What a weekend for treasures!
We had heard that one of our favorite auctioneers was having an auction this past weekend. We had not attended one of his auctions for quite some time and we were anxious to attend. And boy am I glad we did! We got this armoire for
$5.00, a cedar chest for $60.00, desk chair for $5.00, floor lamp for $5.00 and a little white lamp for $2.00. (Please pardon my messy garage. It’s where all the creative things happen.)
By coincidence, my niece has been wanting a TV armoire for her living room. She wanted it a country red to match her decor. So I primed and painted my five dollar purchase, spray painted the hardware black and added bead board wallpaper inside the door panels.
She loves it and as soon as we deliver and place it in her living room, I’ll show you a picture of it in it’s new home.
More posts to come of the transformation of my other finds.

Those are some amazing deals! I can't believe how cheap the armoire and desk chair were. They're both really pretty pieces!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! I am sooooooo jealous! $5.00, are you serious! That's one of the best deals I have ever seen!

Great deals; I do so love auctions. As a child , we went often up in Vt--My Dad was always buying tools and my mom was buying antiques. I love that desk chair--way too cooool.
ReplyDeleteI love it! And the color is great! Adding you to my Google Reader!
