Heads Up!

This side table is a fun little yard sale purchase with a makeover.  The top had a perfect lip on it that would hold something well, so I decided to go with pennies. Three coats of different colored paint, (teal, chocolate and tan) some light sanding, a little new hardware and boom, there you have it.  Now all I need to do is find a mate to make tails. 

Yard Sale Season Is Here

Yay, my favorite time of year is starting, YARD SALE TIME! I went this past weekend and picked up a few things for The Farm Chicks show this summer.  Looking at my treasures, you would think my favorite color is red, but really, I have no problem buying red things because I have no problem sending them to a better home.  Green on the other hand...you all know I how much I love green!!

Another Before and After of My House

THE OFFICE (where I am currently sitting and enjoying my surroundings)

BEFORE

 



Some gardening or tool boxes I picked up at the Habitat Store for $2 and converted into shelving.

AFTER





The main dilemma with this room was I had to keep all of the furniture in it (because it is not ours and I have no other room in the house for it to go).  After applying leftover free paint from my family and decorating with some yard sale and thrift store finds this entire remodel cost $54 (which over half was spent on the curtains) My best find in this room is the Stiffle lamp which is currently selling on ebay for $150 and up and I snabbed it for $6, WooHoo!

Before & Afters

I love before and after pics so I decided to post a few of mine!

I've only upcycled two of the yard sale finds in the before pic so far, but I'm working on the rest!
