Thrift Store Finds

Is anybody else here addicted to thrift stores as much as myself!?! I love them! I could seriously go to at least one everyday for the rest of my life and I would be completely happy! You just never know what you will find. My imagination starts going crazy when I walk in one.

So, I wanted to share with ya'll a couple of thrift store redo's that I did a couple of weeks ago for my craft area!

The first one is my new desk chair!

Of course it had to be pink! :)

I had been looking for a desk chair and I was actually looking for one I could recover. Then, I came across this one and decided spray paint would probably be easier than working with fabric. Plus, I knew this one would hold up for a while and it was comfortable so I had to have it! :)

Next, I found this rolling cart. I had been looking for something to hold my craft baskets and apothecary jars and when I saw this I knew it would work perfect!

I sanded it down and then spray painted it black and I couldn't be happier with it!

I hope ya'll have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Candlestick Redo

 Hey ya'll! It was another beautiful day here in Cullman, Alabama!

 I decided to take advantage of that and paint some candlesticks that I got from the thrift store.

The wind didn't agree with me so much and it left a nice overspray on my arms and face, but I managed to get it done :) 

I had been eyeballing the smallest white candlestick the last two times I went in this thrift store. I knew I could paint it, but I just couldn't make myself get it. Then, I found the larger white one and I literally ran to get the other one before anybody else decided they wanted it. :)

So, I spray painted the 2 white ones with Valspar spray paint in turquoise and then I spray painted the black one with Valspar in pink!

I just love our brightly colored yard now! ;)

After they dried I sprayed some Valspar High Gloss on them to make them more glossy.  

Here's what the cans look like.

They all came from Lowe's!

And here's my finished candle sticks!

I have three apothecary jars that I think will sit perfectly on top of them :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Have a great night!

Valentine Decor

Hey everybody! I hope you are having a fabulous day! Since it's getting closer to Valentine's Day, I thought I would share with you some Valentine decor that I made using my cricut. I don't normally decorate for Valentine's Day, but since I have a cricut now I just had to! I knew it would be fun :)

The first thing I'm gonna show you is some Valentine Bunting I made that says "Be My Valentine"....

yes, those are motorcycles and no, my father was not happy that I added pink to his tough manly motorcycle room..... :)

I don't remember the sizes for everything so I apologize!

First, I just cut out some triangles using the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge. You can't tell in the pictures, but I kinda distressed the edges of the triangles with some brighter pink ink. Next, I cut out all of my letters. I had to kinda play around with the sizes for the letters because they all fit different on each triangle. Does that make sense? I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the letters and Gypsy Wanderings for the heart. There are actually 2 hearts and I used some pop dots to make the top one pop off the bottom one and then I tied it all together with some white ribbon and hot glued some bows to each end triangle. :)

Here's another look at it :)

Now for my next project...

'all you need is LOVE' Picture

For this I used 2 different hearts from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge. It will actually cut out 3 different ones though so I added some glitter to the middle one! I also added some glitter to my floor and my whole body....oops! Then, I used the Gypsy Font cartridge for the letters and adhered it down to some pink cartstock and stuck it in a picture frame. Really simple!

I hope you enjoyed my 2 projects! Thanks for stopping by!
