This may be rated PG for violence...we were doing a little "Top Shot" tonight! (If you haven't watched that show, then that comment just went zooming over your head! I watch it...can you believe that? To me it's just another reality show...and I love my reality!) William came over tonight and brought his school project. To destroy. And he did. It was a booger of a project to do...and a little target practice was just the ticket to let off a little steam! I was thinking it would explode when he hit it, but it didn't!
His project: A styrofoam head...
The shootist:
Well...that was a little redneck, huh? So, on to some fun stuff!
Why oh why can't I remember to take "before" pictures? I bought a lamp from the thrift store for $3.99...U.G.L.Y! No doubt! Terra cotta lamp with a terra cotta colored shade. And I didn't get a before picture of the lamp...but I did of the shade, so...use your imagination:
I painted it white (the lamp) and when I went to B'ham with 'Bama Girl, I bought a shade for $14. An $18 lamp...not bad!
It's for my bedroom and I also hung this frame and an urn (?) which was flat on one side that I found in a box in the garage. (If it's ugly...let me know!)
David and I went to Attalla, AL this past week-end for a little antique shopping and I bought a set of TV trays, so I used one in the bedroom:
I also bought a chair and ottoman. I'm going to redo this room for David's office, you can see a small portion of the wallpaper border...yuck!:
That was the fun...and this...is what I won! Susan over at Days Too Short had a giveaway!
So true!
The sweetest fabric and patterns *squeal* ! You know I love patterns! She's such a sweetie...go visit and show a little love!
Later,
Debbie
I love your finds! I can't believe you were right here in town ... well I don't live "in town" but just like five minutes from here :)

Congrats on your win, Miss Debbie! I LOVE that sign, and the patterns are fabulous! Those should keep you busy on a rainy day...
ReplyDeleteLove all your finds- and the lamp looks great!
Not really sure I want to know what kind of school project William was working on... *hehe*
