Thrifting Trash to Treasures

I have been working on a few thrift find makeovers lately....
Surely you remember that red candlestick that needed no work at all.  But how about those birds?  They got a coat of light blue paint and a white wash.  Oh so much better.  They are even paired with a few of those eggs off the egg wreath.  I also made this picture...
Check out the before...
Ugh!  I got the two smaller ones for 25 cents each and just used the picture on the inside.  The larger one was 75 cents -- gorgeous frame, ugly picture.  The frame was saved with some white paint.  I just covered the cardboard with white fabric then white burlap.  Glued on the little pictures and it is oh so much better!
Wanna see even more?  Come back and see me Thursday when all of this falls into place!

Thanks Angie for your comment on my white to black buffet transformation.

im still in love with that red candle stick. dont you wonder what made someone give that away?

Yes, so much better. That larger frame is really neat; I hope to find one/some like it. And what a price...good deal!
