    Time to check out my junk treasures from the past week or two. I made trips to My Favorite Junk Shop and several thrift stores, plus I bought a few awesome things from the online auction.

    My best deal was this French Provincial dresser for $25. I bought it at the auction. The dresser is beat up on the top and one drawer pull is missing but that shouldn’t be a problem. I plan to paint the dresser turquoise and I have a big stash of French Provincial drawer pulls so hopefully I have one to replace the missing pull.

    Aren’t these two Eastlake-style chairs gorgeous? I paid $16 for the pair. No, I will not be painting them. I'm taking the chairs to the shop to sell them as is.

    I also got this fabulous pair of chairs at the auction, for $12.

    The antique nail keg came from the auction too but I forgot how much I paid for it.

    I bought the cedar chest at My Favorite Junk Shop for $40. I love the detail on the bottom. It will look great painted and distressed.

    I switched my artificial hydrangeas from the turquoise vase to this one. Now I just have to find a spot for the vase and flowers.

    I paid $6.98 for the jewelry box at the thrift store. A little over my budget but I plan to use it in my booth to display jewelry for sale.

    I have a lot of junk jewelry and costume jewelry in my stash and I decided I might as well sell some of it.

      I also like the provincial dresser.
      I love them for almost every room
      in my house. My chest are mostly
      the big old 3 drawer chest. They help keep me organized. I seem to remember what’s in my drawers.
      I also love seeing your before and after work.

      I am leaning towards the cedar chest. I also like the design at the bottom. I have my grandparents cedar chest from around the late 1930's. They are such nice pieces and have so many uses. I really enjoy your site.
