dAMaSK cHAirS

I Absolutely Love these chairs and how they turned out.
NO before pics of these two chairs-SORRY. I promise I am trying to be better at the before pics. These two chairs have been sitting in my moms basement for about a year in a half. They have been painted this Green color for a year so I added the damask to them because I think it is so cute and fun. Here they are before they are stained. This is one of my FAVORITE Green colors ever. I am redoing our master bedroom. Let's just say I am using this color in the mix. These two chairs are FOR SALE if interested contact me via email.

The COLOR is Aqua

Okay I'm a little forget me Nelly, because I thought I had pics of it painted but not stained. But NOPE, NADA, ZERO, ZILCH(Everyone is probably getting the point so I will stop). I hate it when I do this.
The color is from Rustoleum as well in AQUA Baby, I mean the color is just Aqua and I added the BABY. I also used the glaze on this piece and I LIKE, too I Love the details in this piece and the other piece as well. I was just thinking how crazy it is that this was IN in the 50, 60, 70 and it's COMM-IN BACK. I LOVE IT. If you are interest in this piece it is FOR SALE just email me.

The Color is Summer Squash-SOLD

Here is one of the colors I choose for the end tables. It makes me want the weather to be warm and sunny.
I thought the top was kinda plain and dull. So I vamped it up-not vamp as in vampire but just Vamped. I just made that word up and I'm tired so hopefully I am making sense??!!! I gave it some PIZ-A-ZZ. I think it just gives that little extra appeal. Well it does for me, anyway!!. I used a glaze on this piece for the first time. I usually use stain, but out here in blogger land people rant and rave about the tinted Ralph Lauren glaze. So I tried it, a little different but I LIKE. Here she is with no handles and NO VamPin and NO PIZ-A-ZZ. Again, NO VamPin or PIZ-A-ZZ!!!]] This is Summer Squash by Rustoleum in it's natuarl form. It's almost a pale yellow. But I LIKE. Another all natuaral pic. If interested this piece is FOR SALE just email me.

Valentine Decor

I made this for me front door about 3 years ago. I still LOVE it when Valentines comes around.

The Hugs and Kisses were a set that I got from Heartland Paper Co. in Bountiful 2 years ago. I made the wreath from the inspiration of Studio 5 last year. The candles are from the DI and I added valentine scrapbook paper and embellishments to them. I made the Love Blocks. Found the cute red candle holder at the DI for .75 cents-SCORE. Also made the heart picture after Jen from Tatertots and Jello. I cut out the little wood hearts with our Miter Saw.

What Color Did I Choose???!!!

Check back for what colors I choose for the two end tables. I am staining them tomorrow and posting the pics. See you soon. Ashley

Valentines Wreath

I decided to make a fabric tie wreath, after seeing some of the cuttest ones made on tatertots and jello. So this is my Valentine fabric tie wreath.
I went to JoAnnes and bought 4 different fabrics and bought 3/4 a yard of each. Cut the fabrics in 1 inch strips and then cut the strips into 6 inch pieces. Hopefully the made sense??Look at the pic below.
This is the fabric and the heart shaped wreath I found at Savers for $1.99. I just tied the 6 inch strips around the frame of the heart and left the stuff that it was made out of on it. I saw this exact heart shaped wreath at JoAnnes for 10.99. I was glad I only paid a 1.99(which I thought was kinda expensive for a thrift store)

DI Finds

I found these candle holders at the DI. I just love what a can of spray paint can do to things. I made these cute balls last year after watching an episode of Studio 5. I needed something to put them on. I Love Spray paint. They look totally amazing This one is my FAVORITE out of the three. I love the white ball on it.
I added the flowers with the scraps left over from making my Valentines wreath.
Gotta LOVE the DI and I only paid a dollar for each of them. Which is good they are complete brass. They are heavy little candle holders.
This is ma Favorite ball and Flower. I am going to make more to put in a clear vase.
