Thrifty Fall Porch

Fall is here and I couldn't wait to redecorated the front porch...I love my front porch and since Fall is a favorite time of the year, why not, I got super excited to put some ideas together for the porch. This year I went with something simple for my thrifty porch..
I stayed with the yellow Glider for my pop of color and added more fall colors with the Mums, they are so easy to decorate with.

Also I added some thrifty chairs I found at the local flea market, I love them, they were a great buy, after a little black paint they added that New Orleans southern style I was going for. Yes I know that Fall doesn't last long but I just couldn't help myself.
I also revamped some living room end tables into planters for my Mums ..these cuties were a mahogany color that I spray painted black as well.. I noticed these 2 tables as I drove up to the thrift store, they were sitting outside and I just had to have them. You can see my love for the color black, it reminds me so much of my Love for my inspiration.. The Love of rod iron fences and gates of the homes is New Orleans Louisiana ...I Love the styles of the home in the French Quarters..
                                                                          

 

These thrifty chairs were $15 a piece at the local Flea Market. I used a thrifted twin sheet to cover the cushion purchased for $1

                                          These living room tables are now planters for my Fall MUMS...

Ok, back to reality, LOL, I was having a moment...

As for as my little table I was able to find a medallion for my centerpiece I found this Gem at Goodwill..Yes Goodwill, I love that place because you never know what you are going to find...
 see I told you everything was a simple design and I really like how it turned out its sprayed black also..                                                                   

     



                                                                               

The painted Medallion I purchased at Goodwill was only a $1.99

Ok last but not the least is my IT'S ALL GOOD sign  on the table, it says it all ..it's all good on the front  porch. It is my goal to make all my guest feel welcome as they step onto my porch ..yes this porch to me is like a canvas to a artist..it's my canvas it's where I do my best work and it makes me super happy..                                                       

Its all good...the sign made everything come together..

Hey Y'all, Southern Thrifters come over let's sit on the porch and sip some sweet tea...

Thrifting While on Vacation

There is always a reason to thrift...
 
While vacationing in Virginia Beach this Summer I couldn't help but run for the coolest spot I could find..
That cool spot was the pool..But guess who didn't pack her Bathing suit, me. No problem, I though there I will just thrift one, there has to be a Thrift Store near by..so I found this awesome place call Thrift Store USA. I'm like that's me..... I'm an American lol.  so I decide to go in.
The place was massive and it had as many people as a Super Walmart...I couldn't believe my eyes..This store was like the dream thrift store.
