My New Bike!

I'm joining Cindy @ http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ for Show and Tell Friday




I'll begin with my new lamp. I found this little beauty at a yard sale for $1.50! I'm pretty sure the cord has been replaced. It has a marble bottom and places to hang prisms!! I've had this shade for a while. It was on a different lamp. I had this trim too. I bought it for a different project.....$1.87 for 3 yards. It was just enough to put around 2 shades.

Here's my after!! I love trim...it makes everything look better! I also added prisms...love them!
Not bad for the price!










I borrowed this next idea from Sandi @ http://waysidetreasures-sandi.blogspot.com/





Thanks so much Sandi, my bike is not as pretty as yours but I love her anyway!

We lease land above the road from us to keep our horses on. It has an old house that's falling apart. I've found several treasures there. This bike has been there for years and I've been meaning to bring her home. She's missing half a handle bar but, I convinced my hubby to load it up for me!

I bought cans of white paint several days ago at Wal-Mart for .96 a can.



Here she is!! What a beauty.....for free! I added a basket (one I already had). I'm so excited! The complete makeover was 2 cans of paint!

  2. So beautiful, I have an old bike I'm going to paint, it's been a hard decision to do it, but when I clean up my summer furniture (when the rain finally stops)I'm going to put it in the line-up to spray too! Thanks for sharing! Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
