This weekend was crazy busy!
Saturday I walked over to a neighbors garage sale ~ look what I found!!
3 mirrors (Big Gold one $1, Tall wood one $1, Square wood one $.75, Picture Frame $.50)
Adorable Elephant Magazine Holder $1. (He is on the paint & Modge Podge List!)
This awesome solid wood end table (its big!) for $5. (This is also on my paint & Modge Podge List).
Here is the after of the mirror above. (I primed one coat with kilz primer & then 2 coats of white gloss from Rustoleum) I just love the details on this one!
Stay tuned for more makeovers!
I have a pink dresser in progress plus lots of sewing projects ;-)

RIDICULOUS!!!!! I'm crazy jealous right now! That must've been one heck of a garage sale! SO exciting - bet nothing could bring you down this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteCool stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that took a mirror - maybe your smaller one - and she hot glued all kinds of old fashion jewelry on the frame. Then used it as a center piece on the table with a flower vase. Really pretty.

That's a good idea Brenda...might have to steal it someday when my kids stop destructing everything I put out for decoration...
