If you had not scored those shoes I would have tried. <br />It may be our generation or something, but I love any thrift store goodie/used object stores anywhere, anytime! I bought jeans in High School from a place in Long Beach called Jeans Euphoria!<br />Jeans on drugs! My mother was so appalled!<br /> My favorites were the ones worn by cowboys evident by the cigarette burns and tobacco chew circles embedded in the pockets. <br /><br />Beautiful as usual<br /><br />xxkelleyThe polished pebblehttp://www.ppebble.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-30860590537684098062010-02-07T12:03:29.084-08:002010-02-07T12:03:29.084-08:00Hi Kelli,

That is why I am blogging.<br /><br />I've had this armoire for many years and finally got the guts to paint it. It was not cheap so I didn't want to ruin it. But I'm so glad I did paint it. It only took about an hour to do. I just used a flat black paint from Home Depot,nothing special, and just brushed it on. It took 2 light coats.<br /><br />My curtains in the living room I purchased from Target. They were so inexpensive I wish I had bought more. They are super thick and hang really well. I have not seen them there since. This was about 2 years ago. The kitchen curtains are still at Target. I believe they are called Casual Home or something like that. They have tab tops that I just folded over and clipped onto the rings. I also got all the black curtain rods throughout the house from Target. They look way more expensive than they were. The sheer curtains in the bedroom also came from Target and they still carry them. They are a sheer with a stripe running vertically through them. These were really cheap like the kitchen curtains. Seriously, like $12 for a pair. I just recently purchased some black and white Waverly Toile curtains from Lowes for the bedroom. This house does not have any insulation and it was getting pretty cold at night with the sheers. I will be doing a post on them shortly. It's much warmer in there now with a thicker curtain covering the window. Even the drapes in the office came from Target and they still have those too.<br /><br />I hope this answers your questions.the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-26664043025857202602010-02-07T11:43:52.223-08:002010-02-07T11:43:52.223-08:00Hi Janet,

I absolutely adore your home and your style--I've just spent a couple of hours going back through your posts. In looking back, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind me asking--it looks like you did end up painting your armoire in your living room, if so, would you mind sharing the process and the color you used? I have a very similar pine armoire that I would love to do the same to. Also, I love all of your white curtains--can you tell me where you purchased them?<br /><br />Thanks for sharing so many photos of your home and so many great looking recipes--you are an inspiration!<br /><br />Kelli<br /><br />P.S. Love the shoes too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-75291118210263230302010-02-07T01:43:11.006-08:002010-02-07T01:43:11.006-08:00This is what is know as "thrift karma." ...This is what is know as "thrift karma."
