More Future Projects. . .

I have found some pretty neat pieces lately that, if and when I get the time, I anticipate will look pretty amazing!

I absolutely love the scalloped edges on this table.

Here is a coffee table and 2 end tables

that need to be re-done:

And finally, this bookcase/hutch that is

actually in 2 pieces.

This is going to be great all "shabbied" up!

Stay tuned because I have been working on some old doors for a customer with a wedding decorating business.  They turned out shabby fabulous!

Hoosier, not the one from the movie

There is a local barn that houses some fabulous antiques, junk, and treasures!  Not many people know about it, but I found it one weekend when I was out hunting for yard sales and drive by nearly every Saturday to see if she is open for business.  For those of you from Utah the owner of the barn (and all the treasures) is the founder of Gardner Village.  She has acquired quite the collection of antiques, but has decided it is time to get serious about selling.

Nancy had listed some furniture on our local version of Craigslist and I called on an old Hoosier.  She told me to come by Friday morning to look at it.  I went and fell in love with this beauty!

 The Showers Furniture Company opened in 1910.

I am still researching my exact piece though.

The white flat space is actually made from tin!

What a Beaut!



Thrifting Treasures. . .

Because I have a full-time job in retail, I generally have to work weekends.  Which means I work Saturdays.  Which means I generally miss my local yard sales.  Which makes me extremely sad :O(




Thankfully, my parents were visiting this past weekend for my cousin's wedding, and thankfully my Hubby also likes to go to yard sales.  So, while I was slaving away at my job, my fam was out going to the local yard sales.  There was one community that is only allowed to have yard sales once a year and this past weekend just so happened to be it!  There were over 100 yard sales within a 3-mile radius.  Jackpot!  All in all they were only able to go to 20 yard sales before they ran out of time.  Here are some of the treasures they brought home:

This is an adorable Lavendar wicker nightstand

with old wallpaper on the top under glass.

 Cutest little feet ever!

This little yellow metal cart has the

original casters on it.

 

Just look at this beautiful Cake Tin!

I love the pattern and the colors! 

I tried to get a pic of the name, Ballonoff.

This tin is dated to the late 1970s.

The pretty aqua Melamine Melmac dishes are

Fostoria, dated to the 1950s.

 We have 3 pieces total.

 I need a Saturday off so that I can join

in on the festivities.

I love the hunt almost as much as

I love the redo's!
