Thrift Store finds and a Re-do

Morning all. Im a little behind on posting my thrift store finds. Wesley and I got up Friday morning and hit the thrift stores. I had several things in mind that I was looking for, but didnt find them. I did come home with a few things though and I have revamped one of them already. I spent a total of $22, I dont think that was to bad. This is what I picked up:



2- oval wooden bowls
1- wire rug beater
1- Candle sconce(blue)
1- Set of sconces
1- Soon to be wooden candle sconce (left) not sure what they are called, but gonna make it a candle holder
1- Wooden slotted thingy. Not sure what I will use it for, but I'll think of something. Any ideas will be appreciated
1- Set of canisters. They have some ugly potpori (sp) in them. Gonna put some labels on them and use'em in the bathroom.
1- Little wooden peg thingy, hard to see that one. In front of canister set.

My plans for Friday night were to finish them all, but with things goin on here I only finished the canister set. I hope to get the rest of them finished soon. Here is the completed canister set. I "had" to order more labels I got these from blue*cupboard*primitives on ebay. 54 in the set. Love'em.




Now for the Re-do part of my post. After visiting Lisa's shop yesterday, and getting all my goodies I had to find a home for them.

I have a cabinet that I have been wanting to paint for the longest time. I dont know why I have been putting it off. So, yesterday after returning home I set out to paint that cabinet. It took me the longest time, but I got it finished. Im soooo glad I painted it and now some of my items have a new home.

Before it was just a country looking cabinet with chicken wire on the doors on the top.



I think black is all the rage and it seems that everything I find or have I want to paint black. That was my color of choice. I had a wonderful little helper too. I cant forget to mention my helper. He did such a wonderful job painting the drawers and doors.
For those of you who have met my youngest, this is Wesley he is 4. He loooves to help his mama paint. I dont think it's so much that he thinks he's helping me I think it's the thrill of getting to paint. LOL


Here he is again thinking really hard about what it is he's doing.


Ok, ok back to the finished project. Here it is:



I replaced the wire with some homespun fabric rather than using the wire. I love how it turned out. Here are a few more of the items I chose to add to the cabinet.

There is one of the flicker candles and holder and the trivet I got from Lisa.


Sorry the fabric doesnt show very well in this pic


This pic is blurry, but I put the candle and some fabric in the top slot.


Well, that's all I have. I think everything turned out wonderful. Thanks for stoppin by. I hope you have a great day.
