Last weekend I had to make a run to Lowe’s and just down the street from Lowe’s here is a Goodwill. I left Anthony at home with all the kids and don’t tell him, but I did a quick swing by that thrift store. ;)
I left without buying anything but I did grab a few pictures of things I liked and so, once again, we have yet another post in the ‘Spotted’ series (you can read more if you click ‘Spotted’ under the drop-down, archive menu in the sidebar).
I don’t know what it was about this picture but I really loved it. 
I might nix the existing finish of the frame, painting over it with a creamy white but then again, maybe not. I think it’d be pretty in a little/preteen/teen girl’s room – I’d pull the bright coral color out for curtains or bedding or maybe both.
On the docket over here is turning two coffee tables into tufted benches (stay tuned!) and so, of course, that’s what popped into my mind when I saw this coffee table.
I have a thing for bamboo and the bamboo on this thing was in pristine condition. It was only $4 (!!!!) because the glass was missing. I’d remove that thick top part and replace it with a piece of plywood. Stick some foam, some creamy white linen, and some tufting over that and it’d warrant all the heart eyes.
At first glance, these tables weren’t anything special beyond their mid-century modern vibe. 
But, had I the time, I’d have swooped them up and dolled them up. The white tops were a faux marble that I might try to extend or paint down around the sides of the tops to make them look like they were slabs. Then I’d probably paint those sides with the diamonds and the legs (white? gold?) only because I’m pretty sure they weren’t wood. But, I didn’t look close enough to know for sure. If in fact they were wood, I’d sand them down and stain them a light, ashy brown.
This chair.
Gosh, I wanted it. But, I’d have an entire houseful of furniture with no room to walk if I grabbed every good piece I saw. But, it might’ve been perfecto out on the screened-in patio. Either way, I walked out without it. It was marked at $34.99 and in great condition. The cushion was boring so I’d probably make another but the bamboo (how I love it) looked incredible. And I don’t know if it came off the base or not but how awesome would it be if you took it off the base and hung it? Swoon…
This was a fancy map of the Rocky Mountains:
I loved it because I have all the sentimental feels for the Rockies; lots of great childhood memories. I also loved the colors in it; the minty green was so pretty. I’d ditch the frame and find another though and it could be hung anywhere – office, playroom, bedroom, bathroom, etc…
I had a hard time walking away from this little hexagonal dish:
I couldn’t think of a place to put it off the top of my head and now I’m wishing I’d have just grabbed it. Our bathroom counter is crying. My first thought was to stick some succulents in it to add a natural element to a space.
I have absolutely no use for teacups and saucers but these were so pretty. 
There were only two anyway and if I were to start a high tea tradition here in this roost, we’d need just a few more. The teacups might’ve made cute little succulent planters though.
I’m really not much of a dog person (hello allergies) but this little guy was cute.
Sometimes styling shelves can be ruff but the addition of this pup would make any shelf quite fetching, ya know?
And last, I spotted this gem:
’Reconstructive Plastic Surgery’ – this one would be the star in a frame collage. Hang it somewhere prominent and you’ll forever have the perfect ‘statement piece’.
*wink wink*
