My secondhand deals of the week!

I actually was out early on Saturday morning and decided I would stop some yard sales on my way to my destination.  I got some great home decor items! 

Here is what I found:

 A very large beveled mirror! 

The picture does not do it justice – I love the detail on the frame and the bevel in the mirror.  I just don’t love the color but nothing that a little spray paint can’t change! 

Paid $10  (I walked through a local antique store after buying this and saw many mirrors in there like this one for $50 and up!)

A square decorative wall hanging.

This goes perfect in my bedroom (which is currently getting a mini-makeover, more on that later :) 

Paid $3.00

2 tall candlesticks

I had been looking for tall candlesticks to go on the floor by my fireplace.  I saw some at Kohl’s that were $49.99 EACH!  Whew – too much for me!

These still have tags on the bottom from PartyLite!  (Partylite is a home decor party line like Home Interiors focusing on candles.)  In other words, they were not cheap!

She was asking $10.00 for one but said she had another one that had gotten broken.  I looked at the broken one and realized I could glue it and no one would ever know.  So, she let me have both of them for $10! 

Paid $10.00

 Large metal urn

Don’t worry, this has already been transformed with my friend, Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint!  (And I am trying some antique gold Rub n Buff to bring out the design – more on that later.)

Paid $0.50!  (Plan to use this as the base for my 2 or 3 ball Ballard topiary knockoff!)

How about you?  Found any good yardsale or thrift store finds lately?
