Welcome to Trashy Tuesday! Sorry we missed each other last week. I am back with plenty of Junque to share. I have everything from true trash to amazing freebies. Be amazed and astounded, and maybe a little jealous……
You know how hard it is to find a free dresser, with all the drawers, and the hardware, and it is cute too? I got an email from a very sweet local reader, asking if I would like this dresser. WOULD I LIKE THE DRESSER??? How soon can I be over???
She also threw in a few very cute little decorative pieces. I didn’t get a chance to photograph them all. Here is a little decorative chair, (no before photo). In a hurry to fill my space at Paris Flea Market, I put one quick coat of CeCe Caldwell’s Traverse City Cherry, sealed with Endurance, and it was ready to go!
I also found a free lamp while cruising the streets near my husband’s office. Ummm, I forgot to take the before pic here too. It was your basic brass lamp. Two shades of CeCe Caldwell’s Vintage White, one coat Endurance. DONE! I had the lamp shade I had purchased from a garage sale. It sold at PFM after only being there for about 5 minutes!
Can you spare a chair? Apparently I can. I love my little red office chair from Ikea, but I don’t love the hard plastic. I am ready for a grown up, important person, office chair. I know it is in sad, but when I get around to it, a new upholstery job and it will be fab. I checked, the chair came cootie free.
Can you believe this? Me neither. I found this last Friday night when I was supposed to be getting our take out of Burritos. Just a detour to see if there was anything good in a nearby dumpster. Believe it or not. I waded in. There was nothing. NOTHING!
But….next to it was a large box of rotting pumpkins and on the top was this box of ornaments. What, this is not what you do on Friday Night?
Isn’t this is a cute little frame? It was actually yanked off of a falling apart bathroom cabinet. I will lose the Palm Tree, but it has potential.
Trash talking taking it out of you? Have a seat. Actually, don’t have a seat. The bottom of the seat is cracked, but the stool is good. Easy to cut a new one, cute fabric, it will be good as new. Then you can have a seat. I won’t crack any more bad jokes.
That wraps it up for this week. Hope you have a totally trashy week full of junque!
oh that dresser! can’t wait to see what you do!
Great finds….
Love the dresser! Yes, that frame is very interesting too..a mirror in place of the palm tree?
Ohhh, what a cute dresser! Can’t wait to see the after!!
i found that same child’s stool while curb shopping. it still has the paper label on it that says something like ‘up i’m a chair, down i’m a stool.’ So, the moveable piece is either the back of the chair, or when you have the piece down, it’s the first step of a two step stool for little people. 🙂 Very cute !
Holy cow I am totally jealous!
Awesome finds as always. The lamp is gorgeous and the dresser and frame were awesome freebies!!
Nothing like a cootie free chair and a dumpster dive on the way to get a burrito dinner! That dresser looks like the one I grew up with!
