Are you ready to see some quick thrift shop flips? I have several to share today, I thought it was time to get some of these half finished projects OFF my work table!


First, I had a couple of vintage glass light globes lying around. I decided to make them into hanging candle holders or vases.

The first one has western designs in the glass... horses and horse shoes. I think candle light would be really pretty shining through the glass to bring out the designs!




I know the design if kind of hard to see, here's a side shot that hopefully is a little better. You can see I just wrapped wire around the lip and over the top to form a hanger. This light was a little scuffed up at the top so I wrapped jute around it to disguise it.


I love the bubble glass look that this one has :o]


Again, I think candle light would be really pretty through the glass but this one would actually work better for a vase, the bottom is pointed on the inside too which would make it hard to get a candle to sit level.


Next, I've had this jewelry box for quite awhile. It was already painted white when I found it.


The paint was chipping off a little bit so I just distressed it some more!


The inside is yellow... I need to vacuum it out a bit!


The mirror inside the lid was missing so I covered it with some pretty paper.


I wasn't planning to share this redo at first because it was just a plain brown corner shelf and I was just going to paint it white and be done... so there are no before pictures.


This next one is my favorite I think... it's a quirky little project!

Here is the before... an ugly fake skull wall hanging...


I almost passed it up but I thought I'd try painting it to see what it would look like. I used white and was planning to do a bright color but then another idea came to me...

I found an old hankie that I had cut up for another project (under the painted skull in the next picture).


I decided to decoupage that fabric onto the horns!!! I LOVE how it turned out!


It's an unexpected surprise I think... something so rugged and masculine looking could be feminine at the same time! :o]


All of these projects are going down to my space at the antique mall soon!
