I had a post on a great yard sale I went to at one of my fave shop owners home.
If you did not see it you can see that post here.
Here are some of my treasures and what I did with them to re love them back into my home decor.
Here is my car loaded with the special finds. The chair with the hole, the chippy weathered stool, cute table and french painted flower sign and a painted vintage sign you cannot see in this picture. |
Terry took the ripped cane off the chair seat. |
He then made a new wood chair piece to fit where the cane was. Yep had the wood and the tools. Love that man! |
Look how perfect the chippy paint is on this beautiful chair. I paid $20 bucks for it with the big hole in it. SCORE! |
These lovely curved detailed arms made my heart beat faster. |
The back of the chair oh la la. Did I tell you I got this chair for $20!!! |
Had some craft batting from when I did my dining room chairs. |
Cut the batting to fit the wood seat. |
Used the same gray check fabric I used on my dining room chair seats. |
Gotta love the a staple gun. |
Easy Peasy new seat for the chair. |
Re loved $20 dollar chair with a new seat. |
Here is the round chippy table all painted and chippy. No work just put in place. Grand total price $24. Wooo Hooo another great bargain. |
Whole new seating area in my dining room for a total of $56. Chair $20, table $24 and the sign $12. |
My love birds that hang above are singing a happy song for the new seating area. |
It gives me an extra chair for dining now too if I need it. |
Here is the new vintage sign I also got at the sale $10. |
I hung it over the window in our bedroom. |
Little chippy stool $5. I did have to add some white to this piece. It was pretty worn and weathered so just a quick touch up with a paint brush. No biggie! |
I think this cute chippy stool looks good with my new potting table I recently got. |
Parties:
WOW
What's It Wednesday
SCORE!! I keep saying I live in the wrong part of the country for sweet things at such wonderful prices. That chair.. oh my! Paired with the table like that... dreamy!

ReplyDeleteWhat great deals! Your chair is fabulous Kris, and the price makes it even more fabulous. Love the sweet check fabric with the chippy white.
ReplyDeleteI love how you purchase and put it to use right away. That chair looks really, really good, and in that corner of the DR. Another grand slam, my friend - the chair, the sign, the stool, the table.
ReplyDeleteYou are so crafty and I love all of your finds. I think my favorite is definitely the chair...and then that sweet little stool. I could fill a house with little stools!! :) Now, I am going to be on the hunt for one of my own!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful treasures. I love that cane chair and the stool. So fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the chair. You did so well at this sale.

SCORE for you, Kris! Looks great! xo
ReplyDeleteKris, you definitely found some fantastic junk! Love it all, especially that sweet little stool! And what a bargain!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Those are some great finds, Kris! Lucky you that Terry could replace the seat and I like how the fabric matches your curtains. Perfectly chippy paint job on the chair as well.

The treasures look lovely with their updated touches! I'm so glad you had the perfect space to showcase these beauties! That chair is gorgeous!!! You guys did an awesome job loving on these pieces!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous! That chair really was a bargain! You did well. :) Julie
ReplyDeleteDON'T YOU JUST LOVE when this happens? One find would make me swoon, but FOUR all at once? You really scored, in a big way, KRIS! And all white! How exciting is that. Looks fantastic. And you last post gave me an idea for my house too. That gorgeous shelf you got, I am thinking I can make a faux mantle for our great room out of an 8 x 8 and rough it up like our ceiling beams, paint it the same color and place it on a wall above which I'd put an oil painting! YAHOOOOO! SCORE!
ReplyDeleteOh isn't this fun?
That chair turned out so cute! I have a handy husband too--always rewiring and doing little wood projects for me. We have to keep these guys around--I even loan mine out to friends that don't have handy husbands--lol I always enjoy seeing your purchases!
ReplyDeleteOh Kris, I'm sitting here thinking that you are the most creative lady ever! I love your decor and each one of your RE_Love projects are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you again~
Hope you have a great day!

Kris every single chippy find is beautiful and perfectly placed. You are a junk magnet! Why to go. Jo
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Great pieces and great prices! I always have to force myself to NOT touch pieces like the table that are already perfect lol. Keep the hubby. That's a great makeover on the chair!
ReplyDeleteKris, you've convinced me to pull out a chair I've been holding for almost two years, almost in the same style as yours, and to finally do something with it. I love your "all white" decor and was just wondering do you use the same shade of paint for all your painted white furniture?
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so nice together. Heck, I could wear that vintage sign as a necklace! Ha ha! Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteKris. PERFECTION!! What great bargains and treasures. You took the words right out of my mouth when you stated a new sitting area in the DR. Love that little stool. I have had my eyes open for one similar. Great Job and Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteYou do NOT waste anytime! I just can't believe how creative, beautiful and quick you take your broken, lost and forgotten items and turn them into gorgeous, usable, functional pieces for your lovely home! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet pieces! I love them all! That chair is fantastic! Such beautiful details and extra wide tushy room! It looks wonderful with its new seat! Great finds and bargains! Enjoy! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteOh, Kris, so many fabulous finds! That chair is awesome. You really know how to re-love an item!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

What a fun grouping of treasures that you have creatively arranged in your beautiful home, as if they have always been there. You Rock! Blessings, Cindy xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, what adorable pieces you got at such unheard of prices...so glad you found things that make you smile.
ReplyDeleteDo you use white s and grays through out your home? I wonder if you have any color added and, if so, what is the color ?
Your home and photos are so delightful.
Only $5 for that chippy stool??? Wow! Great find! I love that you have a whole new seating area with that new chair! So wonderful that Terry already had all the tools and wood too. Love when that happens!
ReplyDeleteLove your seating area all done in your new treasures, Kris....so cute!! and your tiny stool looks perfect with the potting bench. So nice that everything came at such a great price! Don't you just love when that happens?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
