Flea Market Finds

Look what I found at the flea market this week!

It was like Crate Day at the flea market on Monday! 

I was so excited to walk through the door and see these babies waiting for me.

The Pepsi crate made me happy.

Then the 7UP crate gave me a huge smile. 

Do you see the paint and chair leg on the pallet in the background?

That's Mr. Andy's "I'm bored" project.

Too much XBOX will make your eyes pop out of your head.

This tomatoe crate made me absolutely giddy.

I love, love, love this crate.

Aren't the colors wonderful?

The teal, red, and yellow are so my colors of choice this summer.

This box was sitting with the crates.

It's an old drill and tap box.

Some of the original papers listing sizes of the bits are still on the inside of the door.

The color is a little more teal than it appears here, so it was another cool score.

I really, really like this chair.

It's comfy and solid.

However, the fabric on the cushion has to go.

   

It's getting a coat of liquid sandpaper tonight.

Now to choose the colors.

How about a light blueish gray for the wood?

Maybe a light cream burlap on the seat?

These are frames that didn't get to say cheese before their makeovers.

All were that icky brownish gold color.

They were plaster, metal, or plastic.

All are much better for a layer or two or three or four of paint.

Now to find homes for them.

I love playing with paint.

I love layering colors to create effects.

Aqua has always been one of my favorite colors.

What are your favorite colors to work with?
