Garage Sale Chair

In July I bought this chair at a garage sale for $3.00. My original plan was to sand it and restain it a darker color and change out the fabric. It has just been sitting in my front room for months. The original fabric on it was so dirty and ugly. FINALLY this week I took the dang 10 minutes and switched out my fabric, I decided to keep the wood the same color and I really like the way it turned out. Not bad for $3.00!

Good bye toy room!

Last year, after some good garage sale hunting my daughter and I made over our toy room! It was so much fun, because this was the toy room who cares how it really turned out right??? I just wanted it to be bright and fun and a place for the kids to just play! I didn't want to spend a fortune because I knew it wouldn't be a toy room for too long and it was a kids room it wouldn't be long before boogers were wiped all over the place milk was spilled. The room served it's purpose wonderfully, but now it is GONE! yep gone! All toys have been moved into the basement because big sis and little sis were just too sick of sharing! (or mom was too sick of the two of them waking each other up!) So now it has been repainted and is awaiting some garage sale finds new furniture and curtains, which I need a little energy to get done! So for now enjoy these pics of our old toy room and look forward to the new bedroom, if I ever get it around to it!

Another $1.00 find

My little Madi loves to dress up. What 5 year old doesn't right? Well we decided to make her a little make up table. I went to a thrift shop and I found this ugly old brown and gold shelf thing! You should have seen the looks I got carrying this thing around. It really was pretty ugly! (of course I didn't take a before picture) But these people just didn't have the vision like I did! I saw it and instantly thought it would be perfect for Mad's room. So I paid a dollar, spray painted it white, and screwed it in under her mirror. The day after it was hung I went upstairs to find it already getting good use.
