Opportunity Quote Sign

When we remodeled our kitchen, my husband rebuilt the existing cabinets to make the cabinet under our sink, but the previous doors no longer fit, so he built some out of pine boards. He connected several together to make them look like worn plank boards, but honestly, neither of us was in love with them. Later, he made new cabinet doors that were fronted with antique ceiling tiles. I came across a quote by Thomas Edison on Pinterest that has {Read More}

He Came Bearing Gifts

I mentioned before that my mom, sister and her 4 kids recently visited to celebrate my son’s graduation and spend some time together. They weren’t in my door 10 minutes when my nephew came to me with gifts in hand. This boy could have a future as a junker, because he knows just the kind of stuff I love and is good at finding it. They live in a super, duper, duper old house in New Mexico and attached to {Read More}
Teapot Lamp Makeover
June 20, 2013 by 10 Comments
I brought home this teapot lamp last week and since I’m not really a teapot (or is it a coffee pot?) kind of gal, I thought I’d just use the lamp parts on another project and pitch the teapot. My husband convinced me to fix it up though, (probably because he knew I’d ask him to help me use the parts on another project), so I took his advice. I didn’t take a before picture, but the teapot had a {Read More}
A Few New Hang-ups

Rarely a week goes by that I don’t make at least one coat rack, but I finished 4 of them this week. I had a small piece of oak left over after creating a longer coat rack several weeks ago, and since I only had one of this style of old coat hook, I decided to just make a small, single hook coat rack out of it. I used my Silhouette to cut a vinyl stencil for the words, using {Read More}
Antique Graphic Rose Image and Piano Advertisement
June 19, 2013 by 6 Comments
This beautiful image came from a bookmark given to customers of a piano company. I found it tucked inside an old Bible from the early 1900’s. I’ve removed the wording on this image. Here is the original image. This is the advertisement on the back side of the bookmark. I like this wreath shape and think it would be nice to duplicate on a chalkboard.

Moving Right Along…
June 17, 2013 by 10 Comments
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that I’m an obsessive “doer”. I always have several projects I’m working on at a time, and many more on the back burner, waiting to start on. My husband and I spent the winter months remodeling our laundry room and men’s bathroom, and I completed many other projects for my home and shop, and we have done some work remodeling our bedroom, but now that the weather is nice, I tormented asked my husband if {Read More}
