Love the re-store

I finally ventured in the one in our town after we bought a fixer upper last year. I try to stop by when I do payday shopping just to see what is in. Last time I was in there they had bins full of brand new aluminum mini blinds, the better ones. I have started keeping a running list of things we need now so I can sort against what is in there.

My favorite find was a brass drop pendant light. It looked all ugly and outdated. I took it apart, sanded a bit, painted it with hammered bronze spray paint and it looks like one I saw at Home Depot for $200. $5 for the light, $3 for the paint.

Ours has furniture and decor items from time to time too.
