Thrift Store Finds

You all know by now how much I LOVE thrifting...finding anything at a bargain price is a SCORE for me!  Decorating on a budget can be tough, but I find thrifting the best way to find things for my home that don't break the bank.

Last week I found a couple of great things while out on my own.

This enamel jug for $3.99 that now houses my kitchen utensils by the stove.




This letter sorter.


I sprayed it black and am using it as a mini command center in the kitchen.


I also picked up a cute shelf for $5.99.  It's going to be used in the kitchen renovation which will be starting soon!  Don't you just love the scrolled brackets!


This week I found this great green glass leaf dish.


...and this wine crate from a local winery for $6.99.




I have been wanting this organizer for my make-up, but I didn't want to pay the $99 for it

I had McG take out the diagonal wood supports that hold the wine bottles and turn them up and down to create an organizer for my make-up.


I used some containers I had around the house for now, but I am on the look out for some wicker baskets or metal containers to get the look.


I wanted to update you on that chair that wicker chair that I rescued from the side of the road a few weeks ago.  Here's the before...


...and here it is now!  I gave it a fresh coat of paint and then McG rebuilt the springs and recovered it.
It now has a home in the spare bedroom.  Total cost for this transformation was $10 for the spray paint.  The fabric I had here already.



I'd love to see what you've thrifted...please send me a comment or a link so I can check it out!
