I had another one of those 1:30 in the morning moments last weekend, when I just had to make something before I could sleep. Actually, I had already gone to bed and been asleep for awhile, but my mind was still on “high alert” because I was waiting for my daughter to get home from the drive-in movie, so some little sound woke me up, thinking it was her. I decided to just stay up and work on something until {Read More}

May 22, 2013 by 3 Comments
Last year I picked up several beautiful antique head and foot boards at the auction. The were filthy and I was the only bidder, so I got them for just a few dollars. I’ve been cleaning and clearing out some space to in my workshop, so I was finally able to pull out this headboard and work on it. I cut the posts off of the sides, then painted it bright white, then put a coat of homemade mustard yellow {Read More}

My husband and I went to a neighborhood garage sale over the weekend and I managed to fill the back of my vehicle in a little over an hour. People were out in droves, but fortunately, most people weren’t looking for the kind of things I had my eye out for. I’m always looking for porcelain stuff, and rusty stuff, industrial stuff, and sitting stuff, chippy, sweet stuff old wood and wheels stuff, Army green stuff, salvage stuff, zinc stuff, {Read More}

My Boy – Senior Graduation Photos
May 17, 2013 by 27 Comments
I apologize in advance for this post. If you are sick of seeing photos of my kids, I’m going to subject with more of them today. My middle son is graduating from our homeschool, and being the thrifty mom that I am, I always take their senior photos. I am not a portrait photographer at all (or any real photographer at all), but we both were really happy with some of the shots we got, and with so many pretty {Read More}
Coat Racks, Greeting Cards & Playing with Picmonkey…one thing leads to another
May 17, 2013 by 14 Comments
This week I’ve been busy cleaning and organizing my workshop, which had become a mammoth disaster during the winter. The funny thing about cleaning my workshop, is I kept getting sidetracked when I came across things I wanted to work on. I think I need a little fun in between the drudgery of cleaning to keep me motivated. Anyway, I came across a super old piece of pine baseboard that had wonderfully aged pale buttercream-colored paint on it. Three coat {Read More}
Homemade Chalk Style Paint Pie Safe
May 15, 2013 by 15 Comments
Last year we bought an old RV. It needs some work to get it running well, but we hope to do a little traveling in it. I’m also hoping to make it look pretty – as if I need another remodeling project. Inside the RV was this little pine cabinet. It was cute, but bland. It reminds me of a pie safe. I whipped up a batch of homemade chalk style paint. I used turquoise on the outside and bright {Read More}
