Thrifty Thursday

Its been a while since I have posted a Thrifty Thursday so I guess I am long over due

 

Hubby and I are taking off on the bike for the weekend, and our lil Maggie gets to hang out with the pet sitter. Don't be sad for her, Megan spoils her and probably plays with her more than we do.

 

I picked up a sweet deal the other day and have a few more painting projects lined up, but now that I have a new supply of Anne Sloan paint I am ready to get at them

well that is after our biking weekend

 

I saw these for sale online and thought that these beds would be great to make into benches

and the dressers came with the deal

Can you say score !!!!!

After we got the beds home, hubby and I had a better look at the beds and we thought these beds would be great in a spare room, so I am not cutting them up into benches YET

I left the mattress there (it was yucky)

Everything is going to get a paint job and the dressers will be up for sale

One can own only so many dressers and my house is dresser full

 

 

Here is a peak at one of the dressers, the other one is identical in looks just a little smaller, I love the handles.

 going to steal two for the bottom drawer from the other dresser

And I will have to put new knobs on the other one

 

 

 

I found two of these cute wooden ladders and I plan on taking them back to Ontario

I am going to lay pieces of barn board across them and use them as shelves to display stuff in the sales barn

 

 

Remember my old hutch that went to live with a new family

When I emptied this out I filled 4 small storage bins

This held a lot of stuff, I hope I don't regret selling it

I sold it because it was all one piece and hubby did not want to haul it back to Ontario

well I fooled him i found one that is two pieces

and after its restoration it will be going back to Ontario with us

poor boy the things I do too him

 

 

Here is the new hutch, it needs a little bit of work and I am going to make some changes to it

I like the idea of cupboards but I think these ones may have to go

I will have to play with some different ideas

 

 

 

 

I also found this cute wooden Pepsi crate to go with my cooler

Thanks to the girls at the Iron Orchid

 

 

 

 

 You can find their store and their site on facebook

 

 

 

Isn't this the cutest little table

The top is leather and I want it white

so Anne Sloan claims you can use her paint on anything

so we will give it a try

will let you know how it turns out

 

 

I also picked up 4 of these chandeliers for less than the price of one

I want to paint the chrome on these and make them look more shabby chic

I don't have the most patience when it comes to this kind of things so wish me luck

I am hoping to hang two of them in the house

 and the other two will go in the sales barn to give it that glam look

 

Well, hubby is pacing behind me, we are off on the bike for a few days

hope everyone has a great weekend

I probably won't be able to treasure hunt too much with us being on the bike

But you never know what I might make him strap on too it lol

 

 

happy picking , stay safe this weekend

 

hugs
