Someone's junk....

Became MY treasure! 

Last year.... ok nearly 16 months ago... I ventured out on my first ever GARAGE "TREASURE" HOPPING! sale.  A dear friend of mine ... (Miss TAMMYof PINK OWL DESIGNS) helped guide me along, barter and SCORE some great deals!  BUT.... as life would have it - I just didn't ever get the opportunity to "dive" into someone's junk to make my treasure.... until today..... 

I puchased 2 of the these BEAUTIES for $5.00!!! 

SCORE!!!!

 

Before..... 

After....

Sure it cost about $7.50 to paint and $6 for the cushion.... 

BUT they are cast iron

Heavy and they will work PERFECT on our patio! 

The next project 

(I almost forgot to get a BEFORE picture!) 

This was actually a DUMPSTER save! 

It's been sitting in my back yard for about 3 or 4 years.... 

 NOW!! She has earned a seat on the front porch.... don't you just love it!?!?! 

It's not quite done... I want to either turn it into a "planter box" 

(by cutting 2 large circles in the seat and putting potted flowers in.... 

Or.... just a couple pillow.... maybe a garland of some sort ...

I've got time to "ponder' on it...don't I???? 

Now this was not "junk to treasure" treasure...

it was a purchase! 

I have been admiring this for MONTHS I tell you! 

And today.... I found it on clearance and decided 

"HECK YEAH!!! I'm worth a "treat!"

For now it has earned a spot on the front court-yard patio....

but HOPEFULLY in the next month or so 

It will be in the back sitting on the cute little 

:BREAKFAST table....

(Have I mentioned just how excited I am to have access to our backyard!?!?!)

If I haven't....

I am

SUPER-DUPER 

EXCITED!

Then.... 

I found me some matching rockers! for just $5 bucks!!!

That from the looks of them, they have seen better days...

Sure... we have a little work to do... but you get the idea..

SO.... stay tuned for the ROCKER Unveiling! 

 I was just TOO pooped today to finish!
