Thrift Shop Glam
After living on our own for almost 6 years I think I finally have found my style. I have found this wonderful blog that has inspired me. The girl over at Vintage Revival found a name for what my style is :Thrift Shop Glam. I never liked the phrase Shabby Chic. I now want to paint every thing in site! I found some amazing side tables on ksl not long ago and I talked my friend into picking them up for me since they were all the way in Ogden. The 2 side tables were listed for $40. In my mind that was a fantastic price for some real wood side tables. Well long story short I ended up paying $20 for the pair. Killer! So know I need to figure out what color I want to paint them. I have gotten free paint so the choices are either sunshine yellow or apple green. I have also found some other wonderful ideas. Now I just need to remember to take before and after pics so everyone can see my cool projects. I am so excited for this summer of crafts!

I have some paint: red, sea green, turquoise, mustard yellow, bright pink, plum purple, lime green, antique white, and my free quart that is coming is robin egg blue.
ReplyDeleteI just painted my dining room table antique white, and each chair its own color (6 chairs). I've pretty much painted every piece of furniture in my house...i was sick of boring white walls and we are renting and i needed color in my life, dangit!
If you want to use some I would just charge you a couple bucks per piece of furniture you paint (all the paint cost me about $250...whoops, Josh wasn't too happy haha) so let me know.
I need to post pictures, but I havent distressed it yet. I'm kinda scared too, as if I'll distress it wrong!
