I found some cool things. Sorry about the quality of these pictures, I simply have to get a better camera! And learn to use it--it could be that it is not the camera I have, but operator problems. But I hope you can get the idea.
This is an old school desk. It was probably originally an oak color, but not one speck of stain or varnish remains. I can make this pretty! Only $5.00!
Can you see how dirty these are?? Must have been in somebody's garage, they look like the backs have been grasped with greasy hands. And don't you just love the double cushion effect?? But they are very sturdy, and I only paid two dollars each, so well worth it.
I paid a dollar for the little, old step stool. It is rickety, but I can repair it. Do you know what that is sitting on the stool? I will post better pics of it later, but it is the precursor to the Thermos bottle--it is metal, with a bake lite screw on lid, and a small top that comes off to allow one to drink from the jug. Inside, is a glass jar, like a Mason jar. I have another one that is very similar but is yellow. Only three dollars for this one, and I love it. It will make a pretty vignette, with a vintage picnic basket, and tablecloth, don't you think?
I really have to stop spending so much time looking for things to transform, and get my backside busy transforming the things I already have. I hope to have a project finished to post within the next couple of days. I would finish it now, but there is a yard sale in town today----
