Movin' Right Along!

Poof! Here it is into August already! It's been a busy summer trying to keep my space filled up and here's some new things that I've been working on .....

BEFORE

Oak TV cabinet 

AFTER

 

 

I painted the cabinet white, added bead board to the back, and an old church hymnal rack on the side to hold olive oil decantors, cookbooks, and dish towels! I put it on casters for ease in moving it around. It could easily be used as a kitchen island or for extra storage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a trash rescue! It was missing a couple of rungs, which I replaced with chair spindles from my wood stash. I added burlap from a coffee bean sack for a new seat covering. It's useful once again!



A plain small wood accent table is transformed into a charming painted beauty! The carved rose decor around the edge is ehanced by light distressing. A French postal graphic from the Graphics Fairy sets off the table top.

Can't you just feel the moist salty air on your face? Everyone should have a beach house! I used an old knotty pine cabinet door for this sign and heavily distressed vintage boat colors to give it a weathered look.



 

 

I'll be working of this little wooden rockin', buckin' horse. I'm thinking that it will be perfect for some tiny cowboy or cowgirl. I'll have AFTER photos in the next post. I promise!

 

Here's a BEFORE picture:

I love old windows! I love the diamond pattern on this one. The window was in really good condition - all it needed was a little cleaning. I added the vinyl lettering that I had in my stash to make it more special.

 





I did several more projects in a rush to get put into my space and in my haste, I failed to take the time to photograph them! That's what I get for trying to hurry things up!! Those pieces have already been sold!

"Haste makes waste" - my Mom used to say. I guess she was right - this time!

Make the best of YOUR time!!

Until next time ...............
