Here are my Treasures I promised to show you...

I promised you a while ago that I would show you my treasures I bought for $35.00 + delivery!!! I know, this one is a bit rough, though I have given it it's first coat of white undercoat and already it looks way better...it came with the other door too, for $5.00! The men were about to take it to the tip!!! I think Mic wishes they did, lol. I plan to finish this in white, put new scallop pulls on the drawers and little handles on the doors (nickle I think) and replace the unit in our Kitchen. I will probably hang a big mirror above it.

This gorgeous cane bed was $10.00...how could I not snap that up?? All this needed was a good wash with soapy water.


I put it to use as a spare bed in my work room...it would have to be the most comfortable bed I have ever laid in..and its cute.


This was $15.00 and it too just needed a good wash down, inside is perfect. I plan to turn this into a mini Armoire with some detailing on top and some glass knobs. Currently it is also in my work room keeping all my bits and pieces tidy. Oh, I also got 2 old shoe shining stools as well for $5.00. Since these photos have been taken, I have been back to the 'Shed' and picked up 2 more treasures...I'll show you soon...Ness xx

  1. Hi Ness.
    The pieces you picked up have such charming lines.
    I am a flea market kind of gal, so I love a good find!
    I look forward to seeing the final project.

  4. You definitely found some treasures - I love them all. The bedhead looks fab and the other two will come up beautifully. I love doing up old furniture but I find it hard to find the space to paint it etc away from helpful little hands!

  10. Clare, the little helpful hands thing is the reason it has taken me so long to do anything with them.
    They were such a great find and I will show you my two new pieces soon.

  12. Hi Oldflowers4me, I have been to the tipshop at Longford I am assuming. My Mum came too while she was visiting from the Mainland and she bought me a beautiful old Pie Safe for $1.00...I think I have inherited her genes for a bargain!!
