Over Labor Day weekend we had a soccer tournament on the other side of town. In preparation for my long days, I scoured Craigslist for any gems in the area.
I spotted one, made an appointment and scooted over to a lady’s home in between games. While picking up my piece, I asked what else she might have for sale. That’s what they do on that pickers show, so I went for it.
Little did I know that she had a TON of things. Some were true antiques and she wanted too much for them. Remember, I am thrifty.
But she did have a few things that I could afford and not feel guilty painting.
After 45 minutes, I left her cool air conditioned house with a few things and a scheduled return trip the next day.
They are finally all revamped.

You can see I tried to salvage them, but it wasn’t working for me.
The other gems I scored were:
I shared the finished look yesterday.
