Here we go. In no particular order, crap I have collected int the past two weeks. All of this stuff was either from the ARC (Denver) of the FIRC (Summit County) or a garage sale.
Matt wants to move this door as part of a remodel of this room, etc., and so I had left the 70's globe fixture in place for 6 years. I know lights are cheap, but I kept thinking we were going to rip out this space so what is the point? Anywho, when I found this light for $4, I made the investment. Not perfect --but a heck of a lot better (sorry no before pic).
Moving right along,
I thought this little plate would look cute (and the right scale) to sit next to Matt's kid boots.
Jumbo S/P shakers and white pan. The lid doesn't fit quite right. What do you expect for $1.99?
These little spice jars still had the original spices in them. So gross. Especially since these jars look like they are from the 1960's. One of the spices was MSG (eeww.). I cleaned them out and made little labels. I already have a lot of my spices in these tin jars on the fridge.
I found some copper pots for next to nothing. After selling his snowboard shop in 2000, Matt has had quite a few different (and diverse) careers. One was an antique store manager. I know from those days that copper can be quite pricey. He schooled me on the difference between Turkish and French copper when I got home.
All right . This next trio has me questioning if maybe I am losing it. I thought adding these antique car pictures and little German plaque would give my bathroom an old pub look. I don't know, maybe too much?
And here are some things I bought for my porch makeover.
We had this exact bicentennial candle when I was a kid. It was 50 cents and the hummingbird candle holder was $2. Note the shutters I made from old bi-fold doors. I think they came out cute.
This next little vase prompted Matt to say the porch looked a "little Marrakesh." Too much time at the antique store I think : )
I have decided to go a little patriotic out on the porch (see the reflection of the flag). I am trying to prove I am a good American in case the CIA is keeping a file on me after Chase probably got me on the no fly list.
I got this rocker for $15 and all the little cushions between $1-3.
Once again, ignore the porch as I am starting the paint scraping this afternoon.
Wait, don't leave! There is only one more. Holy moly! Yes, I know I am out of hand. I think of it as more of a hobby, rather than a "condition."
I bought this turtle for $4. I love him. I think he is going to enjoy his new residence near the birds.
Here is a closeup shot of turtle.
YOU HAVE REACHED THE END!
Oh shoot, wait! There is this.
Today is the first day of summer. Yeah!
