A few days ago Emma Claire and I headed to Goodwill in search of a few things. I thought it would be fun to share our finds!
I have been looking for a fun frame to turn into a chalkboard for our master bedroom and I found the perfect one!
$1.96. I love the details in the corners. I'm planning to paint it white and distress it a little bit.
I'm always looking for milk glass and I love this vase!
Only two bucks!
How fun are these trays?! I think they were all under a dollar!
I plan on painting the inside with chalkboard paint and turning them into chalkboards. How cute will they be?! I think one will be in the kitchen, one in the guest room and maybe one in our master bath! They also had some round ones that I was so tempted to get, but I'm going to wait and see where I want them in the new house.
I also snagged a really neat looking $3 chair. Saying it needs some help is an understatement. Here's a little peek at what I've been working with.
So cute right? HA! NOT! I just THOUGHT this fabric was horrible.
Turns out there were FOUR layers of gross fabric underneath the initial 1970's nightmare fabric!
I also discovered that the chair is 82 years old! It's a chair from the very early Bassett furniture company, made in the early 1930's. Also, I didn't know that Bassett furniture was created in Northern Virginia!
I plan on using the chair at my desk! It's a great, sturdy, old chair and I think it will be just perfect! Can't wait to finish it and share!
You just never know what you will find at Goodwill!

Love goodwill!!!
My Goodwill is loaded with crap. (Yep. I said it.) I have been looking and looking for a frame like that. Glad YOU found one. :) $1.96...for real?
And an antique chair, no matter how much "love" it needs for $3? So awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product.
Love those silver platters! Our Goodwill is a dud. I never find anything good at it :(
