Goodwill & Thrift Store finds..

Ok  .,.. I have my work cut out for  me...   when is it going to cool off so I can get back to work??  I need my motivation from last week..   lol  I usually look for projects that aren't going to last much past a weekend..or two..  things that just need a coat of paint are my favorite.

Here are the projects waiting for transformation in my garage.

Dresser from St Vincent De Paul..

Black or white????    Any ideas anyone??







Little round table that got canibalized for the Headboard Bench project.. I am going to do some crazy stenciling  on it and maybe a clock face on the top.??  .. Goodwill.




Tiny Armoire....  I'm thinking Celery Green with some sort of stenciling.. and distressing... new knobs of course...   a good cabinet for sewing and craft items..???
 















2 chairs  from St Vincent De Paul..  
They need to be black...   with some pretty patterned seats...   currently my mother has no chairs.. so..   these two   along with ....




THESE 2   will make 4 chairs for her kitchen table.


Matching cushions on these cheap little Ikea Chairs,
that I got at the Goodwill .. will do my mother just fine.


The gold chair there is a Panda Express Chair.. right? 

I always admire the sturdy little chairs in that restaurant.  Now I have 1 of my very own.. I think it will make a good desk chair for my mother since she doesn't have a desk chair anymore either..   Poor mom..

Moving right along,      ....


The Wierd Armoire that someone made..  and cleverly used 2 shutters for the doors...   this is the heaviest and sturdiest thing ever.... it would even be good for tools...  if I loose interest.. ??  it can stay in the garage. 


and then last but not least my favorite project right now..  and the next one I plan to work on is THIS armoire... 



Goodwill.



Check out the detail at the top..very pretty...  just a crummy color at the moment.

This one is definitely going to be Black with some new knobs and a little distressing.. it is very sturdy and heavy .

So there are my weekend projects for the next say.????..  5 weekends. ( months.) (years) .   ???

 Of course I will still be shopping for MORE projects...  these will be done before you know it.
