Operation Makeover is now officially underway and seeing as I’ve found some lovely bargains this week, I though I’d share them with you as part of Magpie Monday 
I managed to find a new first project (after losing out on the lovely sideboard I won on ebay last week) and I think it’s going to look brilliant when it’s done. I’m going to sand it all down as I don’t really like dark wood and then paint it in a creamy colour I think. I might even change the handles on it if I’m feeling really adventurous.
Inspired by Jen, I went on a charity shop hunt for a glass cake stand and was really pleased with this bargain. I put it on the table for a while when I got it home to admire it and when I went back into the kitchenlater on it was filled with apples so I guess it’s been designated as our new fruit bowl for now.
I originally walked past this mirror when I first saw it as the frame was an ugly orangey pine that had definitely seen better days, but when I saw it was only 50p, I decided to buy it and see what I could do with it. I was planning on sanding it and painting it but when I saw how nice the frame looked, even just roughly sanded, I decided to leave it as it is.
So there’s my weeks bargains, I’d love to hear of any bargains you’ve got recently, or even better you could post about it and join in with Magpie Monday
I have a big thing about cake-stands although like the multi-tier ones as they hold more cakes lol!
Aren't you clever – I would not have a clue how to do stuff up.
My #MagpieMonday involves champagne and is over at http://gigglingatitall.blogspot.com
I don't have a clue either – I'm about to learn lol
I love your bargains! The apples look great in the dish and the mirror was an absolute steal, it's scrubbed up really well, look lovely!
I'm really pleased I went back for it – it looks so much nicer
Good on you – very inspiring!
Thanks very much x
I do love a cake stand – very nice indeed! That table looks cool, would love to see what you do to it, be brave, you can always change it x
I keep looking at it with the sandpaper in my hand but not daring to start lol
great finds! can't wait to see the unit when you are finished with it
Don't get too excited – it may be a disaster lol
Nice one! Told you you'd find something soon!
I know but I didn't think I would lol
OH! Love the unit. I am always on the lookout for unusual shaped cupboards, tables etc. We are stockpiling quite a collection. All I have to do now is get hubby working on them.
Great finds. I love Magpie Monday, I am such a bargain hunter, its great to see what other people discover. x
lol my husband has no intention of helping out! I'm loving looking at all the bargains too
He he he. It is going to look fantastic. I adore cake stands I have them everywhere. Can not wait to see how it all looks.
lol I want a few smaller ones now for my sideboard – you've got me started now you know!
