facebook, frog legs and furniture....

yes...that is what my day has consisted of!!! lol i couldn't think of a name for this piece so i just decided to call it that because that's pretty much what i have done while working on it... :)

you guessed it "garage sale!" uhm...this little thing was naked as could be when i got it.....not sure if you can see the pen and crayon markings all over it. i thought it looked pretty sad :( well... i knew i could do SOMETHING with it..!?!? just wasn't too sure what and now that's it's finished i'm having a hard time even thinking about letting it go :/ it matches my bedroom furniture...so...I WANT TO KEEP IT.....but i CAN'T!!!!!!!! i'm starting to think i should have named my blog "depressing departure" or "temptation torture"...lol because i want to keep everything that i flip!! ugh!

gracefully green...

so.... another garage sale treasure!!! for some reason i get a little excited about some of these finds more than others. well anyway.....as you can see this sweet little thing needed some help and just painting it solid green wasn't enough. so i added a little black and white elegance to it...and for those of you who know me.... this is sooo not my style but i love it! it's not my usual "rustic redo" ...can you believe...no distressing involved?!?!

*if you happen to love it too well you can be the proud owner..for a small fee that is!!! just let me know!

rocky baby...

nope...no babies to rock here! just an ugly green rocker that i picked up at a garage sale a few months ago that desperately need some TLC! i took it from "gross green" to "raging red!!!" just a simple flip that is much more pleasing to the eye and now we can enjoy on our back porch!

oh and by the way i used to sing a silly little song called "rocky baby" to my sweet babies and now i sing it to my little sweeties at school :)

Incomplete...

well...have you missed me?? lol...i've missed you!!!! so anyway this one is titled "incomplete" because ...it's missing something.

so...a few months ago a friend of mine called me up and asked "if i purchases a dresser at a garage sale will you flip it?" and my reply in short was "why yes... i will!" sooooo....here it is. i'm bummed because i didn't get a true before pic...but i think she might have one on her phone. anyway after several coats of wood filler and sanding...i was able to hide the original drawer pull holes. she wanted it lightly distressed...so i attempted the layered look.... which didn't work out as planned but now that it's somewhat finished i think it's perfect! when i say "somewhat finished" ....you've probably noticed what is missing....knobs. she special ordered some beautiful knobs that she had seen in a a furniture store. they will be here in a few weeks so you probably won't get to see the finished product because i am delivering it this week and she is attaching them herself.

Going Green ....well sort of....

so my fiesta buffet was missing something...above it that is. i was thinking of something along the lines of maybe like 3 pictures or 3 different message boards but mike suggested a mirror. maybe ...with a green frame.... to match the green on the buffet. so his wish was granted :) i happened to stop at a garage sale and found just what i was looking for....a mirror that needed some TLC! this lovely mirror with a gold frame jumped right out at me ;) thanks to another friend who knew that i was looking for fence panels i was able to make a frame....paint it green do a little sanding and attached the old gold mirror to it and well here ya have it.... my new and improved mirror that hangs above my fiesta buffet! "it completes it!"

Can you say.... "BURN PILE?!?!"

well you are sure to get a kick out of this one.....

i spotted this amazing chair in a burn pile on the side of the road....yes a burn pile!!! i tried to get my oldest son to stop and pick it up while we were out and about one day..... he said "mom...it's daylight!!"..lol so a few weeks later he and my sweet hubby stopped off and picked it up for me :) it was night by the way!

i absolutely can't wait to get my hands on it! i have big plans for it :)

so be on the look out for the "flip"
