I’m not too far out of season with these vintage porch spindle snowmen. Actually, if you consider we are just getting into the snowy, snowman building time of the year, I am right on time. These snowmen started out as a box of dirty porch spindles my husband found at a garage sale for $4. […]

Snowman Lights Big news for our family! We are moving again. Yep, if you have been a follower for at least a year, you know we sold our home and moved the first part of February. At that time we were limited to rentals that were available. In a small town it wasn’t encouraging. We […]
Snowman Jean Pockets I seem to be seeing snowmen everywhere. Since I’m nearing the end of my craft show crafting for this year I’ve been digging through boxes and drawers for quick inspiration. With one more show, I really don’t need to make a lot of anything. Actually my husband would say I don’t need […]

These two vintage ironing boards were my latest victims…ahem…, masterpieces. 😉 Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of pics. I found them and started working on them right away. Before and after […]

Oh well, no fireplace! I will not despair. Above the entertainment center was festooned with charm. With no mantel, it couldn’t do any harm. […]
Donna may cringe if she sees my results, but I was inspired by her December 5th post on Funky Junk Interiors. I live in a 100+ year-old farm house in the Midwest. The rooms are small, and I don’t have a fireplace. My entertainment center (predictably) serves as my living room’s focal point. I use […]
