Here is ANOTHER trash to treasure makeover. A friend was getting rid of this cute but beat up night stand/side table and asked if I wanted it. Yup, of course I did. In the past couple of months I have made some decent money making over and selling furniture that either myself, my husband, or friends find for me on the curb waiting for the garbage trucks (or waiting for someone like me to come…
Here is yet ANOTHER trash to treasure makeover. A neighbor was getting rid of this cute half circle side table (as well as a few other fun things) so I grabbed it. In the past couple of months I have made some decent money making over and selling furniture that either myself, my husband, or friends find for me on the curb waiting for the garbage trucks (or waiting for someone like me to come…
There I go again, picking things out of people’s trash piles. I can’t help myself. Well, I have to admit, I usually spot something on the side of the road and then send my husband to get whatever it is. OR, a lot of times he finds things when he is out and about and brings things home for me. We make a good team. Anyway, a neighbor was getting rid of this cute little…
After a few months off, we are back with our Thrift Store Challenge blog hop! I have been participating in these monthly Thrift Store Challenges with a group of bloggers for over a year, but thanks to COVID we had to take some time off. Anyway, we are BACK! If you are new here, the rules for the challenge are as follows – purchase something from a thrift shop, garage sale, etc. OR revamp/upcycle a…
My husband did it again! He took this old writing desk (I think it is a writing desk, am I right??) off the side of the road, which was meant for the garbage trucks, and brought it home for me. He is a trash picker. You can see all the other goodies he has brought home for me and their trash to treasure makeovers here. This piece was very cute, but was also very beat…
If you’ve been following me at all, then you know my husband has found some pretty good things at the curb waiting for the garbage trucks. Like this Trash to Treasure End Table, This Bench, and these Wicker Chairs! I, however, never have much luck in this department. That is until a few weeks ago when I spotted THESE! The day I found these was trash day, and consequently as I was leaving my neighborhood,…
It is time for the December Thrift Store Challenge! I have been participating in these monthly Challenges with a group of very creative bloggers since April. It is so much fun! You can see all my past projects here. The rules for the challenge are that we can purchase something from a thrift shop, garage sale, OR we can revamp/upcycle a piece(s) we already own that no longer worked in our home, OR that we…
New Project… My husband is a trash picker! He literally took this old side table off the side of the road, which was meant for the garbage trucks, and brought it home for me. The top needed work but overall it was in pretty good shape, so I was happy he did that! You know what they say…”One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” My mind started thinking of ideas immediately on how I could…
