I have been doing a little treasure hunting myself and somehow mananged to get myself out of bed at 7:30 on a Saturday, yes SATURDAY morning and to go garage sale shopping at that!!! I saw it from a distance, it was calling my name, as if a ray of sunshine was coming down from the sky shining over it! There it was, a nasty little chair. I asked the lady how much and when she said "one dolla" I knew this little chair would be coming home with me to be my first DIY victim. And for a buck, if I messed it up I wouldn't be too upset! So here is my first attempt at being a Centsational Gal!
The cushion was sooo grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooss!

A good cleaning, a fresh coat of paint, the tightening up of several screws, a new cushion (handmade by moi') and a now not so lonely corner in our bedroom for the cost of about $15 bucks!!!! Now that just makes me SMILE :) I love a good bargain~
Currently I am working on revamping an old lamp I bought on my lunch break at Goodwill last week! What is happening to me????? Will blog about that when it is finished!
