Free Junkie: Hallway Runner

Recycled Rug Samples

I found some beautiful New looking Rug samples at my Thrift Store. There were 5 triangular shaped samples. I knew I could do something with them and then after a few weeks I figured it out. (by the way, they were 59 cents each!)

Rug Samples sewn together!

I sewed them together – very carefully and my daughter had to help hold it because those rugs are heavy duty! My new hall runner is holding up beautifully!

Free Junkie Fridays: Stylish Rain Boots

I’ve been admiring Stylish Rubber Boots and I wanted some but not for the price of $20 or more! I decided to look for some Thrift Store Rubber Boots and Decorate them myself with some Paint!

Mom and Daughter Black Rubber Boots

We found these Black Rubber Boots at our local 2nd Chance Thrift Store for 2 and 3 dollars. They are the right size for me and my daughter.

Painters

We found these “Painters” at Walmart. We bought a multi-color pack; the pack was almost $10 which is spendy but we’re going to use them for other projects, too!

Hand-painted Stylish Black Rubber Boots

I used yellow and brown “painters” to paint sunflowers and my daughter used yellow and purples to paint cute designs on hers!

What do you think? You can do the same thing…polka dots or swirls would be fun to! Whatever floats your boat! or your boot!

I found two 99 cent enamelware cooking pots with black rims! Yea! What a deal! I also found some unique handmade strawberries to add to my decor in my kitchen.
