So I went to may favorite thrift store and got this...

Needs lots of work...it has 1 broken drawer (the middle one) but I need to take one out and make it a shelf anyway...this beauty cost me $8.88!!  After pics to come soon.

Leave a light on for me...

Great $3 chandelier...too bad my husband is not electricaly inclined :(

Sold

Have a seat...

I got two of these chairs at a garage sale for $5...

A little black paint and some great fabric later...

Great cow print chairs!!!

Then I wanted to try my hand at real reupholstering...

so I got this chair at goodwill (sorry for the dark picture)

UGLY purple suade type fabric...

A little finesse...and VOILA...

A great zebra seat!!!

All of these chairs sold within 3 days!!!

Where it all started

***Disclaimer***
I have no before pictures of these because at this point I was just having fun.  Sorry I know before and afters are alot more fun.

Ok here goes...

My Terrible Terror...

                          

Just kidding...how can anyone not love that face?

This is my 4 year old Austin who is in LOVE with Lightning Mcqueen.  He wanted a Cars room.  A little history...we live in an old, old house with wood paneling in every room (UGLY)!  So we paint over them...after spackling all the groves...what a looong job. 
Anyhoo...we painted Austin's room red (what else for a Lightning Mcqueen fan?).  Only with the faint wood paneling lines and the red paint...it looked like a barn!!!  So we got somes Cars boarder and I made some cute curtins with tan Cars fabric...which broke it up a little.  Then I thought what else can I do? 

So this is what I did!

                      

and this...

                                                   

Fun or What?  His bed was painted blue and he has a yellow tv stand too...which I have no picture of (again sorry).To do this to his existing furniture only cost me $32!!!  After my friend's little girl saw this she wanted one too.

So for her...Tinkerbell (aka Stinkerbell in my house of 4 boys!)
