OLD SCHOOL Stool!!



So I Absolutely LOVE these old school Metal stools and chairs.

When ever I see one I seriously give out a little SQEEL of delight.

I thought I had a before pic but I couldn't find it:::!!! OOps


I am in love with damask and black and white.

Also love it paired with yellow, turquoise, grape, and hot pink!!!


This is a stool that is a little different than any ones I have seen.

Most of the metal stools and chairs have rubber on the stepping ladders, but this one is all metal.


 
I Love how the stepping stool folds up underneath the actual stool.

I want to keep this for myself but I wish that about ALOT of the pieces I do. But obviously I can't keep them all.
This is FOR SALE at THE CANNERY in North Ogden
 THIS is SOLD

GIRL-EE Dresser and Nightstand


These are my OLD dressers and they needed a face lift.

I think just about one in every three girls had one of these growing up. Maybe not this tall dresser but the same white dresser with gold trim. I know a couple of my friends had some growing up.

 The handles are my favorite.

They are so girl-EE and just so cute.



I wanted something WAY girl-EE. Pink, White, and Green are the colors I choose.

I wanted to try stripes so this is what I came up with.

Things like this make me hope that one day we will have a little girl-EE in our home!!



The end table is what got me started. I saw a dresser similar to this on KSL and I absolutely fell in love

and had to give it a try.



I did the stripes on the top of the nightstand because it's so short you would be able to see it.



For the tall dresser if I painted the stripes on the top of it-you would have to be GIANT to see them, and lets just say I am not a GIANT.

So I did the stripes down the front of four drawers.





 I also painted the tall dressers sides green to tie in the green pieces on the drawers.

These dressers are FOR SALE as a set
The tall dresser is 21 1/2in across X 54in high X 17 1/2in deep
The nightstand is 21 1/2in X 24 1/4in X 15in

THIS IS SOLD!!

Front Door Decorations

I am in LOVE with owls right know. I think a lot of us are.
A couple weeks ago on Facebook someone posted a picture of a owl they had seen at a wood shop. I thought I could make one bigger and give it a twist of my own.
So this is what I came up with. I had painted damask pattern over the whole body of the owl. Since it's my favorite pattern right know. Then added some beadboard for the eyes and stomach for a different texture.
I think it turned out SO SO SO cute. This OWL is for SALE at The Cannery in North Ogden. Across from Kirts!

SOLD

So these are some of the front door hangings I have made for Fall.

This is also a front door hanger.

Earlier this spring I would drive past this house on Harrisville Road that had the Biggest and Cutest Flower on there front door. Every time I drove by I would think I am going to make one.

So I did!!! But I like the owl it needed a twist of Ashley. I changed the shape of the center part.

I also added a little owl, because I think they are adorable.

This is also FOR SALE at The Cannery Center

This is a close up of the little Owl. Isn't he SO FREAKIN cute?

Well I think he is!

I also made the biggest and cutest Sunflower for a front door hanger.

And....as you can see I added another owl. I might have an obsession with these adorable things.

This little guy is even littler than the owl on the huge flower.

This is also FOR SALE at The Cannery Center.

SOLD

I am working on some Halloween stuff right know. I am making a witch and some Halloween Welcome hangers. So check back to see!!

Little Girl Table & Chiars

Jenny found this table and chairs at the Salvation Army.
I just love little table and chairs.
I"m still amazed at how much a piece of furniture can change with a little love and paint. (and some sanding!!!) Does anyone have time for some tea!!!
I am loving this color.
It seemed a little blah!!
So I painted huge flowers on the chairs and table.
It turned out way cuter than I thought it would)))
This is a close up of one chair


Here is the top of the table.
Somewhat Simple

Transformed Bread Boxes

So I got this idea from my friend Angies blog at Red Cupboard Design. I saw on her blog how she transformed an ugly bread box into something way CUTE.
You should check out her blog she has a lot of cute stuff.
I told my mom to be on the look out at the Deseret Industry or Salvation Army for old bread boxes. I found an ugly bread box at the DI and my mom found one at the Salvation Army.
This is the lovely before pic. It's funny how sunflowers were SO IN when I was in High School-So So SO many years ago.
I though it would be way cute to add some cute scrap booking paper to the inside of the bread box. I didn't want to 100 percent copy Angies cute idea. So I gave it a Ashley twist! Then I got to thinking AHH!! why not paint the chicken wire to match the paper. So I went with orange because I like orange and its going to be fall and all. I love the way it turned out. I am in love with all these colors. If you check back tomorrow I will be posting some fall decorations for your front door and one of the projects colors I got the inspiration from this exact page. I also loved this paper too! Damask with greens and turquoise. I think I may have just got inspiration for what colors to paint on another dresser! We will have to see!! Can't really see the paper in this pic. But I love it. These are both FOR SALE. SOLD!!! They can be purchased at THE CANNERY CENTER in North Ogden. It's in the same building as Great Harvest Bread. Everyone should check it out they have really cute stuff.

Sneek Peek!!!!!!

Okay So I need to post A LOT of projects!!
Master bedroom dresser
Master bedroom end tables
Fall projects
Transformed Bread Boxes
Pretty in Pink Dresser and Nightstand
First time trying checkerboard
Little girls table and chairs
Books shelf
this is just to name a few. Needless to say I need to try a post one a day.
This is always my goal.....but as you can see I have failed this goal.
So I am going to give you a sneek peak of our bed my husband built out of an old door.
If you click on doors labels. the post is under finding old doors
But first you can see how the hubs and I have been sleeping the last two months maybe even longer. I have lost track!!! Seriously it's kinda GHETTO how we have been sleeping. Maybe after I share this pic it will be extra incentive for me to finish our bed.
Hopefully no one will think less of my messsyyy-ness we call our bedroom.

Under that blue blanket is the baby of our family-Pete Pup. He is not a pup anymore but that is what we call him. He loves sleeping under this blue blanket. It's hard to see him in this pic but the one below you can see the ball that is Pete. Or maybe I can because this is what I see everyday. He also has his dog bone close by on the pillow. But any way-getting back to our LOVELY room.

Okay so here is the Sneek Peek. I am so excited to get it finished.
