Thrifting...

Isn't this painting AWESOME??!!

To me it is and the price was even better...$10.

I totally love his hair...

The colors in this pillow...oh sigh.
$2.

And a shot of my new chairs...they need some work...but I'm not worried.

$150 for 4 chairs and a glass-topped table.

I hope to sell the table (that I don't need) and recoup most of my money.

These are not the exact chairs I wanted.

I want some just like the ones I donated 10 years ago after buying a new dining room set and having no where to store them.

My stomach still feels the dread when I think of how foolish I was.

Actually, I blame my husband.

He knew how excited I was about the new set...

and took that opportunity to unload what he saw as ugly.

No worries though...I like the thrill of the hunt.

And when I find the 6 chairs I want...all will be good in my world of faux bamboo.

My House

I was playing around with my camera this morning and took a few shots inside my house. I'm working on painting a cabinet I have (color is a mix of BM Kingsport Grey, LA Taupe and BM Antique White) and love the way it looks with these blue pieces I picked up at the the thrift store a couple of weeks ago. The paint was all leftovers I found in my garage...I'm liking this mix-my-own color thing.




My Mom gave me the plate and the starfish came from the thrift store.

One of my favorite yard sale pictures.

My kitchen.

Junior League Giant Yard Sale pillow...something like $2.



Yard sale painting of Birmingham Botanical Gardens (where I was married)

Yard sale cowhide...

Salvation Army painting...$1.99

Curtains and rod...free from my sweet friend Jesse...previous owners left behind in his new condo and he didn't want them.
