I was digging through my stash in my workshop, and came across a book about birds, with a pretty cover, patterned with bird feathers. I’m not even sure where I got it, but I remembered that I had a bird wall hook in my stash too, and they seemed to belong together.
Free Printable Vintage Postcard – Pretty!
October 23, 2014 by 1 Comment
It’s been awhile since I shared a vintage postcard, but I found this one at an antique store when I was on vacation in New Mexico, and really like the pretty scrolled font. I think it would be fun to create a Christmas card with it, adding a family photo to the front. It would also make a wonderful graphic for a blog. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE} This image is a JPEG.

Tiered Stand Serving Center
October 22, 2014 by 13 Comments
Did you think you’d seen the last of tiered stands from me? Well, I hope not, because in the past, I’ve always shown my tiered stands as more of a decorative item, but with my most recent tiered stand, I wanted to show it as a decorative, but very useful piece to have. I picked up a set of vintage cake pans at an auction. I had no intention of baking cakes. What!
Futon Frame turned Chalkboard Shelf
October 8, 2014 by 6 Comments
This chalkboard shelf was another one of those, “it almost ended up in a landfill” projects. My daughter had a metal futon bed, which she loved, but somehow, the bottom of the frame got bent, and the bent part was miserably uncomfortable on her back. We had another futon in the back room that my son used over the summer, but since he went back to college, my husband took her futon out, and replaced it with the other one. He {Read More}

October 2, 2014 by 8 Comments
I had planned to share another another Photography Friday today, but it’s been rainy and overcast the last several days, so I’ll wait until the weather clears up, and I can shoot photos outdoors. I do have another project to share with you though. My son asked me why I had printed burlap fabric images on paper. If you wondered why in the world I shared burlap, cork and cardboard texture printables a few days ago, here are my 3 best {Read More}

Repurposed Drawers into Wall Shelves
September 14, 2014 by 33 Comments
Last week, I showed you the trashed dresser that I turned into an entertainment center. I didn’t use the top 2 drawers, because we needed their space for the DVD player and game system, but I wanted to find another use for them and repurposed drawers projects are some of my favorite projects, so I got busy with them.
British Inspired Teen Bedroom Makeover
August 24, 2014 by 28 Comments
Whenever I’m giving a room a makeover, I’m always flying by the seat of my pants, with only a general idea of the look I’m going for. I figure it out as I go, and as I root through my house and workshop to see what I have to work with, but this time it was a doozy. You see, a few weeks ago, I decided to give our bedroom a makeover. We haven’t done a single thing to it, since {Read More}
Back to School Decor Roundup – Old School Style!
August 9, 2014 by 2 Comments
Today, I’m sharing a Back to School Inspired Roundup of some of my favorite projects, graphics, and decor. Based on the number of them, you may think I loved school and was a good student, but alas, I wasn’t. I spent most of my days behind the desk, staring out the window, waiting for the recess bell to ring. Nonetheless, I love school-inspired projects and think they make great home decor. I’ve included lots of free printables, fun projects, and {Read More}
