Front porch set. Diy. Thrift store find.

So I found these beautiful detailed chairs at a local thrift store for $2.50 a piece and a beat up table for $4. I am a sucker for junk but I see beyond the look and what it can be. They have now been sitting in my storage room for 3 months I finally painted them the vintage teal color I used on my entertainment center in a previous post and bought some beautiful fabric from Mary Jo's $9 worth. I painted them and reupholstered them added some polycrylic and tada!!! Sadly this is the first project I have sold and I say sadly because I keep everything lol even though I buy it intending to sell it but I have to make the hubby happy too. Happy Thursday. More projects coming I scored a beautiful dining set for $20 I am about to redo and keep :) I will post it step for step soon. Thanks for reading. Xo Savannah

Vintage Potato holder revamped

So as I am browsing through my local goodwill this vintage potato holder catches my eye. Of course not many people can see the beauty in things but I can always look at something and see the after. Best part of this story I only paid $3.99 and had a can of blue lagoon spray paint in satin I have been wanting to use. So I cleaned it really well , lightly sanded and it was ready for spray painting. After two coats of paint I then put tape in rows over the heart to create the stripes added some grey acrylic paint and polycrylic and there ya go a beautiful potatoe holder. Can be used for laundry or just a conversation piece. Happy Monday funday.
