Thrift store caddy gets an update. Beautiful focal piece!

Happy Spring! I’ve been thrifting again (are you surprised?!). I am trying to decorate my house on a budget and I keep finding all these amazing things at the thrift store! Today’s project is a simple one, but sometimes you have to think outside the box a little in order to find the beauty in a piece.

Thrift store caddy update

It’s Springtime at the Hepworth House and I’ve been painting and crafting like crazy trying to get ready for it.

I bought this stand and wooden box as a set at Gwill for $1.99.

(I showed you it mid March in Keepin’ Myself Busy.)

I am using the wooden planter for another in-progress Spring project, so I was left with just the frame. I totally lucked out and found this platter at Wal-Mart on clearance. I bought it and prayed it would fit.

(It fits!)

Part one of this post is a success!! Now for part two…

I am jumping on the Dollar Store bird-wagon!

Aren’t they just adorable? Well, the shape at least (not the color)?!

A little Heirloom White spray paint later…

So now I have this stand and these birds… hmmmm…

I decided to “kill two birds with one…” Wait. That is not an appropriate phrase for this, is it?

Throw in a little moss…

Chirp. Chirp.

    I love getting deals like that at Goodwill- I don’t get there as often as I’d like, but I love making something better from what was someone else’s “junk”. I love the white color for the birds and the moss just makes it perfect. You have a great eye!

    That is adorable! I can’t believe the luck, that the plate fit on the metal thingy. Love the look. And the birds, I love knowing you can spray paint them and they look great. What can’t you spray paint, right?
