Junk Drawers

Another curbside find that certainly has seen better days. A little paint goes along way.

Since the top drawer was broken I created a shelf that now holds a basket for all your junk.

Some sweet birdies on the top

This would be great in any room.

Prom Night

My daughter looks so grown up and beautiful for Prom! Have fun girls!

Proverbs 31:16

I recently had a request for another custom sign. It turned out fabulous! It is a gift from one friend to another, I am sure she will love it.

Quick Makeover

I picked up this small display/shelf? Not exactly what it was used for, it was missing the actual shelf part. I am guessing they were glass. It was a lovely gold color (forgot to take a picture before I painted it black)Cut some luan to fit
Painted it all black. Now it is a perfect display for some of my white pitchers.
Thanks so much for all the great advise on my dining room! I am definitely gonna beef up the chair railing, I never even thought of that. Still not exactly sure on the color but I will share the outcome soon.

Color Help

I painted my dining room below the chair rail and added this damask stencil. Now I am stuck on what to do on top. I need your suggestions! Do I go with the same color (the kitchen is this color too, I wanted to tie the rooms together as they are connected by a large island) or would that be too much? Go with white? Cream? I just am not sure.

Birthday Girl

This sweet girl turned two last week. (not Makayla chocolate lab, Lacey)

Her mama got her a sign.

Wood Chandelier

The other day I was reading Chez FiFi's blog, which is always so inspiring. I saw this old wood chandelier she picked up in France. I feel in love with it immediately. You can see it in the borrowed photo below. Since I am not going to France anytime soon I created my own.Using table legs and spindles we (meaning Chris) assembled this.
Had a few leftover crystals that work perfectly.
So happy with they way it turned out. How beautiful it will be lit up at night in the garden.

Refurbished Headboards

I was super excited to see Funky Junk Interiors Saturday Night Special's theme was refurbished headboards. You can find discarded headboards everywhere and the uses are endless. My favorite is to use them as a canvas for a sign or artwork. The one below hangs in my yard and makes a wonderful art piece.

Another one I had painted.

Of course they make great benches. This one is my all time favorite.

I love the red of this one.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down,

his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls

and has no one to help him up!

Lets Go For a Walk

This is Pine Bush Road, we walk this road as much as possible. There are a lot of hills but you feel so great after walking them. Enjoy!
