Off White

So I went with off-white with some distressing. I just popped this one up on Craigslist in hopes of selling it...I'm trying to build a fund for my patio makeover!

(not a very good) Before:


After:






I'm not thrilled with it due to the fact that the center piece is made of particle board but you never know, it might be someone's dream headboard. We'll find out!

Headboard and Footboard Find

So yesterday was a wonderful day, My hubby took the day off of work so I got to do a little shopping by myself (Bath and Body Works has their antibacterial soaps on sale for $2.25!). My in-laws came over and had dinner with us...they make it a point to come see me on my birthday rain or shine. And for cake, a peanut butter cup ice cream cake adorned my table. Fabulous!

So after the festivities, we loaded into the car and went treasure hunting. That's when I spotted this beauty. Don't know what to do with it yet...either distressed black or off white....but it was the perfect ending to a perfect birthday. :)

Trash Pickin' Treasure

You'll never believe what I found in the trash today, I still can't believe it....





A fresh coat of paint and a screw and nut to fix a strap and presto, this woman's treasure!





Now I just have to find cushions that aren't going to cost an arm and a leg. I thought about recovering the old ones or but I have so many pokers in the fire right now that I'd rather now.....anyone know where to get patio cushions on the cheap?
