A long long time ago I showed you the little bronze owl I scooped up at Home Sense for $4.99. I didn't love the color so over the weekend I spray painted it a high gloss white. I can't believe how cute it looks in Eme's room...
Moving right along...
My niece and two nephews were at our house for dinner over the weekend and I didn't have enough little chairs to fit around our little kids table. Since then, I've been wondering where I could find two more little chairs so that all four kids can sit and eat at the little table. Well, as Eme and I were out and about this morning doing a little shopping while Caleb was at preschool I spotted these...
(sidenote-- Caleb wakes up every morning and makes his own bed (kind of)... don't know how that happened but I'm definitely encouraging it :) And... he even places the throw pillow at the head of the bed. Attaboy.)
These vintage-y chairs were $4.00 each at one of the thrift stores in town. They are so insanely cute. Caleb also immediately fell in love with the chairs. He personally carried them from the car, up the stairs, and into the house. He sat on the red one for lunch and even offered his assistance in cleaning them up. Caleb wants them to live in his room... But I think Eme's partial to the yellow one :)
I just love a good find :)

Great find. The kids will love them. In fact I can already hear them fighting over who will get which colour...
Love them! And I'm sure Micah, Keziah and Silas will love them too :)
PS: So, I finally gave into your advice and signed up for pinterest (who am I kidding... I need a hobby now that studying Thai consumes my life!). And I've been on a WAITING LIST for over a week already. Still haven't received an "acceptance" for an account yet. Is that normal?? I want to get pinning but it won't let me without my account. What is up? :)
You have such good luck at thrift stores! The glossy white owl looks great - You've inspired me and I did my first ever spray painting last week - a mirror and our Christmas tree stand/urn!
