Steph and I had another FUN day out hunting for treasures yesterday.
At our very first stop we each scored a great item that we love. I found this mirror which I am hoping will work in our front entrance after the reno is complete ----once it's painted white of course. I paid $5 bucks! You HAVE to go see what Steph picked up for $5 at the same sale.....HERE. You won't believe it {and I wish I had seen it first...lol}.
Such a CUTE wooden sewing box. For $5 I was not about to leave this behind. It's found a home in my craft room.
I paid #2 for the green glass stand but I'm not sure it's going to suit my house so it might go live at Steph's house soon. The silver plate is adorable....$2. And lastly the glass cloche and wood base. $4 bucks at the thrift store.
Blue planter $0.50 cents. Wood bead necklace which I LOVE....$3. {{yes, my dogs are so snoopy}}
So here's a question for all you spray painters out there. At what point do you decide to paint or not to paint an item? The reason I ask is I picked up this rocker (on the left) at a garage sale for $5. There was an older man there who told me it was his daughters when she was little. She was the one having the garage sale and she made it seem like she was sad that she was selling it but said her own daughter out grew it too. {{Does anyone hold on to keepsakes anymore? I don't think I'd ever sell my childhood rocking chair if I had one.}}
Anywho, since I have no emotional attachment to it do I go for it and paint it? Or because it's probably close to 35 yrs old and I know it's history do I leave it in it's original condition {which I like but wouldn't white be so much cuter}? The little bitty one will be painted for my nieces dolls. It was $4.
And this wire and metal tray? To paint or not to paint? I'm thinking yellow. Since I've not yet actually sprayed anything yet I'm a bit hesitant to know what should stay natural and what should be altered.
So there ya have it. My fun junkin' weekend finds. Thanks for checkin' it out.
