My garage sale pieces hung

I am joining in 2nd Time Around Tuesday at A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words.

The wall hanging above the door in the foyer. I got is Saturday for $2.50 at a garage sale.


The grate above the back door was also $2.50 from the same garage sale. We also hung the photo collage of my husband's trip to Budapest, Germany, and London that he did not take me on. It would look better with photos of me in it. See the curtains? I found them in a box someone put out in front of their house for the trash. Four tapestry panels. It was rich people trash. I could tell it was household stuff so I grabbed the box to dig through.






We moved the desk out of my daughter's room to sell on Craigslist. It was in the foyer waiting for me to list it. I decided to try it on this wall, thinking it would be way too big and be in the walking path. It is perfect. I am going to paint it black. I bought it at a garage sale for $15.00. I also bought the bulletin board for $2. I am going to hang some plates or something in the dead space between the desk and bulletin board.











I have had these plates to hang for awhile. I have a small oval white platter to go under the blue one, but need another wall hanger. The chandalier is my $5 garage sale find.





The top cross is the one I got Saturday. The others were bought over a year ago. They were a set from Kirklands in a box. I paid $2 for the box of crosses.





The table was my mom's. It opens with three leaves to seat 14 people.











I hung this one by the garage door. I also found it at the garage sale Saturday and paid $2.50 for it.





















The buffet was my mom's and the dresser was my great-grandmother's.




I am hanging the two other black wall hangings in my master bathroom. I will show you that later. We took down the old towel bars and have patched the wall and I need to paint that then hang our new towel bars. So, just hold your horses, People.
