Happy Memorial Day: Thrifty Treasures

Hope you all are having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Don’t you love long weekends?

Now that I’m working at home, long weekends don’t mean quite as much as they used to, since I don’t have paid holidays anymore.  But, I love the flexible schedule of working for myself.

I didn’t travel anywhere this weekend, but plan on spending the day on Monday with my friend Debbie at her house, sitting on the porch and enjoying her beautiful pool.  Summer is officially here!

Some of you found some great treasures last week, so I’m highlighting a few of my faves.

The Reading Girl found this fancy old bed on Craigslist and painted it creamy white with distressing.  It is officially gorgeous now and looks so much better painted.

The Gaines Gang made this gallery wall in a teen room with the addition of some thriftstores frames.  Way to stretch that budget!

House of Hawthornes found these funky and rustic wooden boxes for 25 cents each, people!  Now that is a thrifter’s best find.

And she found this vintage motel chair for $10 at an estate sale.  I’ve always loved the nostalgic feel of these old metal chairs.

Living in the 513 found this great old vintage side table with a marble top that is so classic.

Globes are such great pieces to decorate with and I’ve found a few of these myself.  I love using them like this…..

Meg and Andy found these and what a great look to group them all on top of this bookcase.  Group those collections for the best display.

Who doesn’t love vintage aqua Pyrex?  The Country Chic Cottage picked these up for a steal at Goodwill for 99 cents each.

Myra from The Casabella Project found these beautiful framed maps at an estate sale for $15 (plus one more thrown in) and they are a wonderful grouping.

There are a TON of parties out there to highlight all your projects, so please let’s keep this one about thrifty finds that were bought 2nd hand!

3. Please do NOT link to an Etsy shop or something similar (even if you think it’s a fabulous deal) or I will delete the link. This party is for sharing thrifty finds from yardsales, thriftstores, or something along those lines.
