Goodwill Goodies

Here are some items I found this weekend. Of course this is only the home decor stuff, my son and daughter also scored on some great finds. I think they are finally starting to like GW.Let me start of by saying, I love frames! My husband still doesn't understand

my obsession with them, but that's OK.
Next is this pretty silver plated cup with white roses($1.25), and this
desk organizer($5) that will come in handy.


This tall candle stick took my breath away! Imagine how gorgeous it will
look once it meets Heirloom White?

These 2 pottery barn cups were only .75 cents each, they will probably
be used for office supplies.

Last, but not least, these two trays... they just need a little bit of cleaning.

Well this is all for now, be sure to come back tomorrow for some mini before and afters of my Goodwill and Garage sales finds. Thank you as always for your kind visit. :)

frame redo

.

Now we all have seen or may own these type of frames. I personally have several that I have purchased in garage sales or Goodwill, this one cost me .75cents. I really like it as is,but it doesn't go with my decor, so I painted it. I used Americana Acrylic Paints in white and spa blue, paper plate, damp paper towel, and a sponge tip applicator.

First, I poured the white paint directly on the frame making sure that the paint was going inside the letters, I use the sponge to dab it in.

Next, I used a moist paper towel to rub off the white paint of the frame. The letters should be nicely filled with white paint, I retouched where needed.

Last, I poured spa blue on the paper plate, and reused the sponge (I rinsed it before)and dabbed some paint on it(not too much). I brushed gently over the frame being careful not to put too much pressure on it so I that the paint would not go in the letters and mess up the effect.

Here is the after picture! What do you think?
