Vacation Finds

We stopped in this one place
Inn-tique in Milan OH

They had tons of stuff
however most was not
marked
which I personally hate
to have to ask what a price
is since I feel that they hike it up
to see if you'll bite

The pattern is

lilac time 

I found some on line 

any where from 12.99-19.99

 for the fork alone

They are engraved

I probably paid more for these 

glass knobs

than I should've

orginal he wanted $30 

for 6 of them 

no way was I going to pay that

so I ended up paying $20
I had not seen any of
these small of ones
and I have plans for them

The bad part was we went to
another place
called
Sights and Sounds of Edison
Milan is the home town of Thomas Edison

 

and got 2 for $2

I also got the

 architectural piece for $4

We are hoping to be 

able to use it to replace the 

part on the from of 

our house that has rotted

While on Put-in-Bay

I found a piece of material
which I didn't know
was a shower curtain
for $2

It will be perfect to recover 

some chairs

We did stop at this one antique/junk shop

they had a lot of things but 

it was so overloaded

that you really couldn't see anything

(sorry fort he quality used my phone)

you get the idea

 I bet there were treasures but 

it was awful in there

not to mention 

most things were 

not marked

 and you know how I feel abt that!

Dresser Vanity

We bought this dresser

in Amish country

at an antique store

in 2007

We paid $22

for it and it looked awful

of course I didn't take a pix

of it before -was pre-blogging

this is it once I had stripped it

I will show how the sink 

was cut out below

Wood Grain

Check the fit

The sink is off center because of the

way it needs to fit in the bathroom

After staining with Minwax 

I polyed the top

with Helmans

I didn't like it at 

all

It did give the finish I wanted but

did not like the application process

and had a terrible time with the natural 

bristle brushed shedding

Some adjustments

had to be made 

with the drawers

to fit around 

the pipes

The top left drawer

could not be used as a regular

drawer so we purchased

this tilt out that usually

go on kitchen sinks

and yes the knobs came with the dresser

Before

Dresser $22

Sink $35 on sale

Faucet $50 on sale

varnish/stain etc abt $10

so for under $150

we were able to make it
