Recycle, Reuse....


I LOVE the thrift stores... who says thrifting isn't cool?
I wanted to give my studio a face lift... and being the practical girl I am... I decided to search high and low for unique things at the second hand stores around town. Oh boy, what fun! I bought every 50cent pearl necklace I could find to dress up my wire bust form... a couple new tables I can paint, a new metal desk, which you can see I decoupaged with the old pride and prejudice pages, and a couple new chairs that look sooooo girlie. I just had to have them! Nothing a little upholstery cleaner can't fix. I also cut off some old tree branches and made a tree centerpiece... I love how it turned out! Now I just need to paint some walls and put up some curtains and shelves! Whew..... I'll keep you posted, this may take a while especially with this cold I am fighting! Jere and I keep swapping this nasty thing back and forth! EEERRRRRGGG!
