Garage Sale Makeovers
March 16, 2019
I can't wait until the garage sale season starts! In northern Minnesota, it starts about May 1st. Before May 1st, it's pretty cold shopping in a garage in the early morning.
I made a pretty good haul at the first garage sale of 2018.

This little high chair was one of my purchases. I can't remember if it was $2 or $5 but it was cheap.

The seat was missing on the high chair and a few screws but the detailing was just awesome.
Just look at the carving on the top back!
I still haven't upcycled this piece. I think it's partly because it needs repairs.
This vintage oak chair was $4.
This is the oak chair after the makeover!
All the details on this upcycle can be found HERE.

I also purchased these primitive country plates/platters.
They are still in my shed awaiting their turn.
I just picked up the jar and scoop for display in my home.
The scoop is marked A & J, and has a green Bakelite handle. I am sure the jar is old but not sure of the maker. (If you are familiar with this jar, leave me a comment with info.)
The jar found a home on this spice rack.
I painted the spice rack and added chicken wire HERE.

I also picked up this little primitive country style wooden bowl with potpourri.

I snatched up this little primitive country style wooden box with handle too.
I love this little wooden cabinet. I haven't had an inspiration for this piece yet!
This wooden stool is missing some spindles but I can see a farmhouse makeover in its future.
It has been stabilized with wire!
I picked up this deacon's bench for $5.
The deacon's bench moved to my daughter's home after the makeover, HERE.
This was a metal outdoor planter box that I bought at the sale.
The planter was upcycled and got a place of honor here on my peacock settee.
What have you up-cycled from a garage sale lately?
