Knick Knacks and Odds 'n Ends

Remember when I told you about the console table we finally found a home for and that I was on the hunt for stuff to decorate it? I'm still on the hunt overall, but did end up finding this gem at Goodwill for the low, low price of 99 cents.

Granted, it didn't look pretty. What others saw as a sad excuse for a fake pumpkin, I saw a diamond in the rough. I ran out to Lowes and grabbed some navy spray paint and went to work. Since I wanted to be lazy efficient, I got the Paint & Primer in one.

Here's the final spray-painted product. Looks a lot less sad, right?

Since I've been on a bit of a nautical kick lately, I freehanded an anchor with acrylic paint. Just because, ya know, I can.

Pretty spiffy, eh? All in all it cost about $5 with the paint, and didn't take too long at all (like 15 minutes total....it took longer for it to dry than painting it!).

Anyone else spruced up any thrift store finds lately? Do share!
