Book it to Your Nearest Thrift Shop!

I found my daughter a (much needed) bookshelf at Goodwill for $10. I immediately saw the potential in it! (Loved the little retro legs on it!)

I painted it black and decided to put wrapping paper in the back to make it more intersting.

Of course I chose to put toile in the back- Carli said, "I think you have enough of that in my room," So I chose to do something a little more funky!

(Someday her room will get a makeover- but for now- it looks cute in her pink room anyway! Nevermind the trash can)

Seat Yourself!

I bought this chair at one of my favorite thrift shops for $1.99. I knew I could do something cute with it. In the thrif shop, I thought it was white- but when I got ithome, I could tell itwas a very faint blue. I had fabric that looked lovely with the blue and I didn't even have to paint anything.
The total of this project was $1.99 and now we have lovely little chair for the old computer in the guest room!!!

Framed!

I saw THIS on Joys Blog awhile ago and thought that her idea would solve my jewerly problem. I love fun necklaces and baubles of sorts... but my jewelery box was a tangled mess. I just didn't have the time to make one. So I was uber excited when I saw this one at the Fremont Flea Market in Seattle. I love the fun old-style frame and thought it looked awesome in our blue bathroom. I love that my jewerly is organized and I love that I walk in my bathroom and get excited cuz my eye has something lovely to look at. I want to create a couple more for bracelets and earings.
