high chair

i bought this high chair a while back and had stained it a dark brown to match my table and chairs. however, it was a really crappy stain job and after a couple of months of my two year old using it, it was looking really gross, so i sanded the stain off and painted it with some leftover orange paint i had lying around!


restaurant style high chair: $5

knick knacks?

i found these cute things at the good ol' d.i.

i'm thinking they're candle stick holders of some kind, but i'm going to use them as knick knacks instead.

silver candlestick holders: 50¢ a piece

teapot

i don't drink tea... but if i did i would totally use this teapot. isn't it cute?

i'm sure i'll be able to find a spot for it somewhere!


teapot: $1

candy dishes

i've been slowly collecting these cute candy dishes from the d.i. for the last couple of months now and am amazed at how often i've been finding them!

aren't they cute? i'm just itching to throw a baby or wedding shower so that i can show them off!


milk glass candy dishes: $1 a piece

ties!

despite being pregnant with my first boy, i really haven't been too excited about shopping for clothes for him, because well, let's face it... boy's clothes just aren't as fun to shop for as girls'.

however, there's nothing cuter than a little boy all dressed up, and i found these children's ties at the good ol' d.i. for $2!

i think they'll look perfect with a mini suit!

child-sized ties: $2 a piece

black beauty

i found this clock yesterday for two bucks (for some reason i have a "thing" for clocks) but alas, i forgot to take a "before" picture. it was pretty ugly, trust me. so my awesome husband spray-painted it black for me and now it's hanging beautifully in my office!

ornate clock: $2

vessel sink

i bought this vessel sink a while back, and it is definitely my favorite thrift store find to date. i found it while we were still living in our townhome, but for $5 i KNEW i couldn't pass it up and figured we could put it in a future house.

once we bought our current house i was so excited to finally be able to put it in a bathroom. the first picture is of how the bathroom looked when we moved in and the rest are "after" pics!

vessel sink: $5
