What will the neighbors think: Table edition?

So this is the yard sale find from Saturday.  Props must go out to my mini-van who hauled this thing home with two suitcases, four people and loads of other crap. Isn't she great!  I can't wait to get my hands on her...

and check this out...

20$ now that is a steal!  Yard Sale advice: always offer lower.  My cheap-skate brother-in-law says offer half the price.  I'm a chicken and tend to not shoot that low, but really what are they going to do - shoot you? It's worth the shot (no pun intended) and he usually is never told no.  Go early- really early.  The early bird gets the worm. Make it a game with kids and give them a couple quarters to shop with.  My kids think it's fun to spot the signs and pretend we are treasure hunting!  (but really I am teaching them to be thrifty and slightly ghetto. Shhh!)  Last but not least, when you find yourself in a large town (other than the one I live in) on a Saturday morning- go shop.  It really is fun!

What will the neighbors think?

Welcome to my first post of what will the neighbors think!  Let me explain how this came about... I like projects, there I said it.  Over the years (since we bought this house) when "doing" my projects they usually tend to done in my garage or front yard.  We (hubby and I) have done a million things - some day maybe I will show you (if you're bored enough).  But this most recent redo is what I attribute this title to. These bad boys!  The rocking chairs were given to us by some some good ol' neighbor friends who where moving.  The chairs were white and in poor condition from the weather.  Instead of going the predictable route of painting them black I wanted some punch.  Can anybody say School bus yellow!  Bauhaus Gold looks pretty right - nice and sunny.  Ah ya the chairs looked liked - well ugly.

No one neighbor said they were cute. Only "fun" which means UGLY. And I hated them, embarrassed was I, but I had to let the neighbors think I had lost it. So there they sat for several days until my pride got the better of me and I repainted them Peekaboo Blue by Krylon.  My neighbor whose name starts with a "J" said she hated them and wanted me to remember the name of the paint so that I would never buy that color again. NICE. ( I guess she has some say since she had to see them whenever she opened her blinds.) There you have it and there they sit.  Not predictable, but fresh. Fresh I like!
