Today I'm going for the gusto!! I mean the triple post! Please visit these lovely ladies blogs for so much creativity your head will spin! Susan, Sally, Rhoda
These lovely plates were found while on vacation recently in North Carolina. They were in a backroom of 2nds and close-outs! They fit my kitchen/dining area with the colors and style and the best thing they were mega reduced! Each plate was only $2.00 and the rack was $2.00 for a grand total of $6.00 !
The blackberry plate has very blue- berries and I love the little green polka dots!
I have been looking for a wreath project! I found this one in a magazine and on some other talented bloggers sites and thought I would give it a go! All supplies were bought at the dollar tree for a grand total of $5.00! You wrap the ribbon around the wreath and add a little glue to keep it in place.
All dollar tree supplies!
Get out the handy glue gun and go to town! Place the shells in various directions and layer to give more dimension!
TA-Da! I added blue ribbon for a little more interest and it will hang in my blue bathroom!!
I have been looking for a wooden office chair and of course I wanted it cheap! This one fit the bill and with a little bit of work....by my talented hubby. The chair only cost $10.00 !
A coat of primer!
Two coats of Cottage White paint by Behr, new casters and paint. Grand total of $20.00!
Now here's the Pottery Barn version. There's is $299.00 before shipping, taxes and cushions!
And here's my $20.00 chair with an inexpensive cushion from IKEA for $10 and a pillow I already owned!
Another view, thanks for coming by. Cindy

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I cannot believe you got those plates for $2 a piece. They are so pretty and I love the dots too. An that wreath looks like it was done professionally. And of course, I like the wooden office chair....Christine
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath! The starfish is great! The chair turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteCindy your chair is fabulous girl!! It turned out great. Must be the night for shell wreaths. Your's is the second one I've seen. I'm going to have to put one together for my daughter. She would love it... hugs ~lynne~

ReplyDeleteGlenda
Great wreath ... I'm inspired to do one myself. But the best is the chair ... wow!! What a great transformation! Now I want to go get one! Thanks for sharing ... and please do visit some time.
ReplyDeleteYou did go for the "gusto" and you won Cindy
ReplyDeleteThe plates and the holder was an unbelievable deal
The wreath was so very pretty....I really liked that very much
but
my heart stopped when I saw the chair.....I have the huge old wooden desk that the chair probably went with....my FIL GAVE US THE DESK and I love it more than his son does....we almost didn't get it through our front door let alone in the office....they had the beautiful wooden captain office chair but sent it off to Goodwill....I liked to have died of a heart attack....
this desk is wider than a twin bed and may be a 3/4 but not that long....I love it....it has the little wooden boards you pull out to write on......love it.....You did a wonderful job with the chair.......

ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I love your plates! What wonderful finds! And your wreath is sooo cute! I'm heading on over to Dollar Treee! Love the chair! Your hubby is a talented guy! have a great week!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, the polka dot plates are beautiful and a great buy too! Don't you just love it when you find just the right thing and it's a bargain too! The chair makeover is fabulous! It was meant to be white. Please repost when you find/make that perfect cushion. The wreath is just beautiful. I am a seashell collector. I have a huge glass canister filled with shells from every vacation we've taken, and friends and family bring me shells to add to my jar whenever they go on vacation. Have a great week! Hugs, Loretta
ReplyDeleteCindy, Love the plates - especially the polks dots! The wreath is too cute!! and the chair - wow!! You are really creative, girl! Linda
ReplyDeleteYes Cindy, we know you are a little backwards....LOL !
ReplyDeleteI love that chair - looks like a pottery barn for $ 399.00- fab job - wasn't it soooo easy ?
That wreath is the cutest I have seen in blogland so far - the ribbon make it - great choice.
The plates and rack was a steal and so so rich looking !

