Thrift Store Inspiration

Filed under: Clever Crafts, Smart Spending by Chelsea

I went to three craft stores yesterday looking for a decorative bench to put at the end of my bed. I didn’t find one. But I did find a 3-foot fake Christmas tree, ornaments, 2 holiday bowls, a set of red placemats, a Bill Bryson book that’s been on my list, a vintage Betty Crocker cookbook, and THIS:

A Winnie the Pooh honey pot “Hunny” lamp. Adorable, right? If I had a baby, his (or her) nursery would definitely be Winnie the Pooh themed, with this lamp as a focal point. But I don’t have kids yet and definitely don’t have storage room, so I left this for some other lucky family. I bet it would be easy enough to make your own Winnie the Pooh honey pot lamp, actually. You’d just need a smooth oval-ish lamp, craft paint, a clear coat, and a steady hand.

One of the stores also had a beautiful bedspread that would’ve matched my room perfectly, but I didn’t get that either. Something about used bedding gives me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it’s just me…
