thrifty treasures Monday...

19 July 2009

We had kind of a crazy weekend, so I didn't intentionally head out to yard sales, but stopped at a few on the way home from the park on Friday. I found:

this lovely framed doily with dusty mauve and country blue accents for $1. Can't resist chunky frames like this:
I found a day bed frame with a trundle mattress frame underneath for $50. We're going to get rid of the bunkbeds in my girls' room~yay!! but we'll get to that after we get the laundry room finished.

A few more shelves to show you:

Here are the numbered pots on a shelf with a frame,

And here is another shelf with the PB dishes with an empty black frame (both from yard sales) behind them.

I'll keep showing you as it comes together...happy Monday!

I'm sharing my thrifty treasures over at Rhoda's today:

  1. Awesome deals. You really scored on the daybed and trundle. We need one of those bad...4 kids in 2 little rooms...not good. Can't wait to see the big laundry room reveal. It is looking gorgeous!

  10. I want you to know that as my crazy-busy weekend (a 12 yo boy slumber party, family from out of town AND a visit to the lake!) had me speeding by the insane number of yard sales I was forced to pass this weekend - I had nothing but guilt just KNOWING you were going to rub my nose in it come Monday morning ;)

    I covet that daybed w/trundle so bad I can taste it.

    Glad you got some great deals. I can live vicariously through you.

  15. Love the daybed! A good daybed with a trundle will cost you WAY more than $50, so you hit the jackpot. I love how you arranged the empty frame with the mug and plate. :)

  16. Cute stuff Melissa! That blue & mauve looks like something still in my mom's house, ha-ha. So glad you saw the possibilities.

    I'm loving your shelves, it's looking so good.

  19. I always seem to find great stuff when I'm not actually out yardsaling! I LOVE that bed. But I'm pretty sure we are going to have to end up going with bunkbeds when Morgan is old enough.

    Blake wants a loft bed in his room, with a futon underneath,

  20. Love the way your laundry room is shaping up! A polka dot bow would be sweet on that cup! :) Cant wait to see the finished project!

    As for what to do with the left over dangles from your tins you could make a lamp shade with them like those silver disk ones at Target. Just a thought.
