Old Door To Picture Holder

I found this old wood door at an antique store. It was outside her shop in the parking lot. I asked her how much she wanted for it, she said $10.00-SCORE. So I got it. I didn't take before pictures because all I did to the door was sand it and stain it. It was primed already, SCORE again.

I LOVE PICTURES as you can see. I like different ways to display them in our home. I always thinking outside the box. I want to Hobby Lobby and bought the knob and the plaque behind the knob I got from a good friend that runs a thrift store and lets me rummage through all their knobs, pulleys, etc.

I didn't even paint the plaque I just steel wooled it a little to get the color back.

To actually hang the pictures to the door I bought the huge clips from Staples and covered them with paper.

I also used matte board to the back of the pictures for more color and stability. I got a big bundle of left over scraps from Bev's in Ogden for about $1.50. I love the way it turned out. Thanks for checking out my post.

What COLOR should I Be?

I am asking you to tell me what colors I should paint these end tables.

Here is the end table in it's original form. It's crazy how much better it looks primed. This is another really cool end table with a lot of character. I am also asking what color you think this should be painted.

This is the end table in it's original form. These were purchased at the DI. The colors I was thinking was one in turquoise and one in yellow???? Then I thought one maybe black and one in red???? Any feed back would be great. Gotta love husbands, mine just came in and asked," DO YOU REALLY think anyone is going to leave a comment about what color to paint those?" I said, YES.

Dresser FOR Scrapbooking Room

This was my inspiration for this dresser. I saw this picture in Pier 1 magazine and knew I had to make it for my scrapbooking room.

This dresser had been sitting in my parents basement for over 20 years. It had the original DI sticker on it for $20.00. I asked my mom if she wanted it anymore and she said no. So I primed it and painted away. SORRY I don't have any before pics, because I did April 09 and I hardly ever took before pics of my projects.

I love the colors and how it turned out. Sorry about the lighting. My scrapbook room is in the basement with no windows!!!!!

BENCHES, BenCHes, and MoRE BEncHES!!!

This bench was very tricky, because usually you would use a head and foot board from the same bed. We had two head boards to work with on this one.

It's lower to the ground! I think it would be perfect in a kids room for a reading bench, or on a front porch. Here is one headboard.

We used this one for the sides of the bench. We cut of the legs to make it match the other head board.

I am so excited about this one. This is going to be SO SO SO CUTE when it's all painted, because of how tall it is. I Love it already and it's not even done yet

We had two of these to start out with. I LOVE LOVE that it has the wheels on it still and they work. My mom said when she was little her younger brother and sister both used a crib just like this one. So it's over 50 years old.

We have more to make this weekend, so check back soon.

SORRY-Again

I have not been crafting much because I have been scrapbooking. But this weekend I will post some pics of the benches we are working on. I am showing a project that I am ReDOing. I will be adding to my picture wall. Here is how it looks know, and I will post the ReDO when I complete it-Hopefully soon!!!!!

LOVE It When It Snows

I ABSOLUTELY love it after it snows. Especially at night, it always so much brighter outside. It's

like there is two full moons going on outside.

This is what I love how white it is, the air just seems so much cleaner. It makes me feel all GIDDY inside. Especially when Christmas lights are on.

So I thought I would share what our house looks like at night shortly after it SNOWS. Its so BEAUTIFUL. Favorite time of year-EXCEPT the COOOLLLLDDDNNNESSS. That's why I stay in the house at all COSTS.

Winter Wonderland Wreaths

I Love the blue theme of bulbs that was used on Tatertots and Jello. So I thought it would be perfect for the month of January.

These are the two wreaths I made with bulbs that Jenny collects from the Salvation Army and DI. If they are cheap she WILL purchase them. So I went through our totes of bulbs and found the colors that I liked. At the end of Christmas you can get so much cute decorations for a pennies on the dollar. A bought some darling ribbon two years ago. Not really knowing what I would us it for but I loved the color scheme on it. Dark blue, Turquoise, Silver, and Green. So I went through allot of stuff we just keep on hand for my wood crafting and found allot of the stuff for the wreaths and banisters.

I absolutely Love all the colors together. I think I like it better than the Christmas time banister!
