Whatcha Working on Wednesday!

Hi prim girls,
Today is Whatcha Working on Wednesday! at Leslie's blog,
My Country Home.
Few days ago, I was in a TS and I saw a wall cupboard, nice and sturdy (great construction) but it cost $8.00. I was thinking that it is to much for TS finding and leave it. After that, I am thinking on it every day. My mind always saying to me.... What are you thinking ? Why you leave it? $8.00 is a bargain. It was so nice for a makeover .... go again, and if you find it , grab it. I can wait one day more, I was in the TS and when I saw it I almost jump to the ceiling . I was working on these projects today.

Before,


After,
See the candle holder drawing in this piece of wood,


Some pieces of wood that I had...


Now,

Bye , bye and see you soon...

TS Findings

Hi girls,
Today, I have better luck. I spend $8.50 ( including tax) and found the following:

Spool lamp - $4.00

Old Pineapple mold - $1.00
Candle holder with candle - $3.00 ( from Virginia Metalcrafters)

Basket - 50 cents
I think they are good items but my favorite is the candle holder.... What do you think ???

New makeover

Hi prim girls, this weekend I didn't have time to visit the yard sales in my area. Only I make a little stop in my favorite TS on Saturday, but the only thing that I found was a wood ice bucket. It only cost $1.50 and was in a good condition. I painted it in antique white, sanded and stained.

See pic's....


Sorry, I forgot to take the picture before the base coat.

******
On Thursday, I was in the GW and I found the following: A wood rack, two pottery mugs, they are brown inside a cream and blue in the outside. They comes signed by the artist and dated 1991. All in this picture is 50 cents except for the rack , it was $ 2.79. Probably it is a little expensive for a GW but it measured about 26" long for 5 " wide. Stay tune for the makeovers.





Bye, bye and see you soon.....

** Whatcha Working on Wednesday! **

Hi prim girls,
Today is Whatcha Working on Wednesday! at Leslie's blog,

******* MAKEOVERS *******

It's me again.....Few days ago I posted a box that I found in a YS for 50 cents. It has a beautiful brown color, but is too plain for my taste. Before my makeover,

Now,
This gameboard had apples painted on it. I thought that it needs a huge change....
I painted it black, sanded then I stenciled " Checkers ..... 25 cents a game" and painted a yellow ochre star. Sanded again and stained with dark walnut. See it now.... I think it looks awesome.

Bye , Bye .... see you in the next "Whatcha Working on Wednesday".

My new cupboard

Hi girls..... Few weeks ago I found this piece in a Thrift Store. It had some imperfections but a great potential. Obviously, I look to the future... 4 steps: clean, sand, paint and stain and it will be an amazing piece. I forgot to tell you the price...... only $30.00, probably is high price for a TS find , but for a cupboard.... Here is the picture before,
after,
Please, give me your opinion. What do you think?? Also, I want to share with you my new findings...

This pewter set was 50 cents/ea piece. The large wood gameboard was $3.00.

In an antique store I paid $7.00 for this crock.

This old cast iron corn mold was $4.00 in a TS.

These two pieces are $5.00 total.
Sorry, they looks better.... these pictures are too bright. See you soon with new makeovers .... Bye, Bye.
