Krylon Spray Paint Rocks…
I have never tried Krylon Spray Paint before and I have to say…it works great! I had two thrift store chairs I picked up for $5.00 and I love the design but not the cushions or the dark wood and knew I didn’t want to brush paint them. So, I picked up some Krylon Spray Paint in Classic Gray Gloss and now they look AWESOME!!!

I love a bargain but more than that I love FREE!! One Saturday a month or so ago Mr. C and I headed to the dump to throw away some trash. While there I saw an ugly, stinky and dirty chair. So naturally I threw it in the back of my car and took it home. Of course I had to put up with Mr. C looking at me the whole way home like I was crazy. But I knew I could Febreze it, clean it, paint it and throw some fabulous fabric on it and come up with something great. And I was right!!
The dumpster dive find before the Fab-O makeover
Yuck!!
Sprayed with black satin finish spray paint
I covered the seat with an old pillow case
Cut off the excess
I then stapled the pillowcase to the seat
I chose Amy Butler Chrysanthemum in Blue as my fabric
And here it is…all clean and purty!!
The Breakdown:
Chair- FREE
Fabric- 3.00
Paint- 2.00
Total- 5.00

Goodwill, Great Deal…
I absolutely LOVE going to Goodwill. I can always find a great bargain. I have been looking for an oversized mirror to re-do and I finally found one!!! And for only $6.99. I actually spent $13.00 in total at Goodwill and have posted the pics below. I LOVE JUNKIN!!! Enjoy!!
A little dusty, but nothing a little elbow grease won’t cure.
A cute basket just in time for Valentine’s Day.
A small brass candelabra…now to find candles to fit it.
I love these plates. I am trying to collect different ones to hang on the wall in my dining room.
Okay…the art work on this tray is awful…but it’s nothing a little spray paint wont fix!!
Hope you all had a great weekend and found some great deals!!!
