great success!

I headed out this morning to hit an estate sale, a couple consignment shops and a few charity stores (Goodwill, etc). I was thrilled with my finds at the estate sale, which included three gorgeous frames, a small wooden stool and few misc. decorating pieces.

One of the frames had filthy dirty glass and the other two had no glass. I plan to use some glass from old frames I had and my one-cent finds from yesterday.

The stool is just what I had been looking for, but the paint was pretty awful. I could see it in a blue-grey in my living room and was looking forward to getting started. I headed over to the nearby Home Depot to see what kind of 'Oops' paints they had. I was so excited to have spotted the color I was after. When I asked the paint lady the price, she said to just take since it was only half-full. Hooray! Then I went to Home Depot near home and found another similar color for 50 cents. Boy, I am on a roll! I think I need to play the lottery...

  1. I think I need to take you shopping with me when I go for paint! I've never managed to get so lucky with the "oops" paint section as you did. Can't wait to see the finished projects! (Katya)
