painted headboard

$300

I love Hand-me-downs!

These are some things that my father in law gave us...I "spruced them up" a bit with paint, new lamp shades, and fabric...I am so excited. Family heirlooms....you've got to love them.

Our house, is a very very very tiny house

I picked this up at a garage sale for $2 and did a total makeover and painted the door and shutters the same as our home. I love it more than the kids do!

Our lockers

We got these lockers for free from a business that was closing. I used the same paint as on our front door and some chalk board paint to make it useful. I love putting pictures of our friends on this...so I can remember to pray for them.

Cheap Holiday Decor

This monogram pumpkin I used upholstery tacks that I had on hand. I got this idea from a magazine that my friend, Mrs. Susie Walker did. (Project total: $3)
The Christmas frame was a picture of my dad and his brothers that I inherited. I spray painted the frame red and painted the mat to coordinate. (Project total: $1)

Real friends give each other the junk they find!

So, Two of my dear friends went junking last Saturday morning....and brought me some treasures unexpectedly! Wow! I can't tell you how much it meant that they thought of me...so this chair was one of their finds for $2 at a yard sale. My hubbie bubbie was just saying how he wished we had a chair in our closet for him to put his shoes on. And...viola! Literally on my doorstep (thanks to my friends) we have a chair! I simply took off the seat and back, spray painted the metal and recovered the seat with fabric that coordinates with our room. Love it, and it only took my baby's morning nap to complete.

Painted Treasures

I have just spent the day at Ma Sue's house creating some "Southern Signs"...and I love them. With a bit of paint and some cute words...I love the result of funky signs that shall grace the walls of my home and homes of others. I also snagged a lamp from the yard sale...it was my Aunt's and I have big plans for it...I'll show you later!

Inspiration

I feel so blessed. Tomorrow I am headed to my Ma Sue's house (grandma)...she lives in a town of about 400 people...Gamaliel,KY. I am headed there for a yard sale and to encourage my grandma with a visit from ZuZu and me.
With my paints in tote...I will embark on this journey. You never know what you might find at a yard sale of this size. I imagine many treasures are in store for us...many things beckoning to be painted and given new life. I have many ideas in my head and I evened purchased two canvases for the journey...you never know where inspiration might lie.
