Rustic Burlap Banner Printables & a Horse Buggy Shaft
October 2, 2014 by 8 Comments
I had planned to share another another Photography Friday today, but it’s been rainy and overcast the last several days, so I’ll wait until the weather clears up, and I can shoot photos outdoors. I do have another project to share with you though. My son asked me why I had printed burlap fabric images on paper. If you wondered why in the world I shared burlap, cork and cardboard texture printables a few days ago, here are my 3 best {Read More}
Burlap, Cork & Cardboard Texture Background Printables
September 29, 2014 by 10 Comments
Sometimes you want the real deal, and sometimes you just want the look of it, so today, I have 3 texture background printables for you – burlap, cork and corrugated cardboard. These might seem like unusual images for me to share, but there are some really fun projects they can be used with. I’m working on one right now, which I’ll be sharing later in the week. You can create and print banners, and add them to anything from cards and scrapbook pages, to {Read More}
Repurposed Drawers into Wall Shelves
September 14, 2014 by 33 Comments
Last week, I showed you the trashed dresser that I turned into an entertainment center. I didn’t use the top 2 drawers, because we needed their space for the DVD player and game system, but I wanted to find another use for them and repurposed drawers projects are some of my favorite projects, so I got busy with them.
Back to School Decor Roundup – Old School Style!
August 9, 2014 by 2 Comments
Today, I’m sharing a Back to School Inspired Roundup of some of my favorite projects, graphics, and decor. Based on the number of them, you may think I loved school and was a good student, but alas, I wasn’t. I spent most of my days behind the desk, staring out the window, waiting for the recess bell to ring. Nonetheless, I love school-inspired projects and think they make great home decor. I’ve included lots of free printables, fun projects, and {Read More}

There’s the easy way to make a Union Jack sign…and then there’s my way. If any of you plan to make one of your own, I just thought I would show you the way not to do it, and save you the trouble.
Antique Flash Card Printables
July 16, 2014 by 28 Comments
Today I have some free printables that I think you’ll really enjoy! One thing I’ve never been able to find at any antique store, auction, yard sale or thrift store, is a set of antique flash cards. I’ve looked at many sets online, but they are hot items and the prices are high – even for just a few cards. Rather than continue to wish I had some, I decided I would make my own “antique” cards, and am sharing {Read More}
Repurposed Soda Bottle Flower Vases
July 7, 2014 by 6 Comments
I’ve had a stash of pretty soda bottles sitting on a shelf in my pantry, ever since we built my pantry. They looked cute sitting on the shelves, but really…who ever pays attention to what the shelves in my pantry have one them, other than food – except maybe me? I decided it was time to let some of them see the light of day, and turn them into something useful – like flower vases, because that gives me a {Read More}
How to Accent Details with Antiquing Powder
June 23, 2014 by 8 Comments
Last year, I picked up this antique mirror at a yard sale. I was crazy about the details on the wood frame, and the hazing on the mirror. For a while, it was hung above my piano (which has been since been turned into a desk), but I was never crazy about the brassy gold spray paint some previous owner used on it. Kelsey, at Blue Minerals, sent me some Antiquing Powder to try out, and this frame was the perfect {Read More}
Antique Style Wooden Crate Wall Organizer from Pallet Wood
May 15, 2014 by 5 Comments
Antique Style Wooden Crate Wall Organizer from Pallet Wood My project today started out to be something totally different, but I failed, and this was my attempt at salvaging something of my failed project. I wanted an antique fruit shipping crate, complete with a beautiful label on it, but I didn’t want to pay antique store prices for it. I had several weathered pallets, so I figured it would be easy to build my own antique style crate, right? Well, {Read More}
