A Little British Flair

Look at the adorable footstool I happened upon at Marshall's this week!

Rebel, Rebel

This is what I worked on this weekend. Simple project. After having the wide plank cut at Home Depot, I stained the board. A small chip brush and craft paint was used to brush over the top of the stain. Next the hooks were positioned just so and you have a Hotty Toddy hook board!

Vintage Sewing Stand Re-Purposed

I got this ugly little sewing stand at an auction some months ago. I painted it and it was still ugly. Yesterday I took a hammer to it! Painting it hot pink was a big improvement. Letters spelling "BLOOM" were cut out of scrapbook paper and applied to the side to repurpose this piece as a porch planter.

A quick redo

I needed a quick fix for a large canvas. Fabric is always an abundant item at my house. A little spray adhesive and stapling and here you are!

A little snow

 The bottle chandelier with snow caps!

Transformed Trunk

I have been waiting to do something with this little trunk I got at an auction some time ago. I knew I was going to use it somewhere even if it was just for a brief period. I should have taken some more pictures of the process. It had been painted several times with lots of different colors. I had some left over paint from another project in a deep gold. After priming with white, the gold was next. I used a stencil with some craft paint, followed by a dark stain. I put it outside to dry in the HOT sun of Mississippi! Next I sanded pretty heavily to get an aged look. It is resting under my bedroom window for a little while anyway. 

A New Life

I was looking for a picture in my files and found this redo I did last year of a cute little side table I bought about 30 years ago. The girls used it for awhile before Max inherited it. It ended kind of sadly til the redo. It has been sold to a new home!
