One Person's Junk...My Treasure!

Saturday morning started out very rainy and dreary. Aja stopped by to "borrow" something and on her way over she noticed that my next-door neighbors were having a garage sale. Since she has been in the market for some furniture for her girls, we tromped over in the rain. She found a great wooden dresser  for $5.00 that she can cover with a coat of paint, change out the knobs and end up with a great piece for her girls room...I scored this for $1.00:

Yes, it's pretty ugly, but I bought the cutest bird bath at the Thrift shop on Friday for $2.00 and needed a stand...I figured this would do, but not without a little love from me first! So I broke out the paint and decided on these 4 colors:

Then I took a small piece of a natural sponge and started layering the different colors...This is what I ended up with:

Not bad for a total of $3.00!
