Latest Habitat for Humanity find.


I wasn't going to post this until I was ready to unveil my twins finished room  but I was happy with how it turned out, and hey I cant hold water. lol
These are some things one may see at a thrift store, garage sale or estate sale and past by it. I saw these signs and it immediately reminded me of elementary school! . I got 4 signs for .90 so I couldn't pass them up,



This is where it all went bad, my inquisitive twin got a hold of the paint and got it everywhere!!!!

But I recovered the sign and repainted it  I think ill paint with a clear coat to cover imperfections.. Above you see a "rag swag" I made out of old diaper covers
 (see below) 


I just got these from an antique store yay

I need to add a hot pink element to tie all the colors in.

Habitat For Humanity Re-store

    
Ok I'm going to let you in on another one the places I frequent. The Habitat for Humanity ReCenter. I volunteer in the community a lot and found out about this place when I formed a group at work to help build a house. 
This is the habitats store. Here they sell EVERYTHING yes everything with the exception of food :). Where do they get there stuff? Well companies or private entities donate items to the nonprofit, or when they redo or tear down a house they recycle and sell it all. I often find great craft supplies or ideas here. Check the web here Www.habitat.org/restore for your closest restore. This should be your first stop when doing home improvements for they have new and used items . Here is a craft I did with my son using a $1 cabinet door, .50 clips form Ikea and letter stickers from the 99cent store. I have also included some examples of things I found there such as Clorox sanitizer for $1, a box of 12 hand sanitizers for $5 you do the math!!!
