sit back and remember
Chairs from old schools and cafeterias can be great pieces for your kitchen or sitting room! They are light weight and colorful! Some of them, like the one above, even have a bowl seat so that they are actually quite comfortable! A great place to sit back and think about your own childhood.

old and new
A great example of mixing old with new! The three drawer piece was found at a flea market, and what a great use of an old lard tin! a perfect side table for a small space. And of course vintage coke crates create fabulous shelving all the while the color of the lamp tin and new poster bring a pop of life and coordination! Great picking and decorating! Keep on treasure hunting ya'll!
a little help
Sometimes when taking on a big project it is best to have a helper. The best helper and cutest dog in the world is shown above. His name is Lion.

Gumball machine
I picked up this gumball machine at a garage sale! I just had to have it because it reminds me of my Dad. My dad has an old blue gumball machine, one of the few things he has had since he was a child. It resides in his garage adding a sense of childhood to the place where so much hard work occurs.

Paint
Paint can go a long way! I bought this piece in its original worn 70's condition at a garage sale for 5 dollars. It was shiny wood and very outdated. It appealed to me because it looked like it could be useful! It could serve as an end table, as a bench and of course as storage. After a sand down and some paint instantly it was ready for a home in the year 2013! This piece was recently sold by Curio's Cabinet, located in the Foothills flea market in Fort Collins Colorado. Find Curio's Cabinet on Facebook!
