diamonds at the dump.

this morning we took a trip to the okotoks alberta dump.
it was a like a dream come true, stylish furniture and accessories for only a dollar or two.
we bought a mirror, lamp, chair, and wall hanging for $10.00 (can this be real?)
give this chair a quick spray paint and new upholstery…i am drooling.

the dump was filled with old pictures and picture frames, i bet you could pick up 20 for $5.00

we bought this mirror. i think it will be perfect in my sister’s house.
it was $4.00!

i can picture this table in a bedroom or living room.
it has so much character…i want it.

this queen bed is the find of the day.
can’t you picture this headboard spray painted in white or a funky color?
best part, i bet it would sell for $5.00

lamps, they had so many.
replace the shade and they would be adorable.
we also bought this chair, i just can’t resist a cane back chair for $2.00

the top drawer on this tall boy was broken, i bet it would be an easy fix though.
isn’t it lovely?

this is the perfect bed for a kids room.
i even think it is cute in yellow.
why don’t i live closer?

if you live in the calgary area you must make a trip to the okotoks dump.
with this place around, everyone can afford “new” furniture!

    Thank you for posting this! I’d love to take a stab at spray painting and upholstering but didnt really know where to start to find cheap furniture. What a gold mine!

    Love it. You’re great. There’s a good will like 1/2 mile from our new place and all I thought was “Dan would have a ball here”
