My Thrift Store Treasures

Last Saturday was amazing! The weather was nice, and it just felt like an antiquing kind of day. I love going to antique shops and browsing, even if I don't buy anything at all. 

I also love going to thrift stores. With my new burst of energy, I decided to visit the new Jimmie Hale Mission thrift store right down the street from my house. 

Little did I know that I'd find several treasures!


A candle stick for $1.00. These two dishes that I'll use for jewelry at $0.79 a piece and this wooden decorative piece for $1.99. Not bad, right?


I love the teal dish! 

Then I found these babies at $6.00 a piece! I've been looking for chairs for my kitchen table, ideally white to tie in my modern kitchen with my other rustic pieces in the room like my farm table. 


I immediately headed to Lowe's to buy primer and paint. But when I put them in the kitchen, I couldn't decide if I wanted to paint them or not. They're fiber glass or plastic...not sure? So if I paint them, I need to make sure that I do it right the first time.

Here's a picture of them at the table. 



I love the silver legs of the chairs, which go nicely with our stainless steel appliances. 

What do you think? Paint white or keep? Or am I completely crazy for even liking them? :) The more I look at them, they start to remind me of school chairs.

  2. Thanks! We got all the malware (virus, bad coding, whatever you want to call it) off the site.

    But now I have to redo things like categories, pages, and add pictures. There's a lot of work to do but we had a backup file of everything. So I still have my articles, thank goodness. I want to have it up and running by Sunday (not sure if it's possible).
