Thrifted Shutter Refresh

I shared some of my thrift finds with you last week. One of which was this $5 Shutter. Since then I have been working on My Thrifted Shutter Refresh. With a little paint, paint stripper, and sanding, I got the exact look I was hoping for: Old, worn, and chippy.

I love the warm weather with a hint of Spring. To help me even feel more like Spring is on it’s way, I decided to decorate my Spring Shelves. Seriously, as I am writing this I hear the sweetest birds singing outside. So cute…

Anyway…Let’s get this show on the road!!

With our windows wide open, the smell of warm, fresh air inspired me to bring out my Spring ideas.

Don’t you just love the look of a nest with speckled eggs?? An awesome find at 99centOnly. The vintage books are a perfect way to add height.

The wreath is usually found on our front door, but she looks happy here with a bird’s nest and the other Spring elements, don’t you think??

Just a closer view of everything. The branch on the left with the humming bird nest is from my mother-in-law. She loved hummingbirds. Another sign that Spring is on it’s way.

The two african violet pots were purchased at Tai PanTrading. The moss on each pot reminds me of Spring, and new life.

The tulip pot was a dollar at Gardner Village, when I was there a few years ago. You can’t beat a dollar for tulips, can you??

Do you recognize the grapevine ball?? I found her at the thrift store. She is just the right texture to finish off my top shelf.

Can you tell I am so happy with my Spring Shelves??

What is inspiring you for Spring?? What is your favorite part about Spring??

My Spring favorites are: bloosoms on trees, green leaves, fresh flowers blooming everywhere, the birds chirping, green grass, and the warm sun telling me Summer is on it’s way.

Thanks for letting me share my Spring Shelves with you today!!

My Thrift Finds

March 2, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

I haven’t always looked for thrift finds. But, in just the past few years it has been a fun hobby for me. Today I wanted to share a few of my thrift finds from the past few weeks plus a few more! So exciting!!

The grapevine ball was $1, basket $1, the candle stick 50 cents, and the shelf was $3.

I had fun changing the shelf up to this:

I just love this $3 shelf in our office!!

On another trip to the thrift store, I found this:

I know!! $5-who could resist??? I was so excited to spot a lovely shutter!!

I have already been playing around with the shutter using layers of paint. I will be showing you that next week. I can’t wait!!

Hubby knows me so well. He took me to a HUGE warehouse sale yesterday. I have been looking for a small table for our place. Just big/small enough for the 2 of us. And then a place for the grand babies to sit while they eat, color, play games, etc…

Yep!! We paid $10 for each item! I am so stoked! The table is solid wood with a vinear top, made in the 70s. The chairs are solid wood as well. They were made in the 60s.

Seriously! A dining set for $30!! I can’t wait till my paint brush gets ahold of these!! I have great plans for these beauties!!

Do you shop thrift stores?? What are your fave finds??

A couple of other thrift finds I have found a $10 coffee table:
