Good Morning Blogging Friends.
I have been trying to keep the January blues away by doing some small projects around Junk Chic Cottage.
Love my Habitat Restore. I find the best stuff there to re love and the prices are fabulous.
Our Restore is in an old town where unfortunately they are tearing down a lot of old vintage homes to build new homes. So our Habitat has been getting a lot of old salvage from these tear downs. I am always amazed at some of the great old doors, windows, cabinets etc. they have been taking in.
Just wanted to give you a sneak peek at a couple of finds that my Handyman Terry is fixing up for me to reveal to you soon.
 |
| Look at this scrolly chippy bench. That bench fell from heaven and needed to come home with me. I will show you soon where this pretty ended up in Junk Chic Cottage. |
 |
| Her boards are warped and do not fit but no problem for Terry. He has tools and knows how to use them!!!! |
 |
| Just look at her curves and pretty patina. So much personality in this old garden bench. She was screaming make me pretty again and find me a place in your cottage. Yep I can do that!!!! I will show you soon where she landed. |
 |
| Old vintage twin headboard for $10. This is getting re loved too. Working on a few change ups where both of these pieces will find new places in Junk Chic Cottage. Stay tuned. This is how Terry and I felt after we scored these two fabulous pieces for a steal at Restore!!!!!
Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend.

Kris, I loved your reaction to finding your treasures. LOL That bench is wonderful. I can't wait to see what you do with these finds. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like those things will both be in place for your birthday---which is NOT this month. lol Can't wait to see what Mr. Handy-Dandy does with that bench and I know you will make both pieces beautiful. Have a great day, Kris.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that Ikea ad and think it is one of the better ones I have seen in a while. xo Diana
Wow Kris! Love that bench. What a great find. Milena
ReplyDeleteLOL that's what I used to look like when yard saling! I was dangerous behind the wheel, lol. Love that bench, cannot wait to see it refinished and in your lovely cottage.
ReplyDeleteMary
Great pieces! I wish I knew someone handy with tools to remake things!
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful pieces!!!!! I can't wait to see them finished.....love that bench!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

LOL on that clip! Both pieces have wonderful bones. Can't wait to see them after the two of you work your magic!
ReplyDeleteOoh...that bench! Such a find! Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on these wonderful pieces!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Kris!
Kris I cannot stop laughing at that Ikea commercial - I don't watch television so commercials are very entertaining to me - rare - but holy moley that is hilarious! I can see you and Terry know acting just like that, too. Those items are TREASURES oh my word, how extraordinary! I loooooooove that bench!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Have a blessed and wonderful weekend! Hugs! ♥
Oh my goodness I love that curvy sexy garden bench Kris!!! What a find, a score and a darling to grace your home.

You're so lucky to have such a good Restore! I hesitate to go in there anymore because I don't have Israel around to help me carry heavy stuff.

Hi Kris, have fun on your projects and they are just the thing to keep away the winter blues!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.

It looks like you'll be busy this weekend! I can't wait to see the project reveals. I love the Ikea commercial. It makes me giggle! Have a blessed weekend!

