Decor Steals Knock-Off : Typography Bamboo Floor Mat The Typography Bamboo Floor Mat sold by Decor Steals is wildly popular, and though they recently offered it for a great price of $119.50, that still isn’t affordable for everyone, so I decided to try creating my own version for less money. I ordered a bamboo floor mat runner, sized 24″ x 72″ on Amazon and paid $27.99 (including shipping fees). Here’s my version. I selected fonts and created a vinyl stencil {Read More}

Farmhouse Stenciled Sign Fresh Milk, Butter and Eggs
July 27, 2013 by 13 Comments
It may be bright and sunny outdoors, but it was a gray kind of day in my workshop this week. When I get my paintbrush out, I try to work on lots of projects using the same color at the same time. I hate cleaning paintbrushes, so I want to get as much mileage out of it as I can before I clean it. I can also accomplish more faster by focusing on one color of paint at a time, {Read More}

You know I love crafting with old book pages, and I’ve got an abundance of old books, so I’ve curated a Book Page Projects board for Hometalk with lots of ideas of things you can make with “junk” books, including these book page pinwheels and several more of my own projects.

Christmas Tree Garland & Gift Wrap Embellishment
July 13, 2013 by 20 Comments
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…in July! Like many of you, my family’s Christmas tree has a very eclectic look. We have ornaments I’ve bought the kids each year, we have ornaments that were given to us, and ornaments the kids have made. Each one is a memory of a Christmas past. As much as I love it, I’d really love to have a Christmas tree that has an all soft color palette, with lots of texture, {Read More}
Repurposed Bread & Cake Pans
July 9, 2013 by 12 Comments
I’m always on the lookout for old metal baking tins and have found quite a few of them recently, so I created a few projects with them. I added 2 loaf pans and a coat hook to this antique lawn mower handle. I love these old handles. I’ve found several of them, and they usually have some kind of brand typography on them and the wood has been really pretty on all of them. The loaf pans had the perfect {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}
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.
