P... Paint!

So, paint can tranform ANYTHING.  As I have discussed before I have a spray paint addiction and will spray anything (fabric, metal, wood, plastic)!  I was having a discussion with my co-workers the other day about painted brick and specifically fireplaces.  My prediction is that this is a gender thing.  Women thought it worked in many instances .... men thought it was a crazy idea!

What do you think?  Painted brick... do or don't?  Until next time.... xoxo

C is for Craiglist!

Since I have not done this in a while, I thought I would peruse Craigslist and share some "Craigslist Finds".  Yes, buying on Craiglist can take time, energy and patience.... but it can be so worth it!  I have shared my Craiglist Farm table with you, best $200 I ever spent!

Check out these cute and cheap finds from Boston's Craigslist! 

 

This farm table is amazing and needs only a little TLC.  $235

Love this School House Desk!  Perfect for kids room or nook somewhere.  

Paint it or leave it as is.   Bargain price is $75. 

Gotta have some vision here, but this could be AMAZING!!!  Since it is flat top it is a perfect bench of coffee table or at foot of bed.  Clean it up and paint it!  Great storage.  Too good to pass up at $50. 

This is a cute set for $125.  Perfect for kids room or country cottage.  

Spray paint it white or some other "beachy" color.

Just a small sampling of the "finds" you can get at your local Craigs List!  Until next time....xoxo
