Table Makeover

Hey y'all! Hope you had a good week-end. We have been getting in some good beach time as the weather is a little cooler. I did get in a few yard sales and thrift shopping. I wanted to share this little table I picked up earlier at Goodwill for ten dollars. I sanded, primed, and painted it. I still need to distress it and put on a sealer.

Here it is dressed out in some thrift finds. I know the lamp is brass,ugh. That is a project on my to-do list.

I left the original hardware for now... undecided what I want to do.

I found this cute little frame for .50 and painted it white. The picture is a Birthday card. I found at
Dollar General. It is so sweet. I picked it up not knowing what I would do with it.

Simple enough, I cut of Happy Birthday and framed it. My kind of project. She says doing the happy dance.

While on the beach early Saturday evening we witnessed this cute little couple getting married!

There was no one there but the couple and the minister. I'm showing the photos from the back for privacy.

The minister insisted on taking our picture after the ceremony. Sooo here we are all dirty, grimy and with no makeup...  and no that is not a seagull on my head . Note to self, call the hairdresser when you get back home.

Have a great week and y'all come back to see us.
Fabulous parties I am linking to are:

How I'm spending my summer vacation...

When I was teaching I always had the students write about how they spent their summer vacation. I know you, as well as me, when I was the student, was sick to death of writing about "summer vacation... but it always gave me great insight to their lives, their interests, and their exposure to the world.

If I were writing about my summer today,  I would surely include this little find - I would title it,

My Ten Minute Find!

On my way home from running errands I decided to stop by the Goodwill. I only had 10 mins max and thought it probably a waste of my time. As soon as I opened the door I spotted it straight ahead... towards the back. I made a bee line to it and could not believe it was only $12.

I had been looking for a small wooden table to go on the deck at the beach condo. I could picture it already in my mind... cleaned up and painted white (of course). All things were made to be painted white.

I took it home and cleaned it up and  sat it in the kitchen... its' new temporary home until I can take it to the beach. 

 Now I'm thinking I kinda like it there. It matches perfectly although the green 90's wallpaper is coming down this fall the new color will be taupe..... it's just too hot to tackle anything like that now. Oops! That's Skippers checked placemat for his water bowl on the side. His presence always seems to make its' way into my pictures!

Glad you could stop by. Come again often
