White-Out!

Right now in my head I'm really thinking and singing the "Wipeout" song, but only my version, replacing it with "White-out"! Yea I'm a strange one...it's been one of those days. One of those days to where Hubs looked at me and said, "In the kindest way I can say it, do you need to get out by yourself for a little bit?"

Did I really have to think about?

Yea buddy, see ya!!!!!!

And that was that, I was gone for 4 hours finding some more treasures. By myself. No kids. It was heaven.

Days prior to today, I have been working on our room. I'm not letting it out of the bag all I have done just yet, but I have been trying to add more white accessories to brighten it up a bit. I used to want everything so dark, so adding white has really been a change for me for anyone who knows me. So here we go...

*WARNING...PICTURE'S GA-LORE*


My flower arrangement I made-taking out the dark flowers and adding in white ones.



My Good will mirror I bought for $4, anyone need a mattress? Their's a clearance on them, or that's what the paper said as I was covering up the mirror part...



In the corner of my room.



Loving the detail on this baby...



Yep, I heart it...



Hobby Lobby sign I got for $6, I liked it brown, buuttt I'm trying to lighten it up around here...so...



I painted it white, and let a little bit of the brown peek out...



My $1 Goodwill wooden candle holder. I didn't take a before pic, one of those spur of the moments, picking up the spray paint can and gettin after it...





Another Goodwill find, $3, I knew I could do something with it...



Cleaning it up with...a baby wipe. Ya know, their good for other uses besides cleaning up butts...I use them for everything...Really, I do...



See there we go...


Sorry for all the pics, but that's what I have been up to this week. Painting alot of white, I used the same ole Country White because I have a big ole thing of it I'm trying to use up and staining it with Dark Walnut. Now I've got to walk around the house and see what else I can paint white...It's taken me over...

I'm linking this up with

Off to watch the Oscars...Have a fab night!

  2. OMWord! I saw a mirror similar to this at Goodwill about a month ago and I passed it up. I, of course, was ill that I passed it up, so I went back and it was gone. I saw the pic and was like, "Where does this girl live? Did she take my mirror?" hahaha We are a couple states away from each other. I love what you did... therefore, making me sad I didn't get it. :)

  3. You've done such a good job of creating beautiful pieces. The mirror is gorgeous. You're right. It has a lot of detail. I like your artistic eye. You see the potential in things that not everyone else would see.
