A Good Day Junkin!

No transformation today. Nothing creative on my part. Just super excited about a few good finds hubby and I came across today. You see, I leave for First Monday in Canton tomorrow and he goes back to work so we had to get in a good day of scavenging while we can.....although truth be told I will doing a little hunting on my own a little at Canton this weekend too! haha

So, we started the day at a storage building auction.....ever seen "Storage Wars" on tv?? Well that's basically what we went to and it was FUN!! We didn't end up buying anything there but we did hit a couple antique stores later and my favorite consignment shop. Where I found.......

THIS GORGEOUS SHABBY HAND PAINTED GREEN AND GOLD ITALIAN TABLE!!

Please note..my pictures do NOT do these pieces justice :(


LOVE the checkerboard/lattice  pattern on the top!


the beautiful carved legs....the side detailing....
(and of course D had to see what I brought in......he takes his job of inspector very seriously!)


the beautiful scalloped edging.....


And then I found THESE!


Beautiful old hand painted nesting tables.....they're not really as minty green as they appear in this pic....the patina is wonderful!



I also found these great HUGE pillows for a steal! $2 each!! And there were five of them....that means I now have cushions for all of my wicker furniture in the sunroom for the teeny weeny price of $10!! Can I get a whoop whoop??!!!


These pillows are huge and in excelllent condition. The ruffle goes all the way around. I just tucked it under on the sides and back so it would look right as a seat cusion. The covers have zippers so they can be removed and washed which is really important with kiddos and kitty. :)

I may end up recovering them in the future as hubby is not loving the large rose print...but maybe not! A few neutral throw pillows might tone it down just enough. But I have been dieing to try printing  one of Graphics Fairy's gorgeous images onto fabric so I might do that and make a pillow .....we'll see. Right now I'm just loving the way my sunroom is finally coming together.....and at an awesome price!!

FINAL MAKEOVER REVEAL COMING SOON!!

    Gail, I nearly DID die right there on the spot! They were in the same store but in different rooms. I spied the larger table and immediately started taking the accessories off of it...hubby just smiled and said "looks like I need to go pull the truck up"...love that man. Then a few minutes later I found the nesting tables and I literally started dancing!! haha was so excited!!

    Curtains, Glad you kinda like my tables just a little bit...hahaha! And yes, the pillows are staying! They are absolutely perfect in this room. It was meant to be!!
