Shabby-Antiqued Cupboard This cupboard was a find my youngest son brought home to me. It had fabulous bones, but it was very blah. Just perfect for a restyle. I started with a layer of light green paint, then continued with several coats of white. I sanded it into yummy, shabby chic submission. I knew I […]

Patriotic Funky Chicken Sometimes you just gotta let your funk fly. I haven’t done anything with albums since I made my snowmen signs last year, but my pile of vinyl has been calling. A couple coats of tan paint created the background and then a line traced horizontally across the record, just above the center […]
Octagonal End Table Restyle This little gem was found at a yard sale this past weekend. It was quite a score as they were practically giving it away. Why was it such a score? Well, it was barely standing on its own. It had missing screws and screws that very loose. It also had a […]
Scrap Wood Shamrock Signs This project really took on a life of its own. I sell lighter, smaller things on Etsy, mainly because bigger, heavier things are more expensive to ship. So what do I do with the furniture and wood things that I make when I am not doing craft shows?…I sell them on […]
I have drooled over other blogs with beautiful grain sack pillows, but I have never been lucky enough to find a good deal on the sacks. I have never found them at auctions or yard sales, so I regularly check Ebay for affordable listings. No such luck. Ebay has plenty of listings, just not at […]
Western Revival If anything needed revived, it was this nightstand. The paint color and application was…um…interesting. Now I can’t say I don’t like green, after all, I just used a similar shade on the eaves of my shutter birdhouses, but this shade did not appeal to me. Actually I cursed this awful paint color as […]

Recycled Blue Jean Patch Pillow
Recycled Blue Jean Patch Pillow Another no-cost, quickie gift idea. Yep, I always have an over-abundance of old blue jeans. I’ve tried purging them, but they just seem to breed on their own. This project used six blue jean squares for the front and I cut apart a leg to use as one piece for […]
Ironing Board Snowmen I just love a clean barn. I have been able to find so many treasures I had forgotten I had. 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 […]

New Projects for Fall Craft Shows
I’ve been painting and restyling gazillions of things for a craft show this weekend. Restyled Junk (Kro Crafts) will be at “Fall Into The Holidaze” at the fairgrounds in Winfield, Kansas this weekend. Admission is free and there is lots of convenient parking. Lots of stuff came out of the barn for transformation. This vanity/end […]
