Window Blues!

No comments  
My friend Gail shared with me another project that she completed. Did I ever tell you that she is one talented lady? She is.


Anyway, she had an old window just hanging outside on her back porch for decor. It blew down in a huge wind storm that we had and Gail took the opportunity to change it up while it was down.

Here is the original window. Cool huh?

Gail said that she painted the window to

Lyre Back Chairs

Finished a rebirth on these two lyre back chairs today and took them to my antique mall booth.

I fell in love with this fabric from Hobby Lobby. Someone will give them a new home.

Happy Sunday, everyone ... it's going to be a gorgeous Fall day here in South Carolina ... hope you're enjoying fabulous weather, too!  I'm taking a break from my "magic trick" kitchen project, and thought I'd share our Fall mudroom.

This is our little space where I add a bit of Halloween, too.


Jax loves our little mice (bought last year at Michael's).  His art is displayed on the walls, too, which makes me smile:


Command central has a few Halloween guests, too:


Meet Beatrice, the good witch who sits perched on her stool, while a mice is about to be "Boo'd" in the background:


Isn't she cute?


A tray holds canisters of yummy treats (which have been dug into quite a bit!), along with Halloween rings and scary spiders for Jax and the neighborhood kiddos to take when they want:


The soffit is a mix of birds, raffia and pumpkins ... oh my!






A simple grapevine swag with big ol' bow hangs from our farmhouse chalkboard:


Picture wall with a few more Halloween accents:




Love the "folkish" pumpkin men I found last year at HomeGoods:


And, like my Halloween wall art?  It's actually a door mat I found at Dollar Tree that I simply attached to the wall with command strip tape:


Well, please say good-bye to Mr. Mouse who is heading back into his house, while I head back into the garage to continue my kitchen project!


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Come party with me at these fabulous parties:

Haley's Night Stand

It's funny...life.


Things happen and then they come back around again.

What am I talking about?

A couple of years ago, someone gave me four wooden finials. She new that I re-purposed things and might have a use for them.

Fast forward to garage sale season. I found this night stand...and I knew I could make it into something fun but I hated the legs and drawer knob. Out went the knob and off

Teacup Candelabra

No comments  
My friend Gail shared with me the sweetest candelabra that she made with various teacups and crystals. Music to most of our ears...teacups and crystals!

I didn't ask how she did it, but I assume that she already owned the wooden form or if I know her, found it at a thrift store and painted it white. She then probably glued the cups on each stand and added the crystals to each handle on the cups.
