Thrift Shop Thursday #5

April 23, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I cannot believe this is week 5 in the Thrift Shop Series.  Time is moving much too quickly!  This week I am sharing a few old things and something new to me.

Thrift Shop Thursday #1

March 26, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I have a bit of an obsession with thrift stores.  When I say thrift stores, that is kind of a broad statement.  I will hunt for great deals at thrift stores, consignment shops, Goodwill, yard/garage sales and even roadside rescues… in other words, someone else’s trash.  So I thought it would be fun to start a new series on the blog where I share my favorite finds of the week.  So this will be week 1 of

Goodwill Goods

On my last trip to Goodwill, ( o.k. I admit it, I go to Goodwill about 3 times a week. This is how my mind works…I work out at a Pilates Studio then I treat myself to a Goodwill trip, sometimes I choose a vintage shop but right now I am obsessing over Goodwill and the new store right down the road has not even opened yet) anyway as I was saying, I found a few more white pieces to complete my shelves in the Dining Room that you can see  here.

I really like the look of the white dishes on the shelving in both my kitchen and dining room.  I found this ironstone platter (I really don’t know much about ironstone but I like my platter and I LOVE the Goodwill price.)

Goodwill Credenza (part 2)

(The saga continues…)

How to Revamp Goodwill Finds into Family Treasures

I finished my Goodwill Credenza a couple of weeks ago and it is still sitting in my garage.  I am not ready to move it into the sunroom quite yet.

I really like how it turned out. I do not have any decent photos of the piece but once I move it inside I will post updated photos.

Vintage Goodwill Credenza

Once we got it sanded down, I used a mahogany stain on the top.  I did three coats and lightly sanded between each coat.  On the base of the

credenza I used chalk paint.  I mixed up my own chalk paint and I have to say that I loved it.  It went on so smooth and was much cheaper to

make my own and

the paint colors are now unlimited!

I have been working on several projects and haven’t gotten around to finishing any of them yet! We are back from our Easter trip so I am ready to get busy and complete some of these projects.

Here is what I am working on at the moment.

Goodwill Gate leg Table

March 18, 2014 By stylishrevamp 4 Comments

I went to Goodwill a few weeks ago and found this fabulous Gateleg Table.  It needed a bit of work and I had to wait to do the painting in between the snow storms but it is almost finished.  I am so ready for this snow to be gone for good! Once the weather warms up, I will probably do another light sanding on the top and one more coat of stain and possibly a coat of dark wax on the legs.

I think it looks pretty good considering this is how it started out…

Living Room

August 8, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This is what the living room looked like when we went to view the home.  I got this picture from the real estate brochure.

before family room redo

I fell in love with this home but knew that I wanted something that was lighter and brighter.  I wanted it to feel more like a cottage on the water. So this is what I came up with so far.

family room in shades of blue and white

First, we took down the heavy drapes. I replaced them with burlap panels which are very casual.  Then we  painted the walls a light blue. It makes it look like the room extends out to the water.

We found this fireplace surround at the same place that I found the desk which you can find here. I love it. It reminds me of the one in my grandmother’s home.  It took us forever to strip the  seven layers of paint off of it. We also replaced the mirror.

This is a goodwill table that I sprayed white.  The table cost $15. I placed a basket underneath it with all of our blankets for getting cozy during storms and for movie nights.

This room is so light and airy.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

Magazine Holder

Remember this magazine holder/basket that I found at Goodwill….

Well, I got the spray paint out again and painted it white…Surprise, surprise.  It is now in my family room and I think it looks great.

photo-4 copy 19     photo-4 copy 18    Check out my latest Goodwill finds.I  have sanded both pieces and have painted them white.  I know my youngest said I spray everything white or gray…what can I say??? I am going for the easy breezy look. I am going to use the first item in the family room for a magazine holder. The mirror I am going to use here. I am going to the house this weekend and I will show you how everything looks in the room.

Stereo Stand

Check out my fabulous find!  I found this little end table at Goodwill for $15.15. Yes, that’s right.  My boys thought I was crazy when I decided that I just had to have this lovely piece.  I wasn’t even sure where I was going to use it but for $15 I knew I would find the perfect spot. I think it turned out  beautiful and the stereo equipment fits in it perfectly.  We drilled a small hole in the back panel for the cords.  After a quick sanding, I used Rust-Oleum primer and painters touch in semi-gloss white. So for $15.15  (the spray paint I already had on hand) I have a new end table/mini entertainment center.  I will try to find a picture of the entire room so you can see how it turned out
