{Chalk Paint and Super Finds}

So i decided to try a project.. i bought a dresser from one of my favorite yearly yard sales at DAY BREAK. it only happens once a year, but it is garage sale HeAvEn!! :] 

So i bought this dresser for $ 25 bucks! Such a good deal! i bought it to use as an entryway table in my front room.  sorry i forgot to take a picture before i started of it all put together but here it is all taken apart ready for paint


I decided to paint it a "pOp" color which in my front room is avocado green :] 

i used a technique i found on pintrest call Chalk Paint. You mix water and plaster of paris and add it to the paint color and paint it on.. no sanding required. There is a catch.. it dries REALLY REALLY fast!! so paint fast!


Here it is waiting to dry! (worst part ever)

Here is all put back together.. i think i will put different hardware on.. just need to find the perfect knobs :] i love it!!

This weekend on my weekly garage sale trip i hit the jack pot! And i wasn't even going to stop at this one, but it was on the way so i went out on a limb. and i am SO glad i did! i got all this stuff..

18 Onsies

11 pairs of shorts

12 pants

15 shirts

3 rompers

1 swimsuit

6 bibs

3 dresses

1 pair of shoes

1 pair of tights

1 binki clip

1 baby toy

and 

1 car organizer
