friday's finds

I think I am going to start posting my weekly finds every Friday. I really shop throughout the week, so rather than having a couple mentioned here and there, I have decided to make it a weekly post.

Last week I found a bench from my fave thrift store that I am planning to paint and recover. Dig that gold chenille! Unfortunately, the fabric store selection around here is pretty poor. It basically consists of Banner Crafts and WalMart. Blah. So, I am hoping to score something cute in our travels this weekend. I am looking for a colorful damask and will then paint it either antique white, or black. The paint will all depend on the fabric.


I also came across this gem of a dresser at another thrift store. It was more than I would have liked to have spent (only $10 more), but I realized that no where else will I find an antique dresser and mirror (on casters no less!) for that low of a price... so I had to get it. I even got the impressed smile and nod from D once he had seen it.



With Spring in the air (it is double digit temps after all!), I have been thinking ahead to fresh decorating. I was pretty excited to find all these things for under $15!


How great is this wreath?! It just screams fresh air!


I am looking forward to finding the perfect home for everything else. I can already see that milk glass bowl filled with lemons and limes!


Next week I will be in Chicago with my BFF, Scott. He is already scoping out places for us to hit up. I can't wait!
