My post today is about
helping my Dad update a room in his condo. I use it when I am on the
Coast but we are thinking toward the future so my thrifting was good
prices on oops paint, doing the work myself and making my Dad happy.
I thrifted the bamboo blind ($2.00 this weekend) and I cut it to fit the window. The oops paint was $5 a gallon. Big saving. Rug on floor was thrifted, 50 cents. New to me blanket on bed was a $5 at a flea market recently. Furniture was already blogged about in older posts. Found a couple of etching prints too for $1.00
This post continues from where I left off the other day. Putting the laminate floor in and adding the moulding strips took all day and it was so worth it.
Paint stir sticks make great spacers.Paint sticks were free, good deal. |
Took a break (sunshine, flowers to check out, fresh air).
Back to work.
Making progress. |
Room is looking totally different. |
Rearranged desk, liking it. Thrifted bed blanket. Thrifted rug on floor. |
A small room but much more restful on the eyes, and removing the carpet is going to make it easier to keep dust out of the room, and it is an update for Dad's condo.
My Rooster shelf coat hook going to brighten it up soon. The rooster coat hooks were thrifted for $3.00, a heck of a deal. |
More to come another day when the entire room is settled down
and the rest of the furniture is back in place.
Everything turned out very nice!

ReplyDeleteGood mix of fixed up, repainted, thrifted stuff and work. Like seeing where you are using the thrifted stuff. Good idea on the bamboo blind, makes the room look bigger. Nothing like a bunch of thrifted finds to make a room look homey.
ReplyDeleteLove the new floor. I'm amazed at how much you were able to find thrifting. Got any tips?

Nice job Rob ... amazing ... thanks goodness for thrifted goods. Almost everything in our house is pre-owned and I love it that way. The floor looks great. Bet it makes you feel so good to help make your Dad happy.
