So, yesterday I painted one of my thrift store finds...did I tell you about that? Ashlie drug me through Gainesville on Saturday morning, and we shopped....but instead of our usual jaunts at the mall, we opted for garage sales and thrift stores. Garage sales and thrift stores. Hello. Anyone out there, what have you done with my daughter? Anyway, I must admit I was a little apprehensive about all of that, but we had a blast! I bought a dresser for Hunter for $15. More on that later....I also bought a couple of hurricane globes that I thought would be perfect for Christmas arrangements for $2.....and at our last stop (our last stop because Karl's truck was SLAM FULL---front, back, and bed of the truck) I vasillated about a sofa table. It wasn't anything I needed, and while I couldn't say I really wanted it, I couldn't say I really didn't. It was $40, and furniture was 50% off that day, so what the heck $20 later it was mine. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that it was made by Thomasville Furniture, and solid oak. It was in perfect condition, so for a few days I thought seriously about leaving well enough alone......but where is the fun in that? so, I painted and distressed it, and oh. my. goodness., does it ever look spectacular! Just look at the pictures.....and it looks a little small in the pictures to me, but don't let that fool you, it is 5 feet long and 12 inches deep. I LOVE IT. Can you tell???
Do you have furniture that you are thinking about painting but your scared? Don't be, it is addicting.....I am really fighting the urge to paint my dining room suit, (Karl would kill me!!!) or even my kitchen cabinets (Karl would definitely have a hissy fit) but who knows.....I will be on the prowl this weekend to see what projects I can find!!!
Tomorrow, you'll have to check back to see what I did to the foyer! :)
Y'all have a great evening~
