furniture finds

I am sitting here with my little tiny baby girl. She is all wrapped up and bright eyed. She is so stinkin' beautiful and we are all so in love with her! Austin, Brooklyn and I couldn't be happier!

I meant to post about recent finds a while back, and didn't get around to it. I have a few different odds and ends, but for today I will stick with furniture.

Sorry for the poor lighting...I took these pictures in the garage. This is a neat chair. Its boring as is, but for $4.98 I couldn't pass it up. I am thinking that I will use it in my office/craft room. It is going to need to be painted and reupholstered. Maybe I will paint the wood white and find a light blue fabric, or maybe a floral pattern. I am not sure, but I will be sure to post some before and after pictures.

(Notice the white in the background. This is a big table I bought at goodwill some time ago, with its first coat of white paint. I have to paint the legs and another coat, but I am thinking it too will join the chair as a craft/scrapbook/office table...so many projects, so little time :o)

This picture does not do this piece justice! When I stumbled across this, I was actually looking for some time of iron/metal garden fixture for my new berry bushes to grow on. I saw this large cabinet and just loved the color. You can't tell so much in this picture, but it has a very pretty shade of green paint with a lighter paint, very chippy and crackled. Being the size that it was, I almost didn't bother asking how much the guy wanted for it. (we were at an indoor flea market) The man asked if he could help me with anything, and I asked about the price. He said $55! I had to buy it, I have been looking for some type of cabinet/armoire to store my vintage dishes. This piece is really solid and definitely one of a kind.

Here are a couple of items on my wish list:

I am really trying to be frugal right now. But the price for that queen headboard/footboard and the price for that couch make it really difficult! I know, you are probably thinking I'm nuts, wanting a white couch. But the couch is slipcovered and so the covers can be easily removed and washed. I just love this metal bed. I have been searching for a while, but this has definitely been the best deal. I am picturing all these pieces of furniture in our cottage house. I can't wait!

I am so tired...thought I would steal away a few moments to blog, and now I am going to bed!

Goodnight Friends!
