New projects!

hi! I spent today putting new light fixtures over the master bath vanity.  I forgot to take a before pic but I have some from before we bought the house. I will post one very soon! I have to finish some drywall patching and paint touch ups, then when it is gorgeous I will share. Working on some other things in the Master too. New peel and stick tiles for a budget improvement and some new stain on the vanity and who knows what else!!!

Puttin a little spring air in the house!

I repainted this little guy after finding him for a dollar at the Goodwill. He was looking a little drab in his navy blue country vegie look so I brightened him up for Spring:)

This is my early spring mantle display.

I will keep you posted on a few more little projects I am cookin' up!

just a little sumpin' sumpin'

I wanted to share a few more projects I have been working on!

This little wreath is actually just an old embroidery wreath I picked up at a garage sale for 75 cents. I tied tulle on in alternating black and white bunches then added a bit of red and a big red felt flower. It still needed a little something so I added the B for our last name. In polka dots of course since that is my current obsession!

These little cuties are cupcake stands I made from some old dollar store candlesticks I already had. I picked up some little wooden plaques at the  craft store and glued them on with some fix all. Then primer and spray paint and I glued on some crft paper I found that is a great match to my contact paper I use for everything. You can see it under the cutting board here. Then I gave each one several coats of triple thick crystal clear spray on glaze. Now for some red velvet cupcakes to go on top!

Here is this little cutie. I made him from a pic I saw on Pinterest. Here he has jelly beans inside but I quickly switched to bubblegum so I would stop eating all the jellybeans!

Y'all come back to see what trouble I get into next!

How to spend a rainy day in the garage painting furniture!

ok, so last time I mentioned I was repainting the kitchen island but it wasn't going well. Here is the picture of it not going well. I got the coat of green on with black drawing attention to the circle detail. But I hated it once I did it. So I painted it back to plain ceam and spray painted the handles black. I am still planning to change them but haven't found any I really liked yet.

here is a better shot of the handles and the rubbed glaze

This is my 10 dollar garage sale coffee table I repainted. It was yellow with honey oak top and drawer pulls. I thought it looked a little 90's dated so I gave it a few coats of cream and then spent hours rubbing in this glaze until I thought it looked right. I was going to replace the pulls with metal ones but then realized after banging my foot on it that the wood ones were gentler on my body parts. So I just spray painted them with some hammered metal paint.

I have been up to several other projects so come back to see what else I have been staying busy with lately!
