How much fun can you have in one day with some spray paint?  Loads!  I got a can of Heirloom White and transformed these yard sale and bargain bin treasures into beauties!  If there is a moral to this story - it is that anything can be saved with a little spray paint.

First - I found this cute wire bird that was bright red at Hobby Lobby.  So much better in Heirloom White.  And I was a very bad blogger and did not take a before!  But I think we can all agree that this looks lovely!  (P.S. That is my fab wire basket I found this weekend behind it - I LOVE it!)

Next up - a couple of $1 frames that went from blah wood to shabby chic beauties!  The bird print I got a couple of weekends ago out and about and the other was hand drawn by my cousin.  My mom gave it to me for my birthday!

Finally - my 50 cent pitcher that I picked up this weekend looks so much better with a good coat of Heirloom White.  Now it looks like an heirloom treasure!  Love it! 

Umm - let's do a little before and after shall we?  Can you say gorgeous?

So those were my fun projects this weekend!  What did you get into?  Done any spray painting recently?  Lemme know!

I wasn't sure if I was going to go out to the sales this weekend. One, it was HOT - like above 86 at 7am and projected to get to over 100 by mid day. Two, it started raining at like 7:30 which made me reconsider the trip even more. But by 9:30 it had cleared up and I was itching to get out. Plus, I had to go to the grocery store anyways. So my plan was to stop at any yard sale I saw between the house and the grocery store. And the plan worked! Check out my finds!

The first stop was one that I had run by the signs for on Friday morning, so I was looking forward to stopping by and checking it out.  I really wish it hadn't rained because they had some pretty frames for a $1 a piece but the mats were ruined and I wasn't up to having to get 11x14 mats to replace them.  But I did find some other fun treasures.

First up, I got this pitcher for just 50 cents.  Yep - it is ugly as sin with those sunflowers.  (My apologies if you love sunflowers!)  But not to worry - that's nothing a little spray paint can't fix!  Want to see the results?  Click over to see my new "Heirloom" Vase!

Next up I found this classic wide low bowl.  Nice white with just a touch of glaze.  For $1 I was sold.  See it in my Living Room Update.

Finally - I found this shabby chic wire basket.  I thought it would be perfect for some decorative grapevine balls I picked up at a yard sale about a month ago.  I love the finish.  And for $4 - it was a keeper!  Check it out in my TV Stand Vignette!

I left there and hit up a couple more.  The last one I stopped at had a beautiful rug that would have been perfect for the guest room - but it had gotten rained on so I didn't want to risk it.  Instead - I picked up this pair of crackled glass votive holders for $3.  I think these are going to look perfect in my bathroom on the vanity!

So what about you?  Find anything fun this weekend?

I am still working on my "blue pillows" from earlier this week.  (I ran out of Stichwitchery so we are currently on hold for a final reveal!)  In the meantime - I thought I would share with you some of the pictures that lead me to my decision for blue pillows.  Both my chair and my couch are a beigey-gold color.  Now I could have gone with several different colors - but I think you will agree after you see these pics that there was only one decision!

Love the fabric on these pillows and I love the drapes.

These were some of my first inspirations for doing blue pillows in a bunch of different patterns.

Blue even looks great with orangey browns! I adore the leaf prints on these pillows!

Love the deep blue in this pillow! Adds such a pop in an otherwise neutral room!

Or blue and yellow! I love how vibrant these pillows are - and they were from Target!

Such a bright and cheery kitchen! Who says blue has to be moody!

Ok - take away the mind blowing ceiling height and the gorgeous drapes and this couch still stands on its own!

So what do you think? Which one is your favorite? Do you have blue accents anywhere in your home?
