More crate love! If you remember my post on the Farmhouse Crates, I had a pile of old crates that needed attention. This produce crate had a cardboard body similar to chip board. Since the chip board was so sturdy I wanted to try and work with it. The chip board was stained so […]

Skinny Side Table-Western Style
Skinny Side Table-Western Style Since my friend passed away my husband has helped to fill the void by doing things with me that she would have done…like looking for bargains.

The recent move reminded me of all the goodies I have in my supplies, like my collection of beads and old jewelry. The […]
New decor for the master bedroom. For my birthday in May, a friend gifted me with calendars that featured sheet music book covers. Even though I have authentic vintage sheet music books, I loved the vibrant colors and pristine graphics of the calendar pages. I had the perfect base for decoupaging a couple of these […]
Old Trunk Restyled They say “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”…hmm…okay, as I show you this project that my oldest son completed you are probably nodding your head in agreement. Well, that statement may be true, but my oldest is my stepson. Not blood-of-my-blood, but I think my turning trash into treasures has […]
I dug out a couple of suitcases from my stash. I have a lot of them that I have bought or acquired for restyling, but some of them have become storage for other craft supplies. I’m slowly trying to change that. This pair was pretty grubby, and I hated the color. The insides were […]
