Projects that I'll be working on

I have so many things to work on and keep finding new things. I didn't have time to take pictures of the stuff we just picked up at some estate sales this weekend but I will as asap. I'm planning a big vintage tag sale hopefull in a couple of weeks to get rid of some of the things I'll never get around to.

Yes that's my garage back there full as ever! Thats why we want to have a sale!

Lots of new finds again this weekend!

I love summer! Yard sales galore, free stuff in peoples front yards, estate sales....I could go on and on! I have found so many great things I'm bursting at the seams! No time to even paint but I will find time for that as most of my finds are project pieces.

This is an old Amoco oil display shelf thats pretty rough but I plan to clean it as best as I can then put some clear sealer on it. Its cool rusty metal.

This great old red workbench is in great shape and the top is cool too. There are nails, screws and other implements that have been pounded into the top, it adds to its rustic industrial look. It would make a great table.

This is an old metal medical cabinet that I found at a yard sale. It needs to be sanded and repainted since whoever painted it had globs of paint dripping all over the place. Thats why we get these pieces so cheap!

This is a really awesome shelf {?} made from old crates. It could be a bar, store display or counter. I have to paint it, can't stand the horrible dark green on the top! I recently picked up a boatload of these crates from a client's basement. Most are attached to make wall cubbies? Anyway some have old labels on them so I'll try to get them apart and keep some as shelves and cubbies.

I scored 2 of these awesome little red folding chairs from a yard sale. The lady told me that someone had bought them but forgot to take them so I left her my card in case the person didn't come back, well I got a call that night that I could pick them up in the morning! Yeah!

Here's one big stack of the crate-cubbies. They'd make a great store display!

New finds from estate sales this past weekend!

Here are a few of the awesome things I found this past weekend!

Our busiest Spring sale ever!

This is my 3rd year at our sweet little barn at On A Whim. I love our big sales, we have 3 every year but the Spring one is my favorite! Everyone is looking for awesome furniture to decorate or re-decorate their homes and beach houses. I have been very busy finding, scrubbing, painting and loading up not one but both our trailers!

We went to the shop on Wednesday to drop off one trailer and Friday to bring more in the other one. We were met with a whole lot of purchases by one customer that had to be delivered so.....we filled up one, took it home and Sunday filled up the other for her!

Well needless to say both trailers are now empty and so is our barn! I'm back to looking for more stuff to paint. Our garage is getting pretty empty too.
