Awesome Goodwill Finds!

So yesterday, the hubs took the three kids out for the day (not sure where, I haven't asked yet) and I got a whole day to myself to do whateva I wanted. 

So what do I do, you ask?  Cleaned the house, vaccummed, washed floors!  Yeap, that's what I did for the first couple of hours.  And then, I went out!

I ended up at Goodwill first.


A Birdhouse!!  I've been looking for one for-ev-er!!
The little door says "CHATEAU".
Isn't it cute?


I popped into the grocery store and found this Orchid.  Isn't she purdy?  I was thinking of popping her in that apothecary glass right behind her.  Do you think she will be ok in there?  I don't to kill her... yet. (cause you know I will)


There they both are on my buffett!  hmmm...  I'm gonna have to play with THAT look!  The scale is really off.

You found some great things Bette and got so many things done! You've got to enjoy having a day like that. I really love birds and birdhouses. I think it is pretty as is but I can see it white as well.

Have a wonderful week.

I would go light since there are so many dark pieces in that space. It will lighten the space up. Heirloom white maybe. You can always add a glaze to it to pick up on the dark pieces.

Love your finds. I have an almost identical birdcage from Goodwill! I left mine natural for now so I'll be curious to see what you end up doing with yours...
Mine is a bit more rustic....

I love that you went to Goodwill in your free alone time!

What about green? Is that a green pillow on your chair I see? That would tie that in together. Although I kind of like it just the way it is!

Have a super day!

Great finds! I'm thinking paint it a super super light green! Maybe wipe it back a little afterwards too to give it a not so perfect and new look?

It's great to have some free time isn't it?! Usually I end up doing housework too! Lol. As for the orchid...I won't say anything about that since I have a bad rep for killing plants. Lol. Have a great day!
