thrifting

So far this week, we've been to all four Goodwills in our area. We're looking for a dresser for Laruen & Ellie's bedroom so our first stop was to the Goodwill Outlet. This place is amazingly dirty and we come out feeling grimy but you can't beat the prices for books & furniture. Although we didn't find a dresser this time, we did come away with this desk for $5.00. I really couldn't pass it up as it was MY color!


It has a big gouge on top but I have plans to fill it in and decoupage a map on top. Ellie has claimed this desk for herself but has to fight off Grae and Molly to sit there.

On subsequent trips to the various Goodwills, I picked up all of this.

I needed a spice rack and have been on the hunt for something. I saw this for $2.00. It was originally a brown wood sleigh with a duck on the back that said Happy Holidays. I spray painted it my favorite red and now it works perfectly. I still need another one but at least this is a start.


Here is a totally fun Mood clock I had to have. It was only $0.25 at the outlet store. It's hanging in the kitchen above another thrifted shelf I bought and painted my favorite blue. It currently holds printed out recipes that I need to get into a binder but never find the time to do.


Isn't it totally fun! I was moody yesterday so that's why it's set to moody. Ava changes it to "dangerous" when I'm working out.


I've been picking up colored glass for a project above the tv. Just waiting to get the shelf installed.


The globes are my current obsession. They will also go above the tv, I think.


So that's all for the thrifting. I've run out of money and time to go do more this week. Now onto the decorating!
