Garage Sale Stand <$5, but Free To Me!

Okay, so you know how you have 5+ projects lined up that you have great plans for?  Well, that’s usually how I work. Anyway back to this post.  I have a wonderful new friend that loves that I go garage sailing and Thrift store shopping for my Redo’s She, however, doesn’t know how something speaks to you, I mean you see something and immediately know what you want to make out of it. However, being someone that loves to be supportive she went to a garage sale last week and found and bought this little stand for me. 



This would not have 
been my first pick, 
but I took it on as a 
challenge… So, I got 
my paints out after I cleaned it up and 
started repainting. 












So, what do you all think? Better after, right?

  2. Yes the after is lovely. It was pretty too but the toned down colors are very shabby chic. I love to find bargains and re-use and re-purpose them. Save so much that way and new stuff is often made so cheaply. Have a wonderful week ahead.

  29. Hi Ms. T...

    Better? That's far way from better, I can see. Absolutely, chic now and the touch is my style.

    Happy w/end.
