Garage Sale Finds

I've realized that I am always talking about going to garage sales and finding goodies. Most of which are just small things like frames and other junk that I upcycle. Lately I've been picking up little pieces to refinish. So I thought I would share with you some of the things that I've found. I'd love to hear your thoughts about how I should refinish each project!




A wood table I picked up for $5.00 I really don't know what to do with this, but I like the retro look of it!




I got this cabinet for $20.00 at a garage sale. Again, not sure what to do... suggestions please!




An old chair for $5.00 - i might have overpaid. But I did like the look of it.


A shelf with hooks. Probably for the bathroom. My idea this far is to sand it, paint it white and add glaze to give it a beachy look. Your thoughts are welcomed!!!


And lastly, a vintage alarm clock. I love these. I've always wanted one. I think i'm going to start collecting these...






My finds are not nearly as great as my new friend Fran's at www.eleven-o-one.blogspot.com/ You've got to see some of her projects they are BEAUTIFUL! Please visit her blog, she has such great talent! Here is a little teaser of some of her things...
