Freebies

Want to know why I like freebies the best? Because I am impatient when it comes to painting, especially spray painting. So then if I mess something up...I dont feel like its a total loss ;)

Went to rummage sales this weekend. FAIL on that part. Got a metal stand for $5 and actually think I wont even be painting it. Its kind of neat because its magnetic...hmmmm...oh the ideas.

As we were driving around(I made the guys go with me while my BF was working :D) we saw a house that wasnt doing a sale, but had a huge pile of freebies on the curb!  Heres a little picture of that collection I picked out...decorative vase, picture, lamp, and this other funky stand thing. ALL of which Im painting red. Minus the picture and vase of course.

Got around to messing with a styrofoam cooler me madre got me. The boys needed something for their feet in the shop at the new house. Hey...cheap idea...

Cooler turned ottoman! Simple as it sounds. A little foam on top and fabric wrapped around like how you wrap a present!

I also found the fabric I want for the coffee table turned bench at the same time. No thrifting here, spent my hard earned money at Hobby Lobby :P Pictures to come later with that when I finish. And I was going to get more zebra print to finish my other two chairs for the kitchen table buttttt. I got a different fabric entirely. Pretty blues. We'll see how that works.

Didnt get much done this weekend because I put down the brush and tape and spent a night with the boyfriend Saturday night, then went to my cousin's graduation on Sunday!  Congrats Andy! Now put on your hard hat to get ready to deal with real life ;)

Oh I DID spray paint some decorative curtain holdbacks! Which if I forgot to mention, I found three decorative rods at Goodwill the other day...$2 a piece...so much better than $12!

Hopefully by the end of the week I have all of my current projects completed. Especially since my boyfriend is taking me to Ikea this weekend! Not to mention I have a 4 day weekend! Better go make my shopping list!
