Yard Sale Make Overs

Saturday morning found me in Possum Snout at the annual city wide yard sale.  Wanna take a tour of a town called Possum Snout?  Here is my post with pictures.  This wooden tray ($3) and coat/hat rack ($2) were a couple of my finds. 

This tiered basket was $2.

For now, the wooden tray will remain just as it is.  A damp cloth is all it needed.  The wooden hat rack was sanded (by my daughter), then I sprayed it with American Accents Heirloom White. I love when you spot an item and know JUST where it will 'work'.  I knew this would make a great towel 'rod' for the guest/teen daughter's bathroom. 

We hung it a tad higher than you would a regular towel rod.

I also sanded the edges after the paint job.

This bathroom hasn't had a towel rod in years.  I love this one!

My next project for the weekend was the tiered basket.  Months ago, someone (please let me know if you know WHO, so I can link up) shared one similar on her blog.  She was using it in her kitchen for a coffee 'station'.  I knew I wanted one! But the green just wasn't working for me.  So out came another can of spray paint. I was thrilled with the results!

Oops, the sugar dish is hiding behind my favorite coffee cup.  But isn't she pretty!?!?

It was a beautiful Saturday morning for browsing all the yard sales in one place.  I picked up 7 other items that will be making their way into future posts.  One stop netted four items for a grand total of $3!  Plus a 10 cent item you won't believe once it gets dressed up with spray paint.
