Hi there!
Today I am sharing a Goodwill shelf transformation with spray paint and Annie Sloan Old white chalk paint.
THE Before
Here is my half price shelf before….looked really beat up and had some random screws in it that I had to remove and fill with puddy.
Half price..which was then $2.50.
Nothing a little spray paint can’t cure, at first that is…
Loved it!
However, it still needed a little more..
so I used some left over OLD white Annie sloan chalk paint
and painted over the blue, and lightly distressed it.
I really love to thrift and turn trash into treasure.
This shelf serves such a cute display per season for the TV room.
which is my boys hang out room actually.
hence the family rules.
Curtains are from World Market
And here you can see how the blue peeks through after lightly distressing.
Oh that’s the cutest thing!! Love what you did with the flowers too. Love the photo frame. Wish we had a big Goodwill or SA here to go to. I have to plan a trip to Asheville to get anything except Walmart and CVS. Lots of Internet shopping though!!
Love the shelf!! I am uploading my pics now..dinner, movie, then time to link up. I can’t wait to show you 🙂

Your project is SO charming, Debbie…just love the colors and it makes such a cheery vignette with the boys’ photos! I’m linked on, too- thanks!
Oh awesome deals and I love the look of everything! Isn’t Goodwill wonderful? Have a wonderful weekend:)
Great finds! And great job putting them all together!
Thanks for hosting, Debbie!
it’s bright, cheerful and fun…and I love it. Thank you for letting me be a part of this fun party. So glad I found it today. 🙂
Great price and redo! Shopping this week, but nothing thrifty. 🙁 Have you priced laminate flooring and tile lately!?!?
Enjoy your weekend.
I looove your finds and the resulting display/vignette! So charming! Great job and thanks for hosting the party!
You are getting good with the spray paint and your cheap finds. Love that shelf and your vignette of your boys. I will link in the morning.
Well done! Can you come and help me now? :0)
Nice job! You got the cutest things! Hope you like my bargains!!
I just love your stuff!!! Have you always been so creative…does it just come to ya?? I wish I could see the beauty in things like that and be able to fix it up and make it look beautiful!!
Fab job again!
My goodness you are good, I love love love the arrangement on this shelf, perfect. Funny, I am always turning things that are in color white and you vice versa…hmmm if you were my neighbor we could just trade wouldn’t that be fun. Giggle. Thanks for inviting me to the party….
hugs,
Olivia
Hi Debbie! Your button is in my Blogworld Connections scrolling sidebar. Yours is the first button under “Weekends.” This is where I keep all my linky party buttons. Please feel free to let me know if you would like me to display it in another way. This way, your button is on display all week long, 24-7! Thanks again for the party!
soooooooooo much cuter in the blue. yay for spraypaint!!!!!
Love it!! I’m determined to get something done tomorrow so I can post! I’ve got a busy day so it might be late but I’m going to give it my best! Oh ya thanks a lot!! Now I can’t stop singing the song… 😉
Adorable- I love how it all came together. And you use such fun colors in decorating. Thanks for sharing!
Love it! So glad I found your blogged. I linked to your party. I’m your newest follower and now Abba is stuck in my head!! Great blog =)
You are a genius at decorating on a budget, Debbie! I really enjoy all of your projects!
Good Morning Debbie,
You totally scored on that shopping trip!! I do love what you did with the shelf! I was surprised to see that you used the Bahama Sea paint on it–exactly the color I just finished painting one of our lawn chairs. I bought 4 different colors of that Krylon paint and love the way it turned out. Have you tried the Watermelon–it is exactly the color of Pink Flamingos!!
Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit. We love having company!
and, I forgot to say…Happy Anniversary!! Your pics were wonderful. Wait til you celebrate your 43rd…which we will be doing on June 16th!! Would love to see what you post about that one…LOL
Love the yellow paint! Very fun photographs of the kids too!
Mmmm! I like the new color! Sounds so vactioney! LOL!
Your display shelf and vignette are so cute. I like the flowers, but I really love the letter. I always see letters and like them but never can see them on the wall in my home anywhere. The way you have this letter paired with the rest of this display really makes it for me! Very Nice!
Great job. I love going to goodwill and junk shops, you never know what you will find. Hope all is well with you and yours. I have been so busy I am grateful that I have not had a blog to keep up with, but I miss you guys…
Love the yellow and blue. Had both in my hand last night at Walmart and put them back. Now I have to go back and get them! Great deals.
Hi Debbie,
Wow you have had some luck with thrifting. What a great job on the shelf especially, it looks great. I have passed on an award to you today, thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog.

