I had a total of about 5 minutes to scan my local Goodwill, expecting to find nothing. When out of the corner of my eye, on the bottom shelf ,(calling my name!) I saw this...
Oh Lordy!! I ran over a grabbed it up. It was then that I realized it was footed {giddy} and turning it over saw that it was a mere $2.70 {really giddy}. Colors of spray paint began running through my mind. Lime green, turquoise maybe hot pink for Hannah's room.
But after studying it a bit I really liked the patina that had taken effect and thought I would keep it that way for a bit. It's really hard to tell from the quality of my pictures all the detail that's in this tray.
For now it's callin' my front entry table home.
As I was running to check out I glanced over along the wall and saw this leaning against it.
I almost didn't even bother to go over and take a look. But boy am I glad I did. This is a HUGE frame and about 4 inches thick. It's wood but not solid. Making it light enough for me to carry and to hang on the wall.
You guessed it. Half a can of black spray paint later..here is what it looks like.
I already had this letter G hanging in our home. So I thought it might look a bit more dressed up with a nice frame around it.
I purchased both of these items for $6.70! Not to bad I would say!
Want to see more great finds then head over to Southren Hospitality and Silly Little Sparrow and check out all the great post's!
That big frame looks incredible over your loveseat, and that tray is so pretty! I'm glad you decided to leave it as is!
ReplyDeleteI like your footed tray. Especially leaving it with the patina as is.... Good bargain, girl!!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely love the HUGE frame with the G. so cute. what a steal.
ReplyDeleteThe frame looks incredible!! Love the tray too.
ReplyDeleteLove the tray! The frame looks fabulous! Perfect to take the G to the next level!
ReplyDeleteLove the frame! What a great find!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the silver tray! I’ve seen a lot of trays and never one like this…I love the details and handles. The frame is a still too! I looks great featuring the G. I just did a redo on an old goodwill frame. Ahh Goodwill, gotta them!
ReplyDeleteCarol-great finds! I am wondering why my good will doesn't have these kind of prices- that tray would have been at least 9.99 at the one I go to!
ReplyDeleteLove the frame and G!

I LOVE the "G". I am totally going to frame the G we have in our home now! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Kelly
ReplyDeleteLOVE that tray and I love it as is too! That frame looks awesome, love what you did with it! Awesome finds!
ReplyDeletebeautiful finds! You have a great eye!
ReplyDeleteKate, I love your big frame! That's a great idea to hang it over the letter.
ReplyDeleteYou found a fabulous tray. I for one would not paint that one. I like it the way it is. The footed ones with handles too are hard to find, in my estimation. I have a footed one, but would love one with handles too. Good job! Marla
ReplyDeleteOh the frame is so cool! Love the way it looks with the G! Super awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!! Your home is so beautiful. I'm going to follow right now :)
ReplyDeleteThat tray is too cool! Perish the thought that spray paint would ever touch it!
ReplyDeleteJust think how it would look all polished off with bowls of pretzels, M&M's, hot wings and chips & guac. on it.
Wow, such great finds. Your Goodwill stores in the US are treasure troves! *allgreenwithenvy*. I love the silver platter!
ReplyDeleteFound you through Toot Your Horn Tuesday.
