Before and After #5 & Purchases

I never intended to take a break from posting, it simply happened. Quite honestly I havent felt like it, no excuses, must have just needed the break. I have still as always been reading all of your lovely inspirational posts, though not always having left a comment. So please know they are read and enjoyed by me always....
I had a lovely fellow blogger comment and ask if I was going ok - this made me feel missed which was very nice, and quite special. (Thank you Maureen) So Im back on track and have had a growing list of items to post about.
This table I purchased on ebay for $18......

BEFORE



AFTER

I forgot to take a picture before and realised part way through after sanding and applying the base.

Sanded the edges to look slightly rustic as its in the spare room where I think it suits this look (my sons old room)

Quite happy with the result

Also have a few thrifty finds (will link up with Thrifty Tuesday next week), and purchases.
Here are some of them......

                                  This duck egg blue jug with brown flecks for just $5

This gorgeous boudoir chair I will put in my bedroom eventually $57 on ebay

The storage jar/canister with lid from an op shop for $3, the candy bowl on left I will put mini pears in (posted previously about this one $3)
Hope you all have a lovely week

Before & After # 4

Saw this idea on another blog, but it was done with material, not paper. Sorry, I cant recall whose it was, so if you have done this recently, let me know - so I can thank you for your insipiration. This table was left here by M's mum and goes with the china cabinet I posted about a while ago here. I have so many projects on the go at the moment, and not enough time in the day to do it all. Here is the poorly photographed before.....

The Before

The gorgeous paper from Victorias Basement @ QBV in Sydney

The After

I also did this little number I purchased on ebay for $18. Now where to put them both....
