We all have good Goodwill days & bad Goodwill days. Some days it's like everything just calls out to you & the possibilities seem endless...then, there are other days when it just feels like you're looking at other peoples' stuff. I've learned that you have to have the eye for great thrift store treasures. It's taken time, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Today definitely turned out to be a good Goodwill day.

Here's what I walked away with...


How cool are those trays?! And most of these things will probably be painted or turned into something else. That zebra print was a curtain panel, but I'll just throw it the fabric collection & make something sweet out of it later. That cute little teacup will be reincarnated as a pin cushion.

And check this out...


Please disregard the messy garage...but check out that chair! How about that velvet farm scene upholstery! Gorgeous right? I kid...it's hideous. I'm pretty sure my Grandma had a couch made with the same material...no offense Grandma. It was a little nerve-wracking for me, investing a whole $25 with absolutely no re-upholstering skills, but little miss Raw Potatoes promised me she would help. It's solid wood & in great shape. For some reason, it reminds me of Germany & I like that. It has a bright future as my new comfy reading chair.
As for the frame, it has a date with a mean can of teal spray paint.
