so it wasn't any surprise that they wanted to hit up goodwill while they were in town last weekend.
1) lace curtains for our bedroom:
every room in my grandma's house has lace curtains. i'd been googling vintage curtains for a while ... but either couldn't find the perfect pattern or shade of aged ivory or couldn't afford them on our shoestring budget.
i know what you're thinking - lace curtains ... that seems a little TOO pretty for a bedroom shared by a man. but remember our industrial bookshelf (made from pipes and planks):
and our homemade bedside lights:
the room need a touch of soft. and at 2.99 a panel (we bought 2) ... even wade was in!
2) this cute little studio chair:

2) this cute little studio chair:
not entirely sure where it will end up but for now he sits in the empty corner of our living room (where our christmas tree once belonged). i love him - paint splotches and all.
3) these little chair decals:
i particularly love the chairs on the far left and right. again no idea what i will do with them. but aren't they cute!
i think i might exact-o knife around the black so that i can use the white parchment paper behind them as stencils. in fact, i have an extra burlap pillow i made last week that would be perfect. hmm ... it's decided!
now i have the itch! i purposely chose to walk to work today so that i wouldn't be tempted to hit up the local consignment stores during my lunch hour. best way to attack an addiction is to have a game plan. ;)
what's your best goodwill find?

The curtains are beautiful and I can't believe you found those chair decals at Goodwill. I guess you never know. - Ellen
