When I brought home at least 50 pounds worth of scrap metal, junk, and hardware “stuff” froman auction recently, there were oodles of nuts, bolts and screws. Now, I love rusty old metal, but I was seriously drawing a blank of what I could do with all that hardware, so I put them all in tin cans in my workshop, and figured they’d sit there forever. Little did I know that a project would quickly get created with some of {Read More}

Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Ballard Designs, Antique Farmhouse,… So much to love…so little budget. I sure hate to let all that inspiration go to waste, so after my first attempt at creating a knock-off project{my Restoration Hardware “metal” stencil knock-off}, I decided to try my hand at a few other knock-off projects. None of these projects will require a lot of time or advanced skills, because few of us have either! Today’s knock-off was inspired by a Round Wall Chalkboard & Magnet {Read More}

This gal may be old, but she’s got beautiful bones, doesn’t she? Somewhere through the years, she got “undressed”, but I think that’s part of her charm.  I keep thinking about getting her reupholstered, she’s elegant just the way she is, even if not very practical as furniture.  If I had a bricks and mortar shop, I’d let her great everyone at the doorway.  I wonder what she looked like in her younger years.  I’m sure she was a real “looker”.  This {Read More}

I remember when… she was just a little girl. I asked my mother to sew her a dress.  A dress with a pinafore…made of simple cotton. How swiftly the days have passed, and she’s found her own style.

On my long list of things I love, somewhere near the top would be old galvanized buckets. Actually, I love galvanized anything, but I love that buckets can do more than sit and look pretty –  they are useful at the same time. This old bucket had plenty of rust inside, but was surprisingly free of rust on the outside, so I decided to give it a shabby cottage makeover. Here’s how it looked to start. See all that rust {Read More}
