Reorganizing Garage and Van

I started this post about a month ago and realized I never posted it. So we had a beautiful day to work on our garage - now I'm down and out from surgery and i am thankful I have something to post for you....so here you go.

So I definitely have SPRING FEVER I've been going through my house room by room...so stay tuned.  Our garage and my van were no exceptions


5 years ago be turned 1/2 our our garage into my scrapbook space http://followthewebbs.blogspot.com/search/label/Scrapbook%20Room

So we were only left with 1/2 a garage (so you can't really call it a garage anymore since you can't park a car in it) my husband jokes that we can barely parallel our bikes in it. So we are very limited on space. I have no clue how we had this much stuff in there. Sorry I didn't take a before photo of our garage.

Happy Day - Heather

and of course I didn't take a final photo as my camera disk memory ran out (how is that even remotely possible..LOL) - I'll try to do that soon for you. 

Now it's time to clean out my van with all my thrift store finds...I'm so excited for what I have in store for these projects (as soon as we get some more sunshine - which of course isn't today). 

Got to love Washington weather....NOT!

Look at the wonderful stuff I found...so many projects, now just add some warmer weather and let the projects flow....

Shelf Makeover....

I found this "The Land of Nod" shelf at DI for $3.00 can you say SCORE!!!!

 

So I Love "Magic Erasers"....I used these to clean the gunk off the shelf.

 When I bought the shelf it was missing one of the pegs.  So I removed the other two, and filled the holes with "Dry-Dex", the great thing about this stuff is it goes on Pink and turns White when dry.

My favorite tools EVER are "Tomboy Tools", and they are even better because they are PINK and my husband won't touch them!!!  I have my own tools and he seems to always steal them - Not anymore!!!

 

 I picked up these great mason jars with wire hangers at ROSS for $6.99 - SCORE!!!  and I knew exactly what to do with them....

 Since I have yet to purchase one of those wonderful silhouette machines (I keep hoping I will win one or get one donated..hint hint)  So I used my Cricket to make my numbers on black vinyl.

I found these hook at Lowe's for about $6.00 each...but they were the right look and size for this project.   

 Voila', finished...so it cost me $22.00 to re do this shelf.  I'm guessing since it was from The Land of Nod it was originally around $50.00 ( I just looked it up and YEP I was $1.00 off....they are selling it for $49.00 new)...I know I've said this twice now....but SCORE!!!  I love it...hope you do too...
Happy Day - Heather

A Day of Thrifting with Mitchell...

On Friday 3/11/2011 - (my day off), my older son Mitchell and I went thrifting.  We started at 9 am and didn't get home until almost 5 pm.  Our first stop was to pick up a cute unfinished pine hutch that I found on Craigslist - it's going to be my first furniture refinish project - stay tuned!

Then we hit Value Village and a cute little thrift store in Kirkland, then we headed to Bellevue and hit Goowill and another small thrift store, then headed over 520 to Shoreline and went to Desert Industries (which I'm figuring out on other peoples blogs as DI---AHHH Light dawns on marble head).  Then we drove up I-5 to Edmonds and hit the Value Village there, and our last and final spot was Value Village in Everett.

Here are a few photos of the "loot", I think I got carried away, but the deals were too good to pass up.

It was a great day and I got TONS of great buys....Here are my favorite finds....

I've recently taking a lovin' to Owls...I found this cute little guy and had to have him for my bathroom.  I was going to paint him all white, but he is just way to cute "as is".  $5.00.  I know a little on the pricey side but he will look great in my newly redecorated bathroom.

 
This was one of the more expensive pieces I purchased $9.99, but I just had to have it since it matches my newly redecorated bathroom...stay tuned for the reveal this week. 

I have been trying to find one of these for months, and then finally at DI I found one for $5.00.  I can't wait to do this project I found it on Allison's blog House of Hepworths.  Thanks Allison
