Gus was a submarine, and Ginger was a blowfish!
Back to business.....here are the photos of my estate sale finds:
I bought this wonderful picture frame. It was gold and dirty and wouldn't match anything in my home, but I loved the detail.
So I cleaned it up and painted it.
I LOVE the detail!
I decided to hang it above my entertainment center (previously a radio cabinet) and hung a vintage sign that I already owned in the center.
I also found this really cool 1950's radio faux telephone.
I didn't do anything to it other then clean it up and hang it on the wall.
and a pretty wine glass that I forgot to take a picture of, all for $2. Using some glass glue, here is what I did with the four pieces:
After adding a couple of small touches, I have it sitting on my dinning room table.
Last but not least:
My oldest daughter loves cats. We found this wooden cat jewelry holder. But it needed to be brought back to life.
I added a fresh coat of black paint.
And here it is, sitting on my daughters dresser, purring with happiness!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
