Fabulous Finds

It seems we're at the end of the yard sale season here in Utah. The weather has started to turn cold so our summertime fun is pretty much over until next spring. Oh, there will be the occasional estate sale, but we all know the real bargains are scored at the yard sales. Sigh. Thank goodness for our lovely thrift stores. I did a little thrifting last week and ended up with some pretty good deals. For example, this little tin tray. Loved the colors and loved the saying. Not to mention there's a little bird on it. $1.50. I'm thinking I want to try for an all white bathroom in the basement. So I picked up this little ceramic fish vase for $1.00.I found these old kitchen cabinets for $2.00 each when I was driving by an apartment building that's being renovated. They had a big pile of cabinets and people were hauling these things off by the truckload. They're going to be installed in the laundry room over the washer and dryer. They need to be painted and trimmed up some. This will be a winter project and they're going to be fabulous!

I've been looking for an extra dresser for our bedroom for a while and found this beauty at our local Deseret Industries for $75.00. This will get a coat of black or cream paint. The veneer on the top has some chunks out of the sides. The mister might have to replace the top, we'll see how it goes. Love the little wheels, love the shape, love just about everything about it.

Now I need to get off the computer and get started on some of these projects!
