Thrift Store Gold

I finally got a chance to go to some thrift stores, something I rarely get to do with two toddlers.  I was looking for a chair, but instead I found a great little table, which I was incorrectly calling a telephone table...it is actually a step table (but I think either works =)  I got it for only $4.99!!
 I forgot to take 'before' pictures...but it was just plain old 70's style wood color.  I spray painted it with Kilz and then spray painted it turquoise.  Next I used painter's tape to outline the rectangles and spray painted them with black chalk paint.  

(love it)

Love the rainbow chevron rug?  Thank you, Bubbly Blonde Teacher!!

I used a paint pen to outline the rectangles...acrylic paint for the bog circles and voila!

I also bought cardstock (sort of) type banners at Target from the Party aisle and have them now across my windows!

And the last thing I worked on (that I took a picture of) is the first day frame...I had to jump on the bandwagon and make one!  

Linking up a little late with Miss Nelson (whose room is TDF)

Check out the party:
