I've been collecting things here and there for my latest project, the redo of our dining room.
I had $5.00 burning a hole in my pocket and a few minutes after work so I thought I'd make a quick stop at my local Goodwill to see if I could find another small mirror for a grouping I have in mind. (It seems my car can't drive past the entrance to the parking lot without turning in lately!) I didn't really have the time to browse the isles in the order I normally do so I just headed to the frames and mirrors in the back. As I started moving stuff around I came across this adorable oil painting for $3.99...
I just love the colors...they are absolutely perfect for my dining room.
I wasn't sure about the frame...my first thought was to paint it but now that I have it next to some of the other items in the grouping, I kinda like the tacky gold color and black velvet inner border...seriously, I do.
Now the small gold framed mirror is definitely going to be painted in the same red as the large picture frame I painted a couple of weeks ago.
I paid $4.99 for the small frame and $5.99 for the large one...
I have an idea brewing in my head...If it looks the way I envision it you'll be the first to see it. I just love a good treasure hunt...
I still need one more mirror and now I gotta find me a couple more little paintings.
At least I don't have to worry about my car not cooperating...
Happy hunting,
Patty
