SCORE!!!

I went to Lydia's garage sale this weekend and I hit the JACKPOT! These tea light wall sconces were $10 for the set. They would be cute hanging inside or outside. I think I will leave them exactly as they are.

I'm planning on painting this shelf white and putting in my entry way when I get a house someday. I thought it'd be cute right as you walk in the front door with a mirror or something hanging above it on the wall. The shelf was also $10

I love these shelves and i'm going to leave them exactly like they are. They were $5.

This basket shelf was $10 as well. I'm probably going to paint it, but not sure what color yet. I'm planning on hanging it on the wall by the front door and using it as a key rack.....or maybe it will find a home in my craft room one day :)

This black end table/night stand was $4.....BARGAIN! All it needs is a fresh coat of paint and a new knob. Not sure how i'm going to paint it yet.

I also got some craft supplies. You can never have enough craft supplies. The hot glue gun, bag of glue sticks, and a bag of paint brushes was all $4.

I've been needing a crock pot and it's red so it matches with some of the other stuff I have in my kitchen...HOORAY! The crock pot was $12

My whopping grand total of damage done was $55. I'd say that was a successful garage sale trip!!! Thanks Lydia!

Projects and Garage Sale Finds!

I got this idea from a fun blog that I frequent called Little Birdie Secrets (http://www.littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/). You should check it out, they have tons of fun crafts and ideas. I've been looking for an old shutter for a while and I finally found one for $5 at the fair grounds flea market. I sanded it and spray painted it red, then I sanded over the top again to make it look distressed. Then I flipped it upside down and bought some fun clips and viola....I now have a fun bulletin board to hang invitations and pictures on instead of covering my fridge.

I also found this lamp at the flea market for $12. It is a huge, heavy duty lamp and I love the detail in the bottom of it. Its kind of funny because our living room wall color almost matches the color in the lamp perfectly. I'm planning on covering the lamp shade with a fun fabric, but I haven't found the fabric I like yet and i'm not so sure how to cover a lamp shade without making it look bad!

My mom found this fun candle holder at a garage sale. I matched the color of the candles to the couch pillows which are burnt orange and red.

I found this candle holder at the flea market as well! It was a great day for me at the flea market. I'm going to hang this piece in the hallway above our book shelf.
