When your husband sleeps in, sneak out and go shopping.

I had a great morning out at the thrift store and came home with a few awesome treasures. When it came to housewares, they definitely had a good selection.

These cuties were $1.99 each. They've already been primed and have the first coat of white paint on them. I'm thinking of using them in my downstairs bath.


I picked up this solid wood frame with the intention of gifting it, but after sanding it I fell in love. I think I might keep it for myself.






These little trays are great and $.69 each. I bought them to turn in to a set of chalk boards for the kitchen.





I found this mirror hiding behind a desk. It was marked $9.99 and I'm sure once graced the top of a dresser. It has beautiful detailing, a little bit of a work look and swivels (though the metal needs a little work for a smooth ride). I plan to pair it with my vanity for the bedroom.

I got two projects done this weekend that I'll share later in the week. The trays are already chalkboards and hung (in a temporary spot I think), and I also finished the first end table for the living room (finally). Built from scratch and stained by me in the driveway!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

(P.S. Please excuse the formatting. I posted this from my iPhone last night through the blogger app, and it puts in unattractive line breaks where I'd rather them not be!)
