Thrift Store Scores

I’ve been holding out on you.  I used to post these as I found them, but time prohibited that this month.  Over the past few weeks I’ve found a bunch of thrifty finds just waiting for a new home.  Here’s a few highlights:

A bright red pitcher from France.  I have red accents in my kitchen, so I think it’s going there.  For $4, I thought it was a good find.

I could not pass this vintage Made in Japan serving plate up.  It perfectly matches a divided bowl from my husband’s nana.  They’ll go nicely together, especially since it was just $5!

How much do I want this Pottery Barn book rack for Noodle’s room (retails for $99)?

Enough that when I saw this dish rack at the thrift shop I picked it up and carried it around with me (with a few other things, while pushing a stroller) just so no one else could get it first.  The best part?  Instead of costing $99, it was just $5.  A few cuts with a saw, a coat of paint, some pearl sheen, perhaps a few decorations and I think we have a book rack!

This frame might look worthless, but wait ’till you see what I’ve got planned for it.  Hint: it’s something for baby boy’s room (gosh, I need a nickname for him).  It was $6, but with a coupon only came out to be $4.50.  Yes, I even use coupons at a thrift store.

I’ve had this for years, but it’s getting ready for a re-do so I had to show you first.  I think it cost $3 at a yard sale.  It’s going back in the guest room, but not without a few touch-ups first.

I mentioned these in another post, but I got these floral picks at Michaels for 90% off (that’s .5 cents each).  They are already on their way to becoming something else… stay tuned!

My project bin is getting VERY full.  I’m a big dreamer.  Now I need the time to make it all happen.  I’m having the hubs spray paint a ton of things for me this weekend so they’ll be ready for a few added touches.  If that happens, expect some fun DIY projects next week!
