Trash to Treasure Adventures: Part I 1/2
 |
| Also found at a garage sale in Kalamazoo MI, this, dare I say "ugly," piece of trash is going to become a glamorous washcloth holder/bathroom shelf. |
 |
| This almost garbage item was rescued from my sisters house and will make a beautiful centerpiece once painted (see below). |
 |
| Gorgeous |
 |
| Hard at work with the pink :) |

| My sister spraypainting TP rolls for VBS castles. |

Trash to Treasure Adventures: Part I
Trash to Treasure
Since recently moving to the great state of Indiana, my husband and I are in the process of buying a house. We are on a tight budget but I will settle for nothing less than fabulous when it comes to my belongings. I am lucky enough to have a sister with an imagination and an eye for design to help me. This summer we will be scouring flea markets, garage sales, and junk stores looking for items we consider a steal that can be repurposed, refurbished, and frankly, made to be better than they ever were to begin with. I hope to document our treasure hunting journey here on my blog to serve as inspiration to others and a reminder to ourselves that with a little imagination and elbow grease, trash really can become treasure.
This little beauty came from a garage sale in Kalamazoo, MI. The lady charged me $3 and when I gave her a 10 dollar bill she gave me back 8 in change. I guess being jipped a dollar is a fit punishment for the crime of not knowing basic math.
