I got a few things at the auction that I want to tell y'all about. Of course everything was a project, but that's the way it works!
Don't know why no one wanted to bid on this shabby, chippy, yummy vintage step stool. It's in great condition and all I had to do was pull off about ten layers of dirty old vinyl that was covering the top! (sheesh)
Then I dry brushed it with some white paint, leaving as much as the chippy as possible. I also added the image on the top by printing on
freezer paper and ironing it on. I'm hoping it will stay and not peel off.

This little metal stool had seen its better days but a little clean up and a new imaged cover is all she needed.
Picked up the pretty little bookcase and painted it a creamy white.
A little bench and a paino bench just needed sanding and painting.
I fluffed up my booth and added a few new things.
Love the shutters.
Okay all you wonderful, darling and talented people....that's it.
Get out this week and create, make, sew, photograph, write,
repurpose, and find something wonderful and share it with all of us.
~~hugs~~

Love those make overs. Amazing what a little paint can do, right. The pillows are nice too. Smiles to you, Susie(she Junks)
Great bookcase, Sissie! You are the second person I've seen recently who has scored a little bookcase. I notice because I NEED one! So don't you know, I won't find it! : ) No one else could look past that dirty vinyl stepstool? Thankfully, you are around, Sissie, otherwise these things would never see a new life!
Great makeovers! Love the little metal stool.

Oh, Sissy, I love LOVE that step stool, so tell us again...You printed the image on freezer paper and ironed it onto the stool? You flipped it, I gather, so it came out right? It looks great! I want to come visit your shop one of these days, but it will be quite a trip for me. Hoping to get out and go somewhere (almost anywhere) this Spring. Happy fluffing!
Hugs,
Sherry
Great stuff! Love that stool--
That little stepstool is adorable, i'm surprised no one bought it, not only is it cute, it is functional too! I wish my step stool that i use ALOT, was that sweet. Everything looks so pretty in all the fresh creamy whites...
Cindy
Oh Sissie , I think I could move into your booth and be happy !
Love your finds especially the first stool.
You've taken everything and made it look beautiful, Sissie. I LOVE it all!!! You are sooo talented, girl!
xxoo
this is a gorgeous takeover in the white color.
love the shabby look and the creamy white
You make everything better! Love it all but my fav is that sweet little bookcase! Oh I want one with lines like that! hugs, Linda
You're rocking it all girl! I love that 'vintage' graphic.
Great finds and redos, Sissie. Love all the WHITE, of course! Thanks for stopping by my blog with your kind words. I'm on cloud 9 with the magazine article!
Sissy, I love it all. It amazes me that we see beauty where no one else does, that is because we alter everything for our booths, a lot of work, but the part I enjoy, I am sure if you did a little spray or bush on acrylic the graphics would stay put on the stool

Sissie, these are great pieces. Loved reading about your furry babies below. ~ sarah

Adore all of your makeovers and your booth. I really like the "vintage" step stool...so cute! I want to shop with you!
That vintage step stool is NOT going to last long in your both -it's awesome!
Love all the stools and benches...a person can never have too many of those:) I found a cute set of shelves last week that made me think of you. It's small and has sides that look like a picket fence. I have it in my laundry room right now...trying to figure out where/how to use it. I need you hear to give me your expert advice:)
Wow Sissie I love your finds! I love what you did with them even better!
Good Evening Sissie..Girl you always do awesome work on everything you do..I really love the little step stool and that piece won't last long at your shop..I so remember my mama always had a stool in the kitchen so we could reached up in the top cupboard..
I pray all is well in your world my Dear friend..I'm still trying to get back to blogging full time ha ha!!
Well my dear friend have a GREAT week..Hugs and smiles Gloria
You found some great finds at the auction! I bet you were so excited when you bid on them...haha.

Great projects! Sure wish I could visit your booth! You've got me thinkin' of what I could makeover now! You inspire me!
Be blessed! Linda
