Thrifty Thursday #17

I realize that I keep posting Thrifty Thursday earlier and earlier on Wednesday.....sorry!  Tonight my boys are swimming in a big swim meet....




Yes...he looks more like a boxer...(who lost!).....than a swimmer!  He won a silver medal at last night's meet and has been wearing it around his neck all day today!  Older brother is a little annoyed by that....


Anyway...I won't be home until late tonight and I'll pretty much drop into bed....exhausted from helping with the meet.  Hence....the early post!


Here are this week's Thrifty Thursday features! 

551 East Furniture Design posted this fabulous dresser refashion....and I learned a second definition to a la mode!  




You'll have to visit her blog to find out....or go to dictionary.com!


Kim at too much time on my hands keeps making amazing projects and this one doesn't disappoint!


I love this PB knock-off typewriter key art!  I already emailed and got my file with the letters!  I can't wait to make one!


Here's another PB knock-off from Coffee and their Kisses....




What a great way to do affordable transportation art!!




I was very inspired by this table covering from French Country Cottage....personally, I just love burlap!


...and I just love how she has arranged the table...makes me want to go sit and have a cup of tea....if I drank tea! What if I just put some Mountain Dew in a teacup??




Fruitful Home Journal made these pretty sisal coasters for under $7.00.




They would make such great housewarming or even wedding gifts!