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThose plates are too cute. What a deal! I love the way the seashell wreath turned out. Very good idea. And the chair looks fab! I am need of an office chair too. You've been a very busy bee!
Thanks for sharing,
Traci
I do like those plates! Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteThe shell wreath is gorgeous! I can't believe you only spent $5.00 making it. If you bought it finished at one of the shops on Cape Cod, you'd easily spend over $50.00 for it.
ReplyDeleteThe chair was a great find and looks terrific painted.
Jane
i love all your things..the wreath is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love your treasures! Those plates a wonderful -- your wreath would match my upcoming tablescape for this coming Thursday and great chair -- I'm going to tackle painting two items from my kitchen hopefully this coming weekend - I'm so inspired by seeing what others are doing! Aren't you?
ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely, and I've got to have a shell wreath just like that for my blue bathroom. I love it! Thanks for the inspiration, and Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, love all your pictures. The plates and shell wreath are just gorgeous! Happy Blue Monday.

ReplyDeleteWow, very nice. Those plates are gorgeous. I love the chair! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Cindy! You have a whole pack of treasures in one! Love the plates and the chair, and that wreath is so clever. I have that same DT blue check ribbon! And I can't believe the prices you found on things. Great deals!
ReplyDeleteLove to you today and always...
XO,

Morning, Cindy! Oh, what gorgeous plates and the holder! $6? What a deal! Your wreath is just beautiful! Love how you put all the shells on it to make it full and the big star fish just sets it off!
ReplyDeleteThe chair! It looks great! I have a similar one with arms that I use at my sewing desk! These are oak, you know, very sturdy!
Thanks for popping in this morning.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I adore the little fruit plate. They would fit in well at my place.
ReplyDeleteThe finished wreath is beautiful!

I love teasing you. Sorry! ;}
Great, great post! I'm off to the Dollar Tree store!

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour view is wonderful and so is the office chair. It turned out better than great!!! I love the shell wreath too. I may just have to run over to Dollar Tree & buy me some supplies to make one.
Hello Dearheart...
ReplyDeleteSheeshh...I've been slackin'...haven't I??? So sorry Girlfriend that I missed this post! Well...better late than never, right? Hehe!
Ohhhhh...Cindy, I just love your new plates! Girl, if I had seen them, I would have definitely bought them...they are so me! I just love them and you got such a great deal on them too! I bet they look beautiful in your kitchen! I don't know why but I have always gravitated toward anything and everything berries...especially blackberries and raspberries!!!
Ohhh myyyy goodness...I love your pretty shell wreath!!! Girl, you did great!!! It turned out so pretty and I love the pretty little blue polka dot ribbon running through it!!! I'd love to make one! Bet it looks pretty in your blue bath!!! Darlin'...you're soooo talented!!! We sure would have lots of fun together, wouldn't we? I just love doing crafts like that! We have so many things in common...can't believe that you live clear off in Wisconsin! wink!
Love your old oak chair too! You did a great job painting it! I have one that looks almost like yours...I found it for a couple of bucks I think! But I just left it in the oak finish...it's downstairs at the computer desk! It weighs a ton...they just don't make chairs like that anymore!
Well Darlin'...I love all of your treasure finds and your shell wreath!!!
Love ya,
Chari
This post is just filled with inspiration! I adore your new plates! The shell wreath is beautiful, and that chair makeover is amazing! You rock! (I hope one of your prizes will be one of those lovely handmade shell wreaths, cause I sure want it)! laurie
ReplyDeleteHey Girlfriend...
ReplyDeleteWas just going through all of the Friday Furniture makeovers and seen you link! Just had to stop by! Ohh yes...I remember your pretty chair...I love how you transformed it...gave it new life! Girl, love the photos of it in front of your big picture window...gorgeous! I love, love, LOVE your fabulous shell wreath too...you did such a great job making it!!!
How are you doing today, Darlin'? Have a fabulous Friday and a great weekend!
Love ya,
Chari
The wreath is sooo cute and such a great idea. Much easier to dust than a dried flower wreath! And I love that chair. It looks exactly like the PB one. I actually have this same chair and I've been toying with painting it white. It think this has swayed me. :) Thanks for linking up and for the inspiration.
