The night actually got even better! We ran to the home improvement store to pick up some wood for a project. We walked by the cull bin and found all the wood we needed, and more, and it was marked down to $2.01 a piece. We ended up with a truck full of supplies for just over thirty dollars! It wasn't the type of wood I initially had in mind but who can pass up a bargain like that?!?
Oh what fun we had! 
Look at what we came home with.
A truck full of all sorts of wood.

Yes, those are shutters under there---

The top to an air condition unit.
I think that it will make a great wall hanging in one of my son's rooms (the label will be peeled off and replaced with a monogram).I'm sure this is not everyone's idea of a
great date night,
but it was a highlight for us!

I love the idea of using an air conditioning accessory for a wall hanging. Be careful, though, you don't want to start a trend of people dismantling their ac units in the name of decoration, lol!

oh my! It sounds like you had a wonderful night!
You got some really nice things. I never pass up shutters, or good priced lumber. :)
I can't wait to see the wall hanging, and all the other great things you will be creating with these fabulous finds!

Sounds perfect to me!
Love the shutters!!!
Love it! Good job!
Sounds like a GREAT date night to me! Ours usually includes dinner and either the dollar theater in Kaysville, or an hour browsing at Barnes & Noble. Can't wait to see the screen done and displayed.
I would be giddy too! Love those shutters.
Looks like a wonderful date to me!
That is my kind of date night!
It makes me giddy just to read about it. Great finds! I am working on a project right now, just taking a break. And before my project is finished, I will have to make a trip to my favorite store.....Lowes!! For some WOOD!! Can you tell I am getting more giddy just thinking about it??
I was wondering if there was some sort of bin of scraps at home improvement stores! I should have asked. My husband & I were at Home Depot last night and all I needed was a small piece of wood for a project. We had to pay $5 for a large peice of MDF and it was killing me. I just knew a scrap was lurking somewhere. Your date night sounds PERFECT to me :)!
Only YOU would find the top to an air conditioner and know exactly what could be done with it!!!! LOVE IT!
You are a woman after my own heart! I love how you think! I feel like it's a wasted trip if I can't "find" a treasure of some sorts! Looking forward to seeing just what you do with all your wood and the top of the conditioning unit....:-D Mercy
Sounds like an awesome date night to me!!!
That is my kind of a date night! What great deals and treasures! Can't wait to see what you are making!
XOXO

Joy I love your site! I saw your AC cover and thought "Hey that would be one cool clock in a boys room!" Or you could paint it a great shade of red with black clock hands- dang I wish I had an AC cover.
I can't wait to see what you turn those treasures into!
Sounds like an AWESOME date night to me! My man would do the same for me... we really think alike and he gets a kick out how spotting junk thrills me!
