Fabulous Finds Friday (Where Are They Now?)

Hey Followers (all 3 of you, ha ha)!  Sorry it has been so long since we have posted.  I know you were checking your computers everyday to see when we were going to post next, so finally you don't have to wait any longer.  We promise not to be slackers again.  You know how the holidays get. 

Remember all that stuff I bought at Canton?  I thought I would update you with what I did with some of it.  Here is the picture to remind you:



The first thing I did was incorporate my new ladder into my minor bathroom remodel.  The guest bathroom was looking a little blah so of coarse I needed to change the paint color.  Everything was too neutral.  I said I would never paint this bathroom again as I have changed it several times, but I just couldn't take it any longer.  My husband isn't in love with the color so I am sure at some point he will talk me into painting it again, but for now it is staying.  I took down the towel bar that was in the room and used the ladder to hang our towels.  We built a frame around the mirror using standard base board and then I changed out a few accessories. 



Remember those old glass containers?  I used them to make me a coffee station.  My staition contains anything you need to make a great cup of coffee (except creamer) and if you know me you know I love my coffee.  Oh, and I have to put a plug in for the Keurig.  Love it!!!!



Next, I decided to tackle the serving tray.  I painted the outside of it with some paint I had stored away, which reminds me....I am beginning to store up a lot of paint.  Soon I will be able to open my own paint store.  I guess it would be like a used paint store.  I mean sometimes you just need a little paint and not the full can or quart.  Or what about those cans you bought and never used.  Instead of going to Lowes or Home Depot and spending 30 bucks on a can you can just come to Anna's garage and buy a little for cheeper.  Hmmm...what would I call my paint store?  Plus I could give all kinds of advise and what you can do with paint as I have done it all.  Not sure if you can paint it?  Come ask Anna......anyways back to the Serving Tray.  After I painted the outside I painted the inside with chalk board paint (that again I already had).  I set it on my kitchen counter and it has become my grocery list when I realize I need something. 


Well, that is all I have for now.  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years!  Stay tuned for some more wacky ideas from Tiffany and I.
