A good friend and I have been hitting up the yard sales as often as possible this summer. This past weekend, I was able to find a few good things.
The plate is destined for the kitchen and was a steal at $3. The cafeterra was also $3 and was a great find. I accidentally burned mine up a few years ago so I was excited to find it. The best find, though, is the pillow case. It is silk and from West Elm. The lady who owned it works for Pottery Barn and loves to decorate. She also loves to change up her house often and just wanted to get rid of it. She let me have it for $1! Can you believe that?? It is destined for the guest room. The guest room needs color and this is perfect for that.
The other thing that I found was a mirror. Mirrors are expensive, especially if they have a nice frame. The one I found has a nice frame and is SUPER heavy. It also has a logo on the back that I can't find anything about on Google. I am going to do a bit more research before I do anything to the mirror.
Here is the mirror and the detail on it.
Eventually, I would like to paint it a tealish color and hang it in the hall that leads down to the basement. It will go on the left where those two pictures are. The teal color should be a nice pop of color and will make interesting appeal.
Oh right, the cost. It costs a whopping $7. I know. A steal. When he told me that, I paid the man and walked away before he could change his mind. Hopefully I will be able to do a little bit of research on where it came for and then I will be able to paint it.
Wow! Great finds!!! I need to come to your yards sales, I haven't found much at the ones down here in a while!
