perfect




About a year ago, I found this table at a yard sale for $5.00. It is a great little table...perfect size..just the wrong color. I finally got around to painting it my favorite color! It is a perfect little desk for all my needs. It sits perfectly next to my bed as a nightstand as well. LOVE it!

found


I love this color of blue!! I found these for $5.00 for both. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet..but I really, really like the color of the glass! :)

room makeover

Just recently, I re-did my boys bedroom. They are both getting older and I wanted to do something a little more grown up. I don't have before pics. All you would have seen was white walls, a blue bunkbed and mix matched furniture.
The beds were already in the garage. I had found both sets at a garage sale a few years back for $60.00 for both. I had them in my girls room when we had a larger home. The boys really did not like the bunkbeds and it occurred to me..use what I have and paint them! At first, I was nervous that they would look to girly..but with the glossy black..they turned out perfect.
The bookshelf was found at Target a couple years ago for $5.00
Then the container that holds their toys/sports stuff was found at a yard sale as well for $10.00. I love how old it looks!
I found the gun racks at a yard sale for $4.00 for their fishing poles and BB guns.

I am not totally done with the room. I am seriously considering monogramming their initials above their beds and also putting up a couple corkboards so they have something to showcase any odds and ends. I am also looking for a couple small shelves as well..so they can showcase anything they want above their bed. Also, a roman shade for the window.

Anyway...I got most of it done. The paint was found at Home Depot in the Oops paint for $5.00. So for less than $60.00 and using things I already have around the house....the boys got a new room. They love it..so that makes me happy!!!

step up

I love to thrift and go to garage sales. Recently, I was at a thrift store and I found this little stool. It was a ugly little thing. It had a eagle stenciled on the top of it. I wish I had a before pic! It is very solid though and I really like the shape of it. So, for $5.00 it was mine. I took it home...put a coat of primer on it...and then painted it this light yellow. I found the paint at Lowes for .50 cents. For less than 6 dollars, the girls have a place to stand when they brush their teeth and wash their hands. I also had to show you this little plate I found for a quarter. I had a plate holder already. The only thing that I did pay full price is the hooks. I think it is far handier with five children sharing a bath. Hooks are far cleaner looking and a rack..well..have you seen little people or even big people try to put their towels on those things!

...off to enjoy the day....
