Thrifty Thursday 9/27/12

 It's craft show time. The past couple of weeks I have been obsessed focused on getting my show display organized. It's been quite an evolution ( see my other posts below) but I ended up with 2 burlap and batting coved foam core boards to show my pendants on.
 I needed some easels and was 2 seeking floor size models. Nice looking easels are not cheap and I have been scouring thrift shops for weeks, so when I stumbled upon easels at 'Garden Ridge' last week I was pleased to find they had some at 75% off.
I wasn't thrilled with the motif or the color, but the price was right at just $3.74 each.  I decided to keep the receipt & the tags and try it out. If it was an epic fail I would return them.

I am happy to say that my set up looked good...... and did the trick as I had a GREAT day $$.

So I decided to keep the easels, BUT that color scheme had to go.  It's hard to tell from the 'before' pic but it's sort of a multi-color, rustic, gothic, tacky look.

Off to the hardware store and I bought some Krylon spray paint in 'Oil Rubbed Bronze'.  A few light coats on this beautiful autumn day and VOILA'!

Tacky becomes classy...just like that!
