Would you like to see what the spray paint princess has been up to?

Well I hibernated for days...well I went out only to pick up my projects, and my paint. Wow! I wish I had before pictures for you...here are the after, and my finds for the week. One of the best deals was I bought a computer desk and computer chair for $60. I brought the desk home and painted it black, and painted the hardware antique silver. It is my absolute favorite. Then I turned around and sold the computer chair for $50. Crazy huh! So my desk actually only cost me $10. It is heavy duty nice wood, and I actually have space, and drawers, and my printer is actually on my desk . Wow! I painted it to copy the PB desk that I love, that I am too cheap to buy! :) I got a solid walnut bookcase for Jake and Travis' room for $40, then I turned around and sold the bookcase that I had in the boys room for $60. Loving it! I got two PB benches including the baskets and liners for $200. I got two beautiful antique tables for $100. Oh and I got the sofa table for free! It was listed for $75, and I offered $50, and he said if your hubby is military you get it for free. :) WOW! I am painting it black. Well I will try and attach pics tonight of my treasures. I also painted the boys toybox red, and attached bun feet to the bottom. I love it. It is a wood toybox that I got at a yardsale in Texas by Roxann's house for only $5. Remember carrying it down the street with me Beth and Roxann ? Still loving it years later! Cool thing is I haven't spent a dime this week....I actually made money off my craigslist sales, even after all the purchases. A mean trick that I played on myself is that I accidentally clicked on San Francisco craigslist instead of Alaska, and after about a half hour of major excitment, and emails to the craiglisters I figured out that I was on the wrong one. WHAT A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! They had some amazing deals. :) Beautiful antiques. Anyways...I better go take the pics! :) P.S. I think I am going to paint my kitchen yellow! Oh and I forgot that I got two beautiful wood barstools for $25 each, and I painted them red. LOve them!
Love-- the Spray Paint Princess
