Making Over My Thrifty Find

 

G-Man went to Anniston last week on business so I jumped in with him.  I had him drop me off at “Apple Barrel Antique Mall”.  Rhoda from Southern Hospitality was there recently too and posted about it here. 

Even though I spent over two hours there waiting to be picked up, I only walked away with three purchases!!   

I am keeping one of them a secret for now.  I am getting ready to do a tiny redo in my kitchen and my plan is to use it as part of the make over.

 

This vintage “Suroco Inc.” shell wall sconce didn’t look like this when I brought it home.

(Sorry, I forgot to get a before photo.)

But it looked like…

 

…this!!!  The bright gold could put your eyes out,  I tell ya!

 

After cleaning it,  I primed it and lightly sanded the high spots for a quick shabby finish.

 

I think I will use it for another make over that I have planned in the near future.

(HINT – it is an area upstairs on the top floor)

For now,  she is hanging out in the kitchen!

 

I was hoping one of my cloches would fit this cute white  base.   No luck!

I can use it as a riser when something needs a little boost.

 

I fell in love with it’s  glass knob feet.  Great idea!

See you there!
