My weekly thrifty finds

While I missed the Longest Yard Sale, I did find some treasures at His House and Good Will last week. Therefore, I am joining Rhoda's Thrifty Treasure Monday, yet again. I just love Mondays for this reason and no other reason. Stop in at Rhoda's to see more great ideas after you're done here.

Here is what I scored between His House and GW. Total cost was $3.25. And two of them have already been transformed.

See the little mirror I painted. I gave it a light coat of Heirloom white for a more antique look and plan to put it in my daughter's room when we get to move her into her 'new' room. The little frame was also painted with Heirloom white, but a thicker coat. and I plan to take the old picture out and put colorful paper in there and paint her initial on the paper.

A closer look at the mirror before:

This picture came from His House for $1 and it is already 1/2 way redone. I will include a post when it's complete.

Did you see this platter in the above picture with all my goodies. It was one of those silver numbers but I spray painted it Heirloom white and put a decal of our state tree (Palmetto Tree). And yes, I cheated and didn't actually PAINT it. I'm not that good. Ahem.

I gave this to a friends of mine as a birthday present last week.

And I might as well join Susan's Metamorphosis Monday too since I have had an ongoing project that include Oil Rubbed Bronze and my light fixtures and door knobs.
here is a glimpse of my bathroom before. Can you see that dated ugly gold towel rod? Yep, it was all over the bathroom. (sorry couldn't get great before pics)

Well, here it is after a coat of my new love.....Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint! I can't believe it took me 5 years to do this!
Even the door handle got painted. (So did my front door BRASS knob.....someone stop me now!)

Thanks for stopping in....Please don't forget to check out Rhoda and Susan for more great ideas!
