Welcome to Knick of Time Tuesday! My mom, niece, and nephew are still visiting us, but I have managed to work on a few projects, and have a lineup of projects to work on after they leave. I’d love to see what you’ve been working on, but first, let’s take a look at some special features from last week’s party.Redoux – Beautiful Painted StaircaseMy Vintage Life – Antique Christening Gown & Scenes from Her HomeBliss Ranch – Repurposed Radio into Bar {Read More}
Industrial Barn Wood & Metal Wall Bins – {Can you guess the parts}
June 23, 2014 by 27 Comments
For all you “junkers” out there, here’s a test of your junk knowledge. Can you guess what these metal parts originally were, that I used to created my newest Barn Wood Wall Bins? The answer is at the end of the post. I’m kicking myself now that I didn’t buy more of them, but I found them at an indoor flea market, while we were visiting family in New Mexico, so space was limited in our Jeep, and I only {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}
It Is Well With My Soul {but my brain’s another story}
June 21, 2014 by 11 Comments
Recently, a customer asked me to create one of my Amazing Grace signs for her. I’m sure those of you who are also middle-aged will be able to relate to this (at least I hope so), but instead of making an Amazing Grace sign, I accidentally made her a “It Is Well With My Soul” sign…I have no idea why. I wish I could say that this is a rare thing, but lately this kind of thing seems to be {Read More}
Salvaged Metal and Wood Sign, Answered Questions about the Guest Room & the Nightmare on the Other Side
June 19, 2014 by 11 Comments
A few weeks ago, I shared some industrial style inspiration I found while vacation. One of the things I fell in love with, was this sign made of corrugated metal and a wood frame. I added it to my “must make” list of things to do when I got back home. I knew I had some corrugated metal (leftover from my guest room remodel), and my nephew gave me an antique wood frame, that he found in the abandoned house behind {Read More}
United States Flags Printable
June 18, 2014 by Leave a Comment
July 4th is just a few weeks away, so here’s a wonderful image showing several different United States flags, that could be used for some patriotic decor. If you know someone in the Navy, it includes some nice Naval flags that would look great on a greeting card. It came from the same set of 1903 encyclopedias, as the other images I’ve been sharing the last few weeks. {CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE} If you missed the other printables from {Read More}

Here’s a lovely nature image,showing various types of ferns. It would make a nice framed image to use in a grouping with the other flower and plant images I’ve shared.
