Weekend Finds and Results

I missed out on Saturday's yard sales, but tried to catch a few Sunday morning. There wasn't much, but I did grab a couple pairs of shorts for my little Addi-bug.

We were running errands to get some last minute items for my daughter's week long camp, so we ran into Ross. I DID find a few ugly signs I could paint while we were there.

The top one was tin, already had a wire hanger on it, and was only $3.99. The DO NOT ENTER is wood, has hangers, and was only $2.99. And I grabbed the little lampshade for $1.50 for that light blue lamp I grabbed the other day. I was thinking of embellishing it somehow.

I spray painted the inside section of the black tin sign with chalkboard paint. Easy Peezy! Done.

These frames I had tried to play with months ago.... what was I thinking? Ugh!



So, I took the glass out of them and spray painted them all white. Not sure where they will go or what will go in them, but they do look a lot better than before!!!

I am trying to finish up my other projects this week before my mom comes on Friday. Then a few days later, hopefully baby will be here! Then there probably won't be much time for crafting or thrifting... (i'm a little sad about that, I've really enjoyed driving around on the weekends looking for great deals) I would LOVE to get my hands on some furniture to redo, but with a big move coming up in a few months, my husband would probably kill me.

Wall Mirror - Before & After

I've had this mirror forever! I think I got it at Hobby Lobby at least 9 years ago. Half off for $5 of $10. Why I chose green, I don't know... So lately, it's been collecting dust (as you can obviously see) in a closet. I was actually going to get rid of it, but decided to give it a paint job and see how it turned out.

AFTER:
I saw a post recently from Better Home & Gardens with table settings of all sizes of glass jars with tea lights in them, and thought I'd apply that look to the little shelf on this mirror. The picture isn't all that great, but I LOVE how the project turned out!

Trash to Treasure - Wicker Chair Reinvented

Remember this orange chair? I found it on the curb on base during our yard sale adventure last week!

FREE!My daughter claimed this as her project...
So she spray painted it white.....
And the other day on our Target run, we came across seat cushions 1/2 off!
So she picked out a red cushion!

And the end results:
