Coming Soon: Finds from a sister mini road trip

Recently my sisters and I went on a mini road trip. We went thrifting and antiquing into nothern Utah and Southern Idaho.

It reminded me of old times. When I was about 13 years old my older sister and I would go to yard sales, when we made it far enough north we would always say,"we made it this far lets go to Brigham City" when we got there, we would say the same thing about the next city and so on until one time we ended up in Pocatello via back roads nearly four hours from home.

Although this time we didn't make it that far (if we had my oldest sister would have gone mutinous) we still had a great time!

We went to great thrift stores and antique stores and I am way excited to share all the fun finds with you . Look for them this week!

$4.00 chairs and free paint

*Lets get some things straight: I do not take good photos I am hoping as time goes by my photos will be so great that you'll want to frame them and call them art, but til then we will all have to settle.

About a month ago I purchased these cobolt blue and hunter green chairs from a goodwill store. The chairs had great lines to them and at $4.00 a chair I could spare some money. Also that trip I purchased some vintage soda bottles (I'll show you those another time).

When I bought the chairs I decided to paint them white. I used high gloss white paint which I regret now, but the paint was given to me so why not. I wish I used a creamy white flat paint.

1) I lightly sanded the chairs

2) applied paint

3) dried

4) one is on the porch and the other one is computer chair!

Lightly Sanded



Pretty Sad! It was rotated just fine where I had saved it, but it uploaded this way. Learning curve I guess.
