This Weeks Garaging Finds

Totally estatic doesn't begin to describe how I feel about this weeks trash. Take a look. The little wood ladder on the left was $2. I'm not sure what I've got planned for it yet, but I couldn't resist. The ornate screen in the back was just $5 and sold on craiglist less than 1 hour after it was posted- I'll share how much on Wednesday at The Big Challenge update.
This antique wagon was $10, a new ballerina music box craft was $1 (My 6 year old is in love with it) The metal yellow airplane was $1 and the new dinosaur Robeez were $3 and will make a great resale item on ebay. The set of stacking blocks are Winnie the Pooh and cost just .50 they will go to friend who's doing a Pooh Nursery. Can you see my carved, curved leg table in the background. It is HEAVY- solid wood and cost only $25 (A big thank you to my friend Jamie who called and let me know this one was for sale) I'm planning on painting her up today.
This jewelry box was actually a craigslist purchase for $30- My 12 year old has been asking for one for quite sometime. I'll need to give her a quick little touch up with white, but it is in perfect condition.
This decorator lamp was $10, the frame, which will be used for 11 year old's bling room redo, was $1 and the new lamp shades were .50.
I love this glass lamp that was $5 and again, it's a perfect item for the 11 year old's room. The tierd wire holder was $2 and the wood dumb bells were $1.
These topiaries were $3 each- I will probably spray the pots black and use them on my back patio.
The green frame was $2 and the resin scrolly design was $1.
I really made out with lots of bling for the 11 year olds room. I picked up 3 brand new Ikea chandeliers for $20.00 total. You'll have to wait and see what I do with these. The little table they're sitting on was just $5.
And finally, a pottery barn queen size iron headboard with glass knobs- $10.
If I haven't said it before- I love collecting trash. Each weekend find makes my head swim with ideas for decorating, creating and repurposing. Hope you're weekend was as rewarding. Love, Kelly
