Last week, I worked on three small thrift store items, brought home to “relove”.
A beat up tin rooster, a wire basket, and a metal bulletin board.
Cleaned, scrubbed, spray painted, done!
The tin rooster was missing a wing, and could no longer stand up, but he caught my eye just the same!
A bit of cleaning, glue, and matte black spray paint, was all needed to love this tin rooster, and to find a special spot for him in my kitchen.
He is standing tall again, with that “farmhouse” look perfect for my simple kitchen.
The boring wire basket, just needed to be brighten up, and the metal bulletin board, in almost new condition, just needed to be cleaned.
Two coats of my favorite gold spray paint, Rust-Oleum metallic gold, really transformed the wire basket from dull to bright.
The basket is a great addition to the desk area in my spare bedroom. Perfect to hold extra pillows or throws, or maybe another place to hold my many books.
I love beautiful books, they are one of the joys in my life.
The metal bulletin board caught my eye because of the really sweet scalloped, eyelet trim.
So cute!
Found a spot for the board above my Mom’s old rocking chair, displaying family photos, she would like that!
Displaying photos, another joy for me.
I am all about enjoying photos, using them whenever posssible, framing and placing around my home, or using them in any event or project.
Pleased with all my items, worth the total cost of $5!
Three items, found and loved, by me!
Happy day!
