Goodwill Candlestick ~

DIY | Inspiration

Do you remember this guy I picked up at the Goodwill?

Well I painted him, sanded him and game him new life...well, at least a nice fresh look. 

Not that there is anything wrong with dusty and boring.

I love how with just a little paint and some sandpaper, you can have a totally different look.

I am out of tall candles at the moment, so a pedestal it is!

Goodwill Finds ~

I have got to say, it has been way to long since I have seen my local Goodwill store - oh, how I missed you so!

Here are a few of our latest finds:

 We were really lovin' the tarnished silver and fun glass pieces. Oh, and that wood pillar, I feel a little spray painting coming on!

Goodwill Finds ~

My Mom and I hit one of the Seattle Goodwills last Friday and I was so excited about our boopie finds!

We found 5 more pieces to add to my - I guess - collection. So of course I had to Google these guys and here is what I found. The Berwick pattern, commonly referred to as "Boopie" was manufactured by Anchor Hocking from the 1950s to the 1970s. It came in Forest Green, Royal Ruby, Amber and Crystal. You can purchase them online for about 4-10 bucks per glass - but at Goodwill these babies are just .69 cents! I just love the base:

 I also picked up a few books - these are great for stacking these all over the house.

And this little box for $1.99 - also loved the feet and details on this one.

So hold me back, apparently I have a thing for the "boopie"!

Goodwill Tray ~

 I recently picked up this tray at Goodwill for $2.99 - yes, $2.99. I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do with it. 

 I thought maybe the on the counter in our master bath, maybe filled with odds and ends in my craft room - or here in the kitchen. 

Here is what I had before:

I was thinking this was pretty good. I liked the container and I loved that it all had a "place" (I know I am a little crazy like that). But this looks so much better -

That little Herbs of Provence is actually my salt jar. We don't use a ton of salt when cooking, but when grilling and sauteing veggies we tend to turn to sea salt for a little extra favor.

I love the details on the tray - my hubby thinks it looks a bit like Grandma's house, but I likey!

Oh, how I love this little dish.

So for $2.99, I am thrilled with my new tray for kitchen - 

Two Goodwill Tables ~

Do you remember this fantastic Goodwill find for only $7.50 - 

And this find for $4.99

Now I love them both, but the hallway table just seemed to need a little more "weight" and the piano bench was really too tall for my Grandparents piano. So I put them together...

And I love it! 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Goodwill Finds ~

Here are a few of my latest and greatest Goodwill finds. 

I have been on the hunt for a round accent table for our family room and everything I love just happens to be way too expensive. So image my delight when I spotted this lovely table for just $14.99! Now it needs a little lovin' - but with a new finish (either a darker stain or maybe black) it will be perfect.

I love how chunky these candlesticks are - they were $1.99, $2.99 and you guessed it $3.99.

And I love this little dish. It matches my "cake stands" I made a few months ago perfectly. I have recently learned it is called boopie glass. I just love the base. 

So stayed tuned for the fabulous transformation of that great, and cheap, round table! And does anyone have any great tips on how to strip this?

Look at all of these groves and angles!

Goodwill Finds ~

I hit my local Goodwill yesterday and thought I would share my finds. I picked up the tall urns for $5.99 each. I think these would be great outside or even next to my sink...

Maybe something kinda like this...
And a couple glass bowls for .99 cents and candlestick holders for $1.99. I am not sure yet, but I can see some sort of project with the holders. I just love how chunky they are.

And I picked up two glass plates and two more candle holders. Now I know you have all seen this next action -

But I just love a cakestand! A little gorilla glue and you have yourself a beautiful stand.
I especially love them stacked.

When they are not holding scrumptious treats, mine holds a few of my necessities.

Another Thrift Find Turn Pedestal ~

Okay, so I am on a roll. Here is another Goodwill find next to a $1 frame from Michaels.

Here they are with a fresh coat of black spray paint.
I created a tag with the letter "P" and used a little jute to attach to my new pedestal.

I really love how the frame fit perfectly around the square top.

And here it is in its new color and new function! And for a grand tally of $2 - oh how I love the Goodwill.