I can't wait to see how those turn out! The bench is awesome already but will be even better with a little love. Now what are you doing with the headboard? Chalkboard?
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds...I won't be able to sleep fantasizing about what you are planning for these new beauties. I need to start on a few smaller projects to chase away some winter blues also. I have been feeling a little less motivated recently...I guess I can blame it on rainy days blues. Not something we've been able to say in recent years in Cali. Now it seems we never see the sun. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe bench is treasure.. just need a little restoration..
ReplyDeleteYou find the best things at your ReStore, Kris! That bench would be so pretty indoors or out. And I can't wait to see what you've got in mind for that headboard! Pretty soon we're going to see you and Terry on a commercial!
ReplyDeleteHave fun transforming your newest treasures and Happy Weekend!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know the feeling of fleeing the cash register after you've paid what seems to be a great mistake, then GETTIN' THE HECK OUT OF THERE before they say, "OH, we made a mistake!" teeehhee
ReplyDeleteYOU scored. That bench is perfect for YOU!
Hahahaha! That's too funny, Kris, and I'd be the same way! Love the Restore. We now an additional, about 30 min away. Following them on FB helps see the items so you can do like the Ikea commercial, only in reverse. "Start the car, we gotta get there!" Your pieces are great, and I can't wait to see them in your home styling.
ReplyDeleteWe have two resale shops near us, but they never have anything good. Can't wait to see how your bench turns out. Getting 55 degree temps here today in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the bench! Can't wait to see what you do with the headboard. The ReStore close to me is kinda junky, (as in no cool stuff like you find at yours). Have a good weekend...in the 50's here. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI just know these pieces are going to look amazing after you and Terry work your combined magic - can't wait to see the results!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I know that bench is gonna become something gorgeous! It is definitely you Kris! So glad you found her and she will get a second chance to shine!! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find, your bench. You are so blessed you have a sweetie like Terry to fix it up for you.
ReplyDelete*Smiles*
Hi Kris
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that bench is amazing. I would have grabbed that in a second if I saw it. I bet Terry will make it even more beautiful. Can't wait to see it

deezie
The bench has so much character!
ReplyDeleteKris I just can't wait to see what you are going to do with that great chippy bench. Both of your finds are fabulous! Have a wonderful weekend. xx Jo
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and I do love that commerical. She is so funny.....
ReplyDeleteI can ahrdly wait to see what Terry does to your treasures. I went to ours and there wasn't much there. It's a little far so don't get there very often.
Looking forward to seeing the post about your new treasures looks.
Hugs,
Mary
Such fun and inexpensive finds. They'll both be beautiful when you and Terry are finished with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Kris, I'm finally back up and running with my computer. Lovely finds and I know they will be fantastic fixes for your cottage. I love that Ikea add..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteI adore the bench. What a cutie. I can't wait to see what you do with it and with the headboard. I haven't been to my ReStore in a while. I'll have to make a visit.
ReplyDeleteI love that bench...as cute as can be...now I want one like it to paint a pretty bright white and use on my patio...I'll be looking for one...xo
ReplyDeleteIf I had found that bench Kris, I would be screaming too! Score!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how it will look in your home. Love the headboard too.
hugs
Sissie
Love your finds! Had to laugh at the IKEA commercial...I have felt that way a time or two with some of my finds. Lol. I'm ready for Spring...tired of our halfway Winter. Never know how to dress from day to day. Sigh. Plus I miss the green!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I love that commercial! I love the pieces you found and can't wait to see them all fixed up.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that bench! The commercial is a hoot!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love the commercial.
Great finds, I like how you wrote about the bench. Fun.
Looking forward to part 2! :-)

Wow...that bench is amazing!...and it will look even more gorgeous after Terry works his magic on it!!! And $10 on that headboard?....It was practically free!!! Great finds...how great that the store is in an old town!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what the Dynamic Duo have in store with these pieces. I know they'll be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI just love both of those pieces and cannot wait to see the finished product! You and your hubby have such a magic touch at transforming pieces for your home! Love and hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThe bench is so perfect for you, Kris! Good thing you rescued that lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous week!

Great finds Kris! Love the crustiness on the bench. Can't wait to see what you do with the headboard. Have a great week! Hugs, Ann
ReplyDeleteAwesome finds! Can't wait to see what you do to them and where there homes will be. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Restore nearby, but lately you're making me wish that we did! Of course, it would be helpful if every purchase came with a "Terry"...my husband is handy, but on his schedule, which of course is not alway MY schedule! ;) Lucky lady!!
ReplyDeleteOur nearest Restore goes in cycles. Sometimes great stuff. . .sometimes not. I know that feeling expressed in the video so well when you find something great bargain. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is really nice post works well and easy to configure...thanks for all info.
