to choose one when my husband says, "hey what about this one?" we had been looking just for a tall dresser with drawers. we didn't even think to look at coffee tables. The one my husband had pointed out was a low coffee table open on both sides with two cupboard doors on either side. (one we wouldn't be able to use because we needed it against the wall) It was perfect tho!!!!! It looked like new, didn't need any fixing up! a great color! and it fit all of our game systems, VCR/DVD player and TV!!!!! We bought it for 35$!!!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT FIND!!!!!
