Trash Picked Table Facelift

We had bulk trash again this month. 4 times a year it's like Christmas in my neighborhood. Everyone puts to the curb their sad and tired furniture. I however, empty my car and start the slow drive through the streets looking for projects. People are very friendly about this too. Recently I stopped to pick up a chair and the woman came out of the garage asking if I wanted a really beautiful ceramic planter (well duh yes!).

Today was a medium warm day with no humidity. I waited until the shade moved to the front of the house then proceeded with my project. I had to scrape off some wood glue that they had used way too much of. After a little sanding, I was ready to roll!

It's a small table that has a latch that allows you to fold the top down to one side. I am sure there is a name for this, but I honestly have no idea what to call it! I taped the metal latch with Frog Tape and started spraying (Rustoleum) . I am pleased with the outcome. I had all the stuff laying around from previous projects, so technically this cost me $0. :)

This is how I found her, sitting by the curb, lost and lonely

All sprayed up with some temporary decor to keep her company!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the mini project.

Back from a Break

Well, I did it again.  I always get rolling on blogs, then life gets busy and the blog gets pushed back. Honestly, I blame it on Barb! She fell off the wagon which in turn killed my motivation. The good news is, we are back!

I had some career changes in the past few months. I am now checking off my bucket list and being a cocktail waitress at a casino! Glamorous right? I had always wanted to try it. Let's see how long before I die of lung cancer!

I am still part of dog rescue! My latest dog is Baylee. She is a bluetick mix coonhound from Georgia. She is a princess :)

 

 She is up for adoption, so if you are interested, let me know ;)

I am still trash picking! I have a few projects that I will post in the upcoming days! It's amazing how much money you can save with a little sandpaper and spray paint!

Our home reno is moving along. We decided to get new windows in our living room, so all our hard work on trying to make them look nice is out the window (no pun intended). Hopefully we can get them installed within a month.

Ok, this was just a quick peak back into my boring life! ha. Within the next couple of days I will post about my newly decorated ottoman! Less than 5 bucks for the whole thing! :)

Thanks for sticking around!
