Portugal Print.
Have I ever been to Portugal? No. Do I want to go to Portugal? Yes and No. I would like to travel anywhere but I cannot say that Portugal is number one on my list. Did I need to buy a Portugal map print at the yard sale last Saturday? OF COURSE.
I think I paid 10 or so dollars for this. Probably a little much for a framed print of Portugal but I've got a thing for map and ship photos. I need to get a grip. But since I did make the purchase I thought I would spruce it up a bit with some spray paint. First, I taped off the edges of the frame since it did not appear to be an easy task to pop out the print and mat from the back. 
Then I taped card stock paper over the rest of the frame to avoid any over spray and extra scrubbing in the end....
Portugal now lives in our kitchen....so I can wonder why I purchased a print of Portugal every time I walk in to this room....
It still amazes me what a coat of white spray paint can do to anything....
I just recently updated another art print here. It's nice to see walls in our house get a little love. We have been in this house for almost two years and still have many bare walls. I like to hold out and wait though...not throw stuff up there. I'm hoping it pays off in the long run...not swapping things out every couple of months. And in this case...so what if I do. It's just a spray painted frame with a Portugal print in it:)
So, here's to random yard sale purchases!

Go Pink.
This project is so appropriate for October - Breast Cancer Awareness. Whoop Whoop. As I mentioned in Monday's post I scored a few gems yard sale'n last weekend. This pink beauty was one of them....
They had an $85 dollar price tag on this. Little steep for a yard sale. I offered him $20 and he took it. {Yard Sale Lesson #1: It never hurts to ask!} I was kind of shocked but very excited to get to bring such a pretty pink table home. 
I carried it outside and gave it a light sanding so that my paint would stick better...
Two coats of white paint and it is as good as new.... 
It actually took forever to paint because of all the details and such but definitely worth all of the time spent. 
Now I just need a place to put this used to be pink now white table....
Moral of the story....GO PINK.

Yard Sale'n Saturday
Saturday morning my Mom and I got up bright and early - not really we left at like 8:00 - and set out to do some yard sale'n. We were both yard sale'n newbies but I had heard from a friend that the thing to do was to grab the Saturday newspaper - and find the yard sale section in the classifieds. This was a GREAT tip. They specify whether or not it is an estate sale and also mention the type of items that are going to be at the sale. For example, I was mostly interested in furniture so we detoured away from those that didn't indicate that they had any furniture for sale. So, a little Starbucks and the newspaper we were on our way....
We completely hit the jackpot on our very first stop. It was a semi-estate sale. Which I assume means their just trying to get rid of a ton of stuff but not actually emptying out the entire house. This huge old ladder was our very first score....I'm completely obsessed with how amazing it is.
Part of our yard sale loot at the end of the day....I've already started working on all of the transformations - can't wait to share them!
It was a very long fun day of yard sale'n. Afterwards, we were pretty beat - a lot of walking and bargaining for one day. At the end of it....football with this gal and guy. 
Until the next one....
