Goodwill Party!

I am excited to participate in "the Goodwill" party hosted by Thrifty Decor Chick because her blog is the inspiration behind my awesome Goodwill transformations!  I actually posted about this here and here about 2 down, but in to make things easier, here are my Goodwill trash-to-treasures!

BEFORE:
1 beat-up wooden bread box, two trays, lots of candle holders, small mirror, one lazy susan, one pedestal bowl, a gold bowl, and one brass lamp (that some how didn't make it into the picture). Cost? 30 bucks, plus some paint!

AFTER:
Beautiful black, silver, and blue accessories for our new house! And one "oil rubbed bronze" lamp! I love all my little treasures!

I also want to share my wine bottle vases.  I made these out of wine bottles. I didn't technically get them at Goodwill, but I'm sure you could do it with any vase you might find there.  All i did was prime and spray paint the bottles Carolina Blue. After they dried, i covered half the bottle with newspaper and taped a stripe on the bottles. I then spray painted them with the remaining oil-rubbed bronze spray paint.  After drying and removing the tape, I glue-dotted a ribbon to the dividing line for a finishing touch! I love them and can't wait to use them in our bedroom. Cost? um, free.  I used stuff I already had!
Thanks for looking!!!
