My husband and I went to one of my favorite consignment shops the other day, and I found a couple of items that I really did not need(ed). One was a runner! Surprise, surprise! Y'all know I hoard runners! I bet I have 20 or 30!! Maybe I should do a post on all of them. (idea).
I switched out the aqua runner I had been using in the sun room, and replaced it with the new one. Love the design and colors.
(My other treasure) I was on the lookout for a clock like some I've been seeing on the blogs. I don't know yet if it works, nor do I care. I wanted it to paint and display on my bookcase, so if it does work, that's a bonus. I can't remember whose blog had this clock, but I fell in love with it, and I saw one almost immediately when we went in the store. (Here it is with one coat of red paint).
Do you have any recent thrifty finds to share? I'd love to see them.

I like the romantic design. I have lots of pink and green in this room, so I'll use this in here for a while.

The runner below is the one I swapped out. It is now in the dining room. The two runners are somewhat similar in design with both having scalloped edges.

The original color of the clock was a light oak.
The paint I used is a free Valspar sample. This morning I put on the second coat of paint, but added a small amount of black acrylic paint to darken the color some.
Next, I distressed it just a little around the edges.
Had to restyle my bookcases to accomodate the non-working clock. Maybe I'll get new works for it.
