Garage Sale Find Turned Chic Accent Table

This past weekend we held our annual garage sale at the Purple Palace. Our sale items generally consist of clothes, shoes, random pieces that I finally decide to part with {yes, I tend to be a hoarder with some things} and a few odds and ends my family wants to contribute and sell.

I was thrilled when my aunt brought over an accent table that simply needed a little extra TLC. This item {and a few others} didn’t last long at the garage sale, as I happily carted it in to add to my hoarder’s  stash.

And so begins the makeover for the garage sale accent table!

Flower Pot Update

Good Morning!

Last spring I was all about makeovers and updating my brown patio furniture {yuck!} with a fresh coat of spray paint. {You can see those projects here and here.}

A year {and long snowy-winter} later the furniture still looks like we spray-painted it yesterday. Not a bad problem unless you have a big spray-painting itch like I do. As luck would have it I managed to find something to update…our old flower pots!
