Got to love Goodwill!

Here are a few items that I picked up at Goodwill this past week.  I will add links to these items when I have completed their transformation.  I’m excited about the potential these items have. We will just see if the ideas I have in my head, comes out when I start working on them.  Have you had any great thrift store finds lately? Email them to me and I would love to post them.

lamp

I want something pretty simple where it could be added to most decorating styles. Seeing how it turns out I might try to do a resell on this item so I can buy some new projects. But then again, my hubby and I will only be in this furnished apartment for 6 more months…we will need lighting. I guess I will see how attached it get to this lamp. I am thinking about painting the base black and recovering that “beautiful” lamp shade with white fabric. I also might add a black ribbon around the top to add an extra element of classiness. I found a similar idea on this blog, check it out and let me know what you think.

frame

I bought this frame with a specific purpose in mind.  I bought a huge collage frame from Wal-Mart, soon after our wedding.  I filled it with pictures of us dating and our wedding day.  When I finally finished I hung it up on hooks (I hung it by the frame because the cardboard cutout was too small – Yes I know what you are thinking…cheap frame…bad idea) and the next morning collage was laying in pieces on the floor.  So this is where this new, sturdy wood (not plastic) frame comes in, except that it is 1 inch too small. But, no need to worry, this small inconvenience will not get me down, I will (somehow) make it work. Stayed tuned…
