hit the motherload

So I had a GREAT day at the thrift store last week, I found a TON of awesome finds. I'm VERY excited to start painting them. A few I'm still undecided on what colors to paint. I'm starting one at a time, LOL.

I'm pretty sure this is a bread box, I haven't decided actually what I'm doing with it, but I think i'm going to make it into a memory box for my daughter. $2.99 :O)

I got this lonely end table for $4.99.

[sorry such a bad picture, wasn't paying attention when I took it, obviously]

I found these 3 corkboards each for $1.99 and the frame for $2.99

I'm going to make them all into magnet boards, maybe chalkboards too.

I found this REALLY nice solid wood mirror for $3.99.

this AWESOME bookcase for $2.99. SOLID wood!! I NEED this for my daughter's room, I've already started painting it.

This cute white chair for $2.99, I'm going to paint it red I believe and use as a prop.

check back soon for the AFTERS!! I'm going to be busy painting for the next few weeks, hehe.

I got this changing table at a local rummage sale last month for $10. It's in GREAT shape and very sturdy. I bought it for my cousin who is having a little baby in May. I didn't get a chance to paint it white, to match the crib, before they stole it from me. I'm hoping I can go and visit and paint it for them :O)

what to paint, what to paint?

So I found this ADORABLE little table and stool at Goodwill for $1.99, YES you heard me right only $1.99. I COULDN'T pass it up! The design on it is cute with the little rainforest theme, but it's not my daughter and doesn't fit into any rooms we have. So this is my new project. I'm not really sure quite yet what I want to do to it, I'm thinking chalkboard paint. Well see...check back soon for the revamp.

who doesn't like brown with pink polka dots?

So I had been looking for something to put all my daughters clothes in, because I just had those rubbermaid drawer containers and I was getting sick of those, as she gets bigger so do her clothes, and those just weren't cutting it anymore. So I looked at Craigslist, just for the heck of it and I stumbled across this entertainment center-in the FREE section-I couldn't pass it up! So I got my brother and cousin to do the heavy lifting. My best friend came over and helped me, took about 8 hours of sanding and painting and to finish it. I took off the UGLY handles that were on it before and put on knobs I got at home depot. I also got a closet rod to hang in the center part with the doors.

Entertainment Center-FREE

18 knobs- $.97 ea.=$17.46 total

Closet Rod-$6.97

Paint-$19.85 [5 different colors]

total=$44.28

welcome to CC's Centsational Crap

Welcome! I wanted to start a blog with my redos, fun finds, random things and helpful hints. I am FAR from a crafty person, most of the time I get inspired by other people and go from there. I have a beautiful little girl, I work and go to school full-time, and I'm a single mom. So this isn't my first thing on my list, but I like doing it so of course I can make an extra 5 mins for it.
