HIDDEN TREASURES

One man's junk - other man's treasure... So true!
So, these are some of my latest finds.

Rug... It was so dirty... But I figured: $6.99, even if I have to throw it away - not too much of a loss. Only after cleaning and some online research the story came out: handmade Persian wool not starched rug...

DECOUPAGE. SECOND LOOK.

First time I've heard of decoupage was about 18 years ago. And my reaction was:"What? Cutting pictures and gluing them on the furniture? I am sorry, but I did it when I was five and was punished for this." Later I saw some pictures of it and left them unnoticed, some even made me think "ugly!". But then something happened and I wanted to learn how to do it. OMG! If you go a little bit dipper then bottles and cutting board - it is a whole new world.

Give it a second look and you may find a new hobby!

GARAGE SALES FINDS

Ok, this is this time of the year again... Garage sales season... We open our last Sunday. Did not plan to, honestly I did not even know people have garage sales on Sundays. Anyway, Sunday 12:30 (right after breakfast) I had no plans and decided to look through Craigslist. And guess what I see! Gorgeous Chinese wedding set: headboard and two nightstands. That was the love from the first sign! But only on my side, W was not so sure. But, hei! For the price of $100 I can be pretty convincing. So, I shout an email to the seller - wait for half an hour- no reply. Ok, my Love, get ready we r driving! So just before we left I am shouting another one "Hold it!". Imagine my excitement when we arrived to the place and realized the set is there. One concern we had - the headboard is way too small (wrong), not made for the standart bed frame (does not matter, it meant to be mounted on the wall). The people were so nice, they even delivered the headboard for us (it did not fit in our car).
