The light fixture that hangs over this table, I salvaged from a garbage heap, and spray-painted black. I also spray painted this table and chairs. (Also rescued from a garbage heap)
This cute lil basket that my Berry special friend gave me was a nice forest green color. I thought spray-painting it black would make it tie in better with my decor. Love it now!!!
Another light fixture pulled from a garbage pile...wouldn't know it after a bit of spray paint.
Finally I'm getting away from the Black Spray Paint Box...because I truly do love color. Here are a set of chairs that I spray-painted and reupholstered. The lamp was spray-painted as well...these items were not from a garbage heap! I rescued these lovelies from my local thrift store.
Here's the before...eeek!
Okay here's some color! I got this cute desk at a yard sale. She's just like the one I had growing up. How could I resist. She was even a delightful shade of yellow-white. Nothing that a can of sea-blue spray paint can't fix, right. I love how it turned out!
Lastly this sad little table that was pulled from...I'll let you figure that one out.
Doesn't he look happier in his bright new coat?!?

Oh I'm so glad that you joined the party and that you tried a new color. You have just inspired me Thank you! Thank you! I have a bedroom set very similar to your desk. It was mine as a girl and then my daughter used it. I was debating about giving it away, but after seeing it painted such a fun color, the debate is over. And the spray paint is coming out---well it's actually always out, but you know what I mean.
I like your black painted projects too. I want to go junkin' with you because you find some really great treasures!
I just love your painting and redoing of your furniture! I especially love where so much of it came from! I am jealous! :o) Dumpster Divers Unite!

All of your rescued items are beautiful. Wish I could find some things like that to rescue from the garbage. I'll be back to read some more soon. Jacke
Ooohhh...what apretty color you have found. I love the desk and side table. I guess garbage day will be my new favorite day. I love all your trash to treasures.
Look how nice your kitchen is! I haven't seen it since the remodel and it's look fantastic. The basket looks so much better black! Your so funny...Berry special friend! Yeah...that's me. You are mine too!

Okay.. I want to find YOUR trash heap! You have found some great items!!!
I consider SLC home too! Most of my family is there.. and I miss it terribly! And.. I spent at least 3 weekends every summer at Bear Lake growing up. My best friends family has a cabin there~
Wow! I love what you did with all your finds. Yours really is a Trash to Treasure story.
Blessings, Virginia
WOW you have a lot of great treasures that you just happened upon. They look great! How does the black table and chairs hold up? I have been wanting to paint my kitchen set for a long time, but too chicken.
I love junk finds. You did so well with your treasures!!!
Glad you joined the party train..love the color! Glad to have discovered your blog today...I see we both like to thrift and save things from being thrown away. very cool. cherry
Fabulous job on all the items. I love your chandeliers.
I love all your projects. I too love to go to thrift stores and garage sales and redo stuff!
The shade of blue is pretty! It looks great on your desk and table.

So many lovely paint jobs! I really like your "They're priceless!" vinyl--I may borrow that one!

OK that desk is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I love it!
Girl, I want to know where in the heck you live because you've done some good shopping in the trash piles! I cannot believe what you have been lucky enough to find and creative enough to transform! All the projects look awesome. I am excited that I have found your blog - I'm going to bookmark it. Check mine out and I think you'll see we have some decorating tastes that are very similar.
Did you reupholstered those chairs yourself? If so I would love a "how to" some day on your blog as I am sure others would too. You did a WONDERFUL job. Love the fabric you chose and the white is great.
I love the chairs and the desk! Thrifting is the way to go - it all looks so great!

You are the Decor Diva! I love your pictures, and your kitchen is so nice! I really like how the table area turned out. Beautiful!
I really love the blue on the desk and table!
I love all your projects. The chairs looks amazing, and those chandeliers... I can't believe someone was throwing them out. You totally transformed those. I am always on the look out for those items that people throw away that I can transform. They don't know what treasures they have.
Wow! I love all of your projects. The colors are amazing, and I can no believe you got that chandelier from the trash! But lovely none the less!! Great job!
Okay, you rock and I think you need to be crowned Queen of the great find! Your light fixtures are amazing!
I love everything...especially the aqua though:) You are very creative and talented, too, everything came out beautifully :)

I found you on Joy's Paint party. I just wanted to say that I just repainted that same vanity/desk. I got it at a yard sale for $10. Same ugly yellow white color. It is now a fun sagy green and sits in our master bedroom! Gotta love some paint!