You’re just filled with awesomeness! I love your blog Debbie.
I just love how you use blue and yellow paint!! Bought the spray paint cans, but haven’t used them yet. As always…you are very inspiring 🙂

I love what you found at Thrift Store, Debbie, but what you’ve done to it, is just fantastic. The color is beautiful..
For less than the cost of a latte, you now have a chic little shelf in your home. How wonderful!
Hi Debbie, Yay, I finally made it to the party! I am not a tag sale ‘n or thrift shopping kinda girl but in the last two weeks that has changed and I’m loving SA and GW! Home Goods is wondering where I am, think they put on Missing Person Report on me! I love your “SHELF” project, it came out fabulous! The flowers are too cute. Thanks for hosting such a fun party!
And as always thank you for visiting and taking the time to leave me your “sweet” comments, you’re the best!
Hugz,
Kim
What a great transformation!!
that is the cutiest shelf now and the color is so sweet love the little wooden flowers great job:)
Thank you so much!! I did link my mirror. Thanks again, Abby is very cute, she knows how to work it too!!
I love those colors! I have a can of the bahuas blue hanging around just waiting to be sprayed! Whatta wonderful deal too ! Wonderful, thanks for sharing! Can wait to join in on the blog hop 🙂
Thanks for the comment on my blog. When I came across your blog, it just felt like you lived in a happy place which in turns makes us bloggetts happy!

Hiya Debbie!
Oh, great finds and even better redos!
I have a box of different thrift finds just sitting and waiting for a non-rainy day to have a spray painting party! lol
This is all your fault, Debbie. I bought this piece, which is undoubtedly wonderful, so that I could show you on your link party. Now I think I’m going to have to decorate an entire room around it (haha). Thank you for allowing me to link!
Debbie..thanks for stopping over and hosting as usual!
I will keep my eyes open for a tureen for you. 🙂
-heather
That shelf is a great find. And you cant beat the price. Thanks for hosting today. It is a lways fun to see everyonen finds and treasures…Julian
I like that color of blue! Maybe I should consider it for the bench I just bought. Our GW never has 1/2 off sales- in fact, their prices are so high- they could be retail! It is rare to find good prices. I remember those types of wooden flowers from the eighties! LOL
Thanks for hosting the par-tay!
🙂 Sue
I love this blog because it inspires me! I’m visiting everyone because this my favorite thing to do – blog hop crafters who know what they’re doing. I can’t believe you did a cheap second hand shelf and wooden flowers is amazing! I love it all.

Hi Mas JUNK last entry you put my link in to my blog instead of your post…hope you see this message…I do not know where to find you:)
Ohhhh I LOVE that shelf and flowers – too cute! The colors are Perfect and so “summery”. There is an award waiting for you over at my blog today so check it out when you get a chance! Big hugs! :o)
I just found your blog and Garage sale linky! Thank goodness! I am addicted to yard sales and post my haul every week. I had asked if anyone knew of a yard sale meme in my post for this week. You will hear from me every week. Where in the Carolinas are you located? I live in York, SC.
clever girl, thinking outside the box! That blue looks great contrasting with your walls.

I hope you don’t mind but I awarded you the Versatile Blogger Award.
http://thosenorthernskies.blogspot.com/2010/05/versatile-blogger-award.html
I am not sure why/how I notified you about the award on this post – I do apologize.
I love how the big picture frame and the M balance with the shelf – looks great!!
I love the color you picked for the shelf.
You did well! I love Krylon..I use a ton of it to redo the wicker for the porch. Should have bought stock!
I couldn’t link to your party..I am forbidden 🙂 to go to yard sales..and the thrift shops here are not very thrifty!
But I will check out some of the other entries..
