thrift store thursday and some laundry room cuteness :)

hey guys... so if you're new here....every thursday i try to share my favorite thrift store finds for the week. 

if y'all have fun finds to share...link up in the comments so we can all see. :)

okay so my finds this week. . . 

i had been looking for a big bulletin board for the laundry room.

i decided i was ready for a clean look for our fridge {after years of having it covered in photos...which i still love....just wanting to enjoy my first ever stainless steel fridge :)}.

so i wanted a big board to put all the photos of our family & friends on.

i found some beautiful ones at home goods that i thought i might go back for but you know, i am so. cheap.

last week i found this really big old bulletin board that looked perfect. 

i think it's probably about 2 feet by 4 feet. 

i think it may have been in an office or church or something. 

it has that berber carpet looking stuff stapled on that reminds me of an old church building. 

anyhow, it was only $1.75 so i snatched that baby up. 

i dug through my fabric stash and found a linen curtain that would be big enough.

while the kids drove their scooters and bikes around me, i stapled it on.

staplegunning is so fun, isn't it?! 

better, but still a little booooring. 

yesterday was a rainy, stay inside, kinda day so while the boys watched a movie i dug through my fabric stash again and found some fabric to hot glue on.

i just tore it in strips and glued it around the edge because i knew the pictures would cover the middle. 

i also whipped up some little rossettes from an old t-shirt that i had stashed. 

{i may or may not have a fabric/material hoarding problem. }

i added the pics and now i smile every time i walk by this sweet little room. 

it's so cheery and it definitely makes all the laundering a happier chore. 

i also added a white board to the back wall for chores & tasks and reminders. 

so handy. 

i like to have a little container of some sort handy to throw in treasures that i find in pockets. ;)

i've washed many a race car, rock & lego. 

i put all our extra magnets & photo magnets on the side of the dryer so that ruby has something to drag out and make a big mess out of while i sort laundry.  :)

so that's our little laundry room that makes this mama so happy. :)

okay a couple more thrifty finds today....

this awesome big ol' metal bin.
anytime i find a metal bin, i grab it up.
they are so handy and i love the industrial vibe.
this one is 2 feet wide so really roomy....not sure if it's going to the booth or staying here.....

some great vintage dishes:
 a milk glass loaf pan and pretty floral plates.
i hadn't seen a milk glass loaf pan so i definitely needed that and the plates are for a wall art idea i have in mind for the kitchen or dining room. :)

yay for thrifting! have y'all found anything fun lately??
{if there's enough interest in sharing thrifted finds, i'll try to start a linky. :) let me know if you'd be interested}.

also** the flea market where my booth is at {All My Treasures} is having a two day sale this weekend...everything in the whole store is 10% off on saturday and sunday. so if you've been thinking of dropping by, this weekend is the time!! :)
