I hate to dust it, but I love the wall gallery in my master bedroom.
With frames and mirrors from Goodwill, it was easy to fill a large empty wall in my bedroom. I purchased the frames, mirrors and small wall plaques in various shapes and sizes, then spray painted them all black to keep then all cohesive with a crisp and clean look. Even the ledges are from Goodwill!
Yes, they look crisp and clean, but one step closer and you’ll feel the urge to put a feather duster in my hand.
Do you have a wall gallery with items from Goodwill? I’d love to see your creatiions, TheGoodwillGal@gmail.com

What started out as a brown wicker night stand from Goodwill is now a white side table for my backyard gazebo!
Take note of the birdcage lamp. Another Goodwill find. Originally black, I spray painted it turquoise and even gave the cream colored lamp shade a dash of lime green to make the new update nice and fresh.
I’ll be logging many hours under my gazebo this summer and avoiding the hot Arizona sun. Thanks to my Goodwill finds, I can do it in style!
Happy Day to you,
The Goodwill Gal

Last week I updated my backyard gazebo, with a little help from Goodwill, of course!
I purchased new cushions for my patio furniture from Lowes along with three different colors of coordinating spray paint, then I went to Goodwill to search for some items to give my gazebo a fresh new look.
First, I added a large green drape as the backdrop and accented with white and blue curtains on each side. The blue “curtains” are actually flat sheets since I couldn’t find blue curtains in the drapery section. These curtains are on the north side of the gazebo and will get just a bit of direct sunlight but not enough to completely fade them. I love adding curtains to my gazebo because not only do they give shelter from the hot Arizona sun but they also add a bit of coziness and color to the space, not to mention they hide a block wall behind them.
I’ve got plenty of Goodwill finds from my gazebo to share so stay tuned.
In the mean time, which look do you like better, last season’s gazebo or the new one?
Have a beautiful Spring day!

It’s a bit quirky but I love my new cow shaped cutting board from Goodwill. It sits on the kitchen counter with my other lovely Goodwill finds.
Would you have past by this bovine home if you saw it on the shelves of Goodwill or would you’ve have said yes and brought it home to greener pastures?
I love a quirky find and Goodwill is the place to find it!

There’s a new puppy in My House of Goodwill and her name is Stevie.
She’s a Golden Retriever and has been growing like crazy since we brought her home.
With Stevie in our home now, I’ve been noticing all the products for dogs at Goodwill I’ve looked past on my visits before we got this pup.
I’ve found some new dog beds, with a removable cover, which is a plus with all of the mud she has been bringing in lately. I’ve spotted some kennels, both large and small and a crazy amount of clothes for dogs, including skirts and even a leopard print vest!
We’ve been training her to stay in a kennel, but with all the crying she does I don’t see that lasting very long. I know that’s supposed to be the way to go but she has not claimed it as her comfort zone as everyone has told me she would.
Although I’ve had to pass on the small kennels and dog houses I’ve picked up some nice water and food bowls from the stacks and stacks to choose from at Goodwill.
I’m still waiting for some toys, ropes and especially gates to come along but I’m pretty impressed with the items I’ve seen so far. Who knew Goodwill was for dogs too?
Do you shop Goodwill for your dog products? It’s opened a whole new world to me!

Yesterday, April 11th, was National Cheese Fondue Day! Did you celebrate?
I recently purchased this avocado green fondue set from Goodwill. It was screaming the 70’s and a Disco Party. Of course I had to have it, with a 70’s Disco Party in mind.
I didn’t celebrate yesterday but I’m thinking I’m going to take it for a test run this weekend! The Bee Gees will be my guests.
Have a fun-filled weekend,
The Goodwill Gal

Fondue set: $3.99

With so much media attention currently given to Kate Middleton , I couldn’t help but pull this Goodwill outfit out of my closet to channel my inner Kate.
Nothing glamorous or flashy about this outfit but with basic quality pieces from Goodwill, I too, can be princess for a day. Minus the bun in the oven.
Who are you channeling today? Royalty? Peasantry?
Even if you’re just being yourself, I hope you have a wonderful day!
Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!
