May 5, 2014 by 17 Comments
Welcome to Knick of Time Tuesday! I hope you all are enjoying fresh air, green grass and birds chirping as much as I have this week. It’s so nice to be able to do some painting outdoors again, instead of on my kitchen table. There were lots of wonderful links shared last week, and I’m looking forward to seeing what vintage-inspired links get shared this week! I am now including a “You Can Buy It! feature each week {link up {Read More}
Repurposed Antique Headboard into Chalkboard…with a Wreath Graphic Embellishment
May 5, 2014 by 9 Comments
Do you all still love chalkboards, or do you think the craze is starting to pass? I still love them, and don’t care if they are no longer “in”. They are so “old “school”, which of course, I love. worked on a few more chalkboard projects last week, but didn’t get them all photographed yet, but wanted to share this one. I seriously don’t know how I accumulate so many old bed headboards, but I still have few more {Read More}

This hymn book page is so pretty. It was the first hymn in one of my antique hymn books, and I love that the title of the book is on it, as well as the title of the song. It has such beautiful aging too. Hope you have a wonderful Lord’s day! Have you used one of my antique images on a project you created,? If so, please share! My new feature READER SUBMISSIONS will showcase you! Blessings, View Verse {Read More}
Tiered Stands with Repurposed Bowls and Tins
May 3, 2014 by 18 Comments
Are you all sick to death of seeing our tiered stands? I hope not, because my husband and I finished a few more of them for the shop, so I thought I’d show them to you. I’m always searching for great-looking vintage bowls and pans, and save them up until I can put together the right combination to make a stand. Occasionally, I get lucky and find a set of bowls and pans that match, which makes the project easier. {Read More}
Rustic Wood Tree Slice Chalkboards
May 2, 2014 by 6 Comments
While painting a chalkboard a few days ago, I scavenged around, looking for anything else that could be turned into a chalkboard before I washed the paintbrush out. I hate to rinse a brush after using it on just one project, so I always try to paint several things at a time. I remembered the wood tree slices I had used for my Harvest Party Decor. I knew eventually I’d find another use for them. I sanded one side, then brushed {Read More}
Old Wooden Doors, a Horse, and a “Dance”
May 1, 2014 by 4 Comments
Many married couples like to dance together, but my husband and I have a differeny type of “dance” we do…on a regular basis. During the winter, my husband and I went to an auction (and froze our rear ends off), and one of the things I won was a pair of super old wooden doors. I had bought a lot more things at the auction, which filled up our Jeep, so we were going to have to make another trip {Read More}

Photo Studio / Guest Room Update
April 28, 2014 by 17 Comments
This feels like the never-ending update, but after an extremely long winter, work has finally resumed on my combination, guest room/photo studio, and I can see completion of the remodel on the horizon. I don’t have any really good place inside my house to take photos, so that’s the purpose of remodeling this old outbuilding. It’s just a few steps away from our house, so it will be convenient as well. My husband had to remove most of the front {Read More}
