Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

Friday, Mandy and I went to a couple of Estate Sales.  On our lunch hour of course!  I bought a few things that I really was excited about!

I didn’t take a “before” of this table, but it had a terrible paint treatment…something with spots!  I don’t know WHAT they were thinking! lol  But I saw potential!  I am going to paint my patio furniture too!  I have got to get busy!!

I loved this frame and map.  Really BIG map!  Not so fond of the most unhappy lady though…she’s gonna go!

The frame is chippy(definitely chipped)!  But I only paid $5 for it, so I can deal!

The table in the bedroom.  We needed another bedside table in here and I think this works!  Steve had this bedroom suit when we married and I do love it!  BUT the ex got the other bedside table!  Who DOES that???  Just sayin’

Of course Bella!  I still need to get the trim on the other lamp shade.

  1. Great finds, Lou Cinda! Love that table and it's perfect for the bed side. The frame is great, too. I like how you have it placed with the candles in front of it. I need to get going on outside work, too.

  4. The side table is perfect! I just read your post on your son's accident. How frightening! Thank goodness he was alright. It's a mothers worse fear. You did have a lot to be thankful for this Easter.

  6. The ex got the night table? What's up with that? hahaha Girl, you are hilarious!
    And besides, I love your "new" table better anyway! ;)

    As for the frame...that was an awesome find. You made it so elegant by painting it black...you are a girl after my own heart!!!

    Bella seems to be enjoying the bedroom makeover, she's so relaxed in that big comfy bed. Does she let ya'll sleep with her? haha

    Hope you are having a wonderful week...and painting your outdoor furniture. I can't wait to sit out there with you!!!! ;)

  7. Lou Cinda,
    Love your refurbished little table and the mirror. We love our spray paint, don't we? LOL And what was with taking one night stand?!
    Glad your son, Seth, is okay and only the car is damaged! I know what it is to worry- I've got a boy, as well. And even though he is older, I still worry.... Take care. hugs, Sue

  8. Oh what great finds Lou Cinda! And they turned out wonderful. That frame was a great buy! It is so hard for me to find really nice frames thrifting these days. They either want an arm and leg for them or I just don't see any.

    Have a wonderful day!

  12. Lou Cinda, that frame looks gorgeous painted black! What vision you had. The table makes a great bedside table (so funny about the ex taking the other one - you're right, who does that). laurie

  29. That map is awesome and the frame looks great painted black! I am always trying to find good frames but I can't seem to find any inexpensive ones. People are always asking a lot for frames in this area.
