Upcycled Garage Sale Find
A few weeks ago our subdivision held its annual garage sale. Since we didn't have anything to sell, my mother-in-law I drove around and hit a few to see what we could find. My favorite find was this vase with a ProFlowers tag on it.
I loved the "bubbled" look but not the color. For 50 cents I figured it worth buying and upcycling it into something more my style. I got out my white spray paint and my new spray paint station (an old box from the garage) and gave it a few coats.
I love how it now looks like a vintage hobnail vase!
I picked up some marked down flowers from the grocery store (I spent under $5.00 for a dozen beautiful red roses! Crazy right?) as well as a patriotic placemat and it sits so prettily on the dining room table for the upcoming July 4th holiday!
Yes! Definitely more my style and at hardly any cost to me at all! How about you? Have you upcycled a garage sale find lately?

Hi Kathe, I liked your thrift store vase in the pretty green color but I like it even more in a fresh white - very pretty! Caught my eye at the Thursday Favorite Things Party.
ReplyDeleteI'd love milk glassware of my own. This might be the solution for me :D thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to spray paint it! It definitely looks vintage. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathe, wow I love how you transformed that vase to look so pretty painted white! It looks nice with the flowers and the patriotic napkin! Yes summer is so nice here and had a lovely vacation to start it off in a nice way. I hope you are having a lovely summer and thanks for your lovely visit! Have a lovely start to the new week.

Great idea - at first glance I was thinking milk glass. I'm thinking you could spray it gold for the holidays.
