20 days of school left!!

Here's a summer bucket list I made.  The idea is to sit down with your kids and write out all the things you want or plan to do this summer.  Go swimming, blueberry picking, camping, drive in movies, splash park, have a pic nick, etc.  Once you do the activity, take the paper down and put it in the little bucket. (Found at Michaels).  Made the blue one for a donation and sold the yellow one, but I plan to make ours very soon.  After all... only 20 days of school left.  What?!

It's like Christmas!

Recently our neighborhood had our community garage sales which we can only have 2 times a year.  Seriously, it was like Christmas for me the night before.  I was so excited.  I found this cute little shelf for $5.  Oh, and the juice plus also for $5 each.  Score!  I hear it's usually $40/box.  I never bought it before so I'm not really sure.

I turned this little shelf into a shelf to hold my inspiration words which I spray painted as well.  Taadaa.

Put with my other shutter and frames I'm starting to like the look.  Still need to do something with that little table but it's down on the list of things to do right now.

More step stool love...

Yes I AM obsessed with vintage step stools.  I have about 5 right now and one is even hidden so my husband doesn't freak out.  But what's not to love?  Ok, here's my latest find.

You can see the potential right?  I changed the seat with some white vinyl I already had in my stash of fabric.  I found it at a thrift store and knew it would come in handy some day.  Used some yellow spray paint I already had and here's my new sunshine.

I know some of you love the cream and chrome but if you know me, you know I love yellow.  I'm trying to sell this one.  Currently listed for $30.  I'll keep you all posted and we can have a farewell party for her.

"The house is starting to look like my grandmas."

There is a new Facebook page I'm a little obsessed with.  But...I have found some really good deals.  It's pretty much like craigslist, but local.  Anyway, I have been looking for little side tables and I saw ONE at a thrift store for $35 but couldn't bring myself to buy it.  Even though that seems pretty cheap for furniture.  When someone posted these TWO tables for $30 I couldn't resist.

A little lemon oil and they are so pretty.  I love them.  My hubby is starting to get scared and said his house is starting to look like his grandmas.  But I think deep down he's fine with it and it keeps me busy doing something I love!  Besides, he has his own weird hobbies.

Chair redo

I told my friend Keri I was looking for a chair to redo for my desk.  She was out at garage sales and found this little guy and bought it for me for $10.

It's so cute!  Love the shape.  With a little spray paint and new fabric to cover the seat I can now get rid of my old one that my dog loves to sit in.  I don't think he will fit in this one.  Yay!

Oh, I also scored the little side table at a garage sale for $5.  Added the cute little bird from Kirkland.  When you buy stuff for a few dollars it doesn't really matter if you mess it up.
