Last year I made these Candlesticks and more. Recently when I freshened up my fireplace I changed up my candlesticks and took out a few of them. The one on the far right (brown) and the one that matches it (white). They’ve been hanging around the living room for a couple of weeks. I was…
Repurposed GuitarPin it! I don’t remember when I’ve been so excited to show you a project! You know I love a good repurpose, and saving stuff from the garbage. This might be one of my all-time favorites! This clock was a curb find several months ago. I tried to do another project with it using…
This DIY Coffee Table Bench project is a must for your bedroom! I’m sure you recognize this topless coffee table. I got it from Joey’s booth for $3.96. Coffee Table Into Bench I put it at the end of the bed for a couple of days to see if it was the right size. Once…
Thanks! Thank you to all who have left nice comments on my bedroom reveal. I really appreciate your kindness. I am a little behind in responding to your comments, but please know I read each and every one. When I bought my quilt, they did not have any linens or window treatments to go with…
A few people have asked me about glazing furniture. I totally understand how it can be confusing. This time last year I had NO idea how to do this. When I first started seeing things pop up on blogs, I fell in love with the look. When I asked how to do it, bloggers were…
I made this coat rack wall shelf last month to give Jamie for her birthday. I couldn’t blog about it until I actually gave it to her. 🙂 Her birthday was Saturday (May 29th). So, here ya go! DIY Coat Rack Wall Shelf I actually bought some new material for this shelf. I needed a…
Good morning! Are you getting tired of windows? memo centers? I hope not. I have a lot of windows in storage. This idea is not my own, nor is it anything new. I’m just going to show you my take on making a window memo board. I have had this window for a long, long…
Good morning! I hope the sun is shining wherever you are! It’s been beautiful here, and I’ve been working like a crazy woman. Even so, I don’t have much accomplished. It seems like I spend a lot of time waiting for paint to dry, and trying to figure out what I want to work on….
I’m not sure why I love a good fleur de lis, but I do! Really, I like a lot of french stuff even though I don’t speak french. Go figure! See that wonderful picture above? It is from Funky Junk Interiors! I was in love with her bead board “office” sign! While piddling in…
While I was working on my fireplace makeover I found a fireplace screen at the Peddler’s Mall. Ya’ll know my firebox is the biggest in the world. I was shocked that I found one to actually fit the opening to my fireplace. Here it is in all it’s ugliness. Did I mention that I got…
I’m know I’m late, late with my post and late to the jute balls party. I have never needed decorations for my living room. But now that I’m re-doing everything I thought it was time to add some accessories. I have loved looking at all the decorative balls in blogland. When I decided to make…
Wow! It was a great birthday. Did you notice that nifty little banner up there? Isn’t it great? Jamie had a friend design that for my birthday gift. I was so surprised and thrilled when she “secretly” added it to my blog. I think it is perfect! Not to mention it looks just like me!…
Edited to Add: See that cute banner UP there? A birthday present from my wonderful daughter. She popped into my account and added it! That sneaky girl! Gotta love her bunches! I recently saw this window at Susie Harris’ blog. I instantly fell in love with it. However I didn’t think it fit my decor….
Pardon the distraction from the fireplace makeover. These things don’t happen overnight. It’s sort of like watching paint dry. Meanwhile I will show you a project from my good friend Rose. Rose really is the queen of good curb finds and thrift store bargains! She tells us below how easy and fast it is to…
First, a short tutorial on enlarging a pattern. I can’t paint freehand. I wanted to do a Fleur-de-lis , but didn’t want to try to do it without a pattern. I found an image online using google images. I printed it on card stock, and cut it out. In this photo, you can see that…
I am featuring another project from my friend Rose. While junking, I have passed by bunk bed ladders, now I am kicking myself for that! I can use power tools, but I am NOT a decorator. You will never see decorating advice on this blog. I rarely look at decorating magazines. I know I need…
I bought this door at the Habitat for Humanity restore in Nashville TN. I had been searching for a narrow solid door just for this project. It was on clearance for $5.00. (you know that’s my limit) I added some crown molding on the very top, along with some “L” brackets so that it can…
