I found this vintage Burton golf bag at a yard sale...I loved it because of the color, mint green (which is my favorite color).  I just wanted to share some things I think it could be used for in decorating. 

Outside-use on your porch or in your garden and put potted plants in the pockets.

Inside-use fake flower stems coming out of all the pockets and top.

Just hang on the wall as artwork

At the front door to keep umbrellas in the top and shoes in the pockets

Designer Bargain!

I've been meaning to post about this fabulous blazer for awhile...I was at Value Village Thrift Store looking for furniture to re-purpose...on my way to the furniture I was walking down one of the clothing aisles.  A sleeve caught my eye because the fabric just looked super nice.  I pulled the piece of clothing off the rack and it was a super cute blazer...when I opened it up, to my surprise it was Christian Dior...vintage too...OH WAIT...the best part-----it was $4.00!  It's a great piece to have and will never go out of style.  Here are some pics!

Have y'all ever found a great designer piece for a great price?  Email me about it!

Shabby Chic Kitchen

Hey Yall! Sorry for the delay...I have pics and videos of my kitchen...I have to resize the videos, so it might be a few days before I get those up!

Anyways to sum up the kitchen, it is white and Aujour Pear (same golden color I used in my living room)

I found antique plates (mainly floral) at thrift stores, yard sales and antique stores...the prices ranged from $1.99-$6...then bought plate hangers at the local craft store ($1.59 each) I just placed them randomly on the only wall I have for decorating in my kitchen; along with a white floral shelf I got at Ross for $9.99. I bought 3 random tea cups for the shelf and under that are my wine racks which were black and I spray painted them gold!

I accented everything with pink and white doilies that I found at antique stores!

For the place settings---I just have a bar/counter so I used charger platters from Ross that are Gold snakeskin texture ($2.99 each) and 2 antique bowls I got at a thrift store, in between them are pink and white doilies.

My "centerpiece" was actually a cheese tray and then the bottom is a candle holder---the cheese tray was brown wood (they normally come with the glass top)---the candle holder was black---my mom painted them pink and glued them together---now it's a mini cake dish or cupcake dish! Or you can just put your faux pearl necklaces in it for an extra shabby chic look!

Finally I have four bar stools I found at a dumpster...they were silver and had ugly fabric on the seats...I will post a video on how to recover the seats---All I did for the silver part of the bar stools was spray paint it gold!

When spray painting metal or tin...sand it first (just a little) then spray with primer, let dry, then spray paint and it will stay! :-)
