Trash To Thrifty Treasure!


I found this little chair in the alley behind my
cottage. It was unwanted and unloved. So ...



I brought it home. Found some left over paint in the
garage and gave it a little love.



Now I think it looks happy and cheerful!
And I did not spend one cent!

Come along and join me as I visit ~

and

Bentley ~ go peek through the back gate and see if there
are any more unwanted chairs in the alley!

Love,
Susan and Bentley

    Loving it! Bentley, don't go in the alley if it is dark. It could be spooky :(

    What a sweet makeover. I love the embellishments you added to the back. Very nice.

    Thank you so much for your kind comment on the loss of our little Baggins recently. It is appreciated more than you could know.
