So lately I have been seeing a lot of people refurbishing old furniture or things that they have found at thrift stores. So I decided I wanted to try it out. I headed out on Sunday to a flea market and the Good will and ended up finding some good stuff to up cycle.
At the flea market I got the picture frame and the basket that is on the left. At the Goodwill I got the Mason jars, the wine holder, and the place mats.
I was so excited to start up cycling everything!
The first thing I did was the basket I wanted to paint it both gold and white, but one I started to do one color then tape off the other part, the tape wasn't sticking, so I decided to make the whole thing white.

This was the before picture I took. Just a plain old basket that was only $3. It was such a beautiful day outside I wanted to spend the whole day outside painting, but my dogs kept trying to get in the way. I wanted the wire part to be gold and the basket part to be white but it just wasn't going to work out the way I had envisioned in my mind, so ended up spray painting it all white.
I was so excited about how it turned out! I was so proud of myself. I wanted to make roses out of the burlap and put them in place of the bow, but I was having a hard time getting the hang of making them so I'll need to practice more and maybe replace the bow later.
The green frame was in good condition, I just didn't like the color so I spray painted it gold and I thought it looked really good that way. The L and the R I also painted, I just got those at Wal-Mart and painted them a coral like pink and added the burlap bows. The mats I originally wanted to paint but then I decided that they looked good the original way!
All in all, for my first projects I'm pretty proud of myself! And I have already started working on some more this evening! Can't wait to see how they turn out!
