This painting maybe the only find today that I will keep. The colors go wonderfully in my bedroom and I'm just drawn to her face. The painting cost $4.00
I'm a sucker for old glass bottles. I have plans for these! Look for them to show up soon in my online store looking just a tad different.
I just had to buy this cool, old metal piece. I'm going to add two pieces of glass. One in the middle and one on top for a funky repurposed coffee/plant table, don't you think? I picture it on a porch or white room.
Mirrors abound this weekend! Actually the white one I have already done, but have decided to redo it in black for my own bathroom. The other mirrors are awaiting a transformation. I love antique mirrors and have a hard time passing them up at sales!
This is actually an old sewing cabinet. The machine is long gone but I liked the lines and can picture it in a cottage color, glazed and distressed with glass knobs.
Can you believe I found this? A shabby french chair. (okay, maybe it's not really from France!) I had to pay $30 for it. That's way over my comfort zone but it had to come home with me! I'm going to recover it in - get this - painter's drop cloth. Seriously! You'll see... I'll leave the rest chippy and shabby.

Wow, I am impressed!! Some wonderful finds. That wire table base would be awesome in a sunroom!! Well...if I had one!!
I'm trying not to be envious of your FANTASTIC finds! I especially LOVE the chair! I really want that white mirror! And I'm looking forward to see what you do with the vintage jars and bottles!
Blessings!
I love the sewing machine table. That is just wonderful.
Susan - I should have given you the white mirror. Instead I painted it black to go in my guest bath. It doesn't look good. Arrgggh! I hate it when that happens! Sue
Karen: Another disaster happened when I put Krud Kutter on the sewing cabinet to wash it. All the veneer cracked and started falling off. It hasn't been a good painting day!
Sorry for such a late comment, just catching up on blogs. Not sure but I believe your wire "thing" may be a french laundry basket, which are quite the rage. I've seen them filled with throws and pillows. Cute idea to make a table. How does it look?
Unfinished:
Wow! Thank you so much! A french laundry basket. Who would have guessed??? That's remarkable. I put a piece of glass in the liddle and using it as an outdoor sunroom coffee table.
