I Think My Family Is Embarrassed By Me Post . .

I bought some more junk the other day . . . .

and I had SO much fun.

My wonderful grandma gave me some money for my birthday and as soon as I saw it I knew I would be taking it to the Thrift Store.
She would have probably snatched it out of my hands if I had told her that.

I wanted to make my entry way look halfway decent, since it is the first thing people see when they come in my house!

I came home with an armload of "treasures"



Remember the cool tree frame from this post?

Well, I found her little sister!!!


Who knew there was another one of these ugly things lying around? (I do agree with the words printed on it - Just not in a puke green)
I was so excited in the store when I found her I think the cute, trendy lady next to me honestly ran away.

Just look how pretty she turned out!


Take that cute, trendy lady!

I washed out the dusty, interesting vase and put the interesting plant in. Voila!


I kinda like it!


I painted the green, wooden platter a ruby red.


Oh, I am so in love with it!


I placed the wooden pear on the candle holder . . .

Loveliness.


And, the mirror.


Don't get me started on my love for this mirror.


All in all, I think it turned out great (at least in my little design world :) ).



There is just something about going into a creepy, dark thrift store with its' random unwanted items, and finding diamonds in the rough.

Okay.

I'm done creeping you out.

Be brave.

Head over to your "I don't think I can go in there" thrift store today.
