Chippy Wood and Vintage Plates Wall Display

When my mom and I hung antique Bible pages on my living room walls a few years ago, I used a few illustrated pages on a small strip of wall between the hallway, and a closet.  Although the images were beautiful, I’ve always wished that I hadn’t used them, and just put the regular text pages there instead.  They just look a bit out of place in my living room.  I still have a few pages left from that Bible, {Read More}

Antique Bird Prints

This set of beautiful bird prints both came from a 1920’s bird book, and show birds resting on evergreen branches.  They are perfect for framed art,  and would make lovely greeting cards as well.  I’ve included two printables using one of the bird images, layered over 2 antique postcard images that I previously shared.. {CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW AND PRINT FULL SIZE} This bird is called a Coal Titmouse.

Antique Recipe Card Printable – Baker’s Breakfast Cocoa

What drink pops into your mind, when you think of chilly autumn weather? Yep…I’ll bet you said hot cocoa, didn’t you?! Today, I have a beautiful printable for you, from the early 1900’s. It’s a recipe for breakfast cocoa, that would look lovely printed as wall art, or just print it as a recipe card to save. Enjoy – and stay warm!

Repurposed Book into a Wall Hook

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.

Antique Alphabet Wall Art and Cutting Edge Stencils Giveaway Winner

 Before I talk about the project I am sharing today, I need to make a huge apology.  Almost a month ago, I hosted a giveaway for Cutting Edge Stencils, and I completely forgot to announce a winner.  I’m so sorry!  The giveaway was open for 1 week, and I had a lot on my mind while I was preparing for my parents visit, and it just totally slipped my mind.  The winner is announced at the bottom of this post. {Read More}

Futon Frame turned Chalkboard Shelf

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}

Repurposed Drawers into Wall Shelves

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.
