Welcome to Swap It Like It's Hot! What is that you say??? It's where a group of bloggers went thrift store shopping and sent $10 worth of goodies to another blogger.

12933089_10153299837526899_364002780343778401_n

I got so lucky on my swap partner! My dear blogging friend, Christy from Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer sent me my treasures. It was so fun opening the box and reading the sweet note. Christy's brother lives about 20 minutes from me and she dropped in for a visit last fall. 

 

Thrift store items sent to me for Swap It Like It's Hot. Before shots!

 

Christy sent some great stuff. I got a hoop cheese box, coffee cup holder and clip board. I was so needing a clipboard for when I am at one of our flip house job sites. I'm using it simply as it is!

This was a simple update using Metallic Gold Spray Paint by Rust-oleum.

Just be sure to clean the piece first.

I almost painted it white, but remembered that I had a can of the gold. I am so glad that I went that route. Sitting on the burlap runner and against that frame, it just looks meant to be.  It kind of looks like something I'd purchase from West Elm or Pottery Barn now.

Now, it was time to work on the cheese box. I spray painted it with several coats of satin finish Rust-oleum in Blossom White.

I then used my French stencil from DeoArt. 

With a stencil brush I painted it with duck egg blue by Annie Sloan Chalk Paints.

Also on OSH!  Pottery Barn Inspired Desk Chair

The addition of this one kitchen caddy caused me to rearrange my kitchen counters. I'm still in the process off painting the kitchen. All I lack now is painting the green island the same new color as the hood.

I love it with my DIY Farmhouse Art also made with a thrift store item.

The stencil was such a quick way to give an otherwise plain item a bit of French Country Farmhouse style.

I did lightly sand the box after spray painting for a smoother finish. I did not distress any of it.

    Christy, It’s so cute! I love the box and how perfectly it wrangles all those items that just need to stay out on the counter! And I don’t think I would have known that was a coffee cup holder. Doy. 🙂

    Hello Christy! I am new to your site and it’s wonderful. I came across your site from Christy at Confessions of a Serial DIY. What you made with the cheese box looks right at home in your kitchen. The stencil is beautiful and I really like the gold finish on the mug holder/turned bracelet holder. What a nice change up. And you’re right. The gold on it goes perfectly with the mirror, like it was meant to be. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I LOVE how you have combined lots of smaller items to make a bigger impact! I have quite a lot of little things the I cherish and want to use but can never find a good spot for. This has given me some new ways to incorporate them into my home. Thanks!

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 I've been a bit absent this week with my squares, but I've been painting again. Y'all know all that molding and trim that I've been tackling. It's so time-consuming but has a big reward. Fresh paint works wonders in a space. We've got a beautiful weekend ahead here in the south. Hoping to enjoy a little time in the yard before the pollen starts setting in.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer.
