I found a $1 antique oval picture frame at Vendors’ Village (where my booth is located). It was in rough shape, but I knew it was worth a buck. It got put aside until I finished my latest hall tree and I was wishing I had the perfect wreath to hang on it. I didn’t, so I redid the oval frame into a chalkboard instead. I hope you learn something from this short tutorial.

Talk of the Town #73
oooh la la ! Fun features this week. A little bit of everything. Before you hop over to check them out, make a guess of which one of the items is my feature.
DIY Entry Table
I LOVE making repurposed door projects. This DIY entry table is beautiful and functional. Add a basket under the lower shelf to add even more functionality. The blue door and table is the perfect addition to any home decor. The addition of a chalkboard is just the icing on the cake! Click over to see all the details so you can make one yourself.
Easy Window Coat Rack
I saw a window project at Cracker Barrel and literally found the perfect window at a ReStore for a dollar two days later. The knobs were 50% off at the craft store. It makes a great wedding photo display hat rack.
Patio Garden Hose Organizer
For this month’s power tool challenge the theme is outdoor/patio. I use a pocket hose for watering plants and flowers on my patio and I’m tired of it laying on the ground. I decided this was the perfect nudge I needed to fix this problem. I hope you enjoy seeing my project and those of my friends’ taking part in this challenge.
Talk of the Town #72
Talk of the Town #72. Hop over to see your favorite project from the hosts and the features.
Porch Swing Pergola (arbor)
After building the DIY picket fence last year, I’ve been wanting to make a new covering for the porch swing. It was in the plans last year, but it never happened. We made the pergola/arbor to look like the one that covers the front gate. It’s been years since I’ve really enjoyed this swing-I look forward to getting back out there and relaxing.
Repurposed Chair Doll Bed
We have a guest post today from Charlee of Travel Build Create. She will show you how to use a repurposed chair to make a beautiful doll bed perfect for that special girl in your life. I’m thinking you could also use it as a pet bed for your kitty or puppy. Please give Charlee a warm welcome.
Glass Globe Solar Lights
We have another Thrift Store Decor project today! I’m sharing the easiest and cheapest project ever. $2.50 Easy Glass Globe Solar Light! Drop another buck for a bracket and you’re all set. I love how this set looks on my front gate arbor. Think weddings, parties and more!
Talk of the Town 71
Talk of the Town #71 is up! Fun features along with great projects from my blogger friends. Our featured blogger is Vineta from The Handyman’s daughter. Hope you find a project you can do this weekend.
Girls Step stool
This accidental project came about by accident, but had a few hiccups along the way. Sometimes projects can try my patience, and I may even give up for a while. I stuck with this one even after some stenciling gone wrong. Hop over to read all the details on this girl’s step stool.
DIY Dog Bowl Holder
Another blue project from Mindi? Well, that’s no real surprise! But the paint technique and color is beautiful. And that Sunny? What a perfect name for that sweet face. If you’ve wanted to get a holder for your dog bowls, Mindi will show you the perfect way to DIY it!

Farmhouse Shelf Tutorial
Last Fall a reader wrote me to ask if I could make her some shelves like she saw on Pinterest. I don’t typically do that, but I felt up for the challenge. Using new lumber and corbels I found online, I made Cindy some chippy farmhouse shelves. Click for more details on how I achieved the chippy paint look.
Recent Finds May 2017
It’s been pretty slow around here hunting for junk. I still need to be more selective due to the fact of having so much stuff in my inventory. Of course I can never pass up a great chair, or galvanized buckets. And FREE is always nice. It’s great to have good neighbors. I’ve even found some stuff while on my walks with Lulu Mae. Which is your favorite find from this past month?
