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 […]

Summer Wine Glass Coasters
Summer Wine Glass Coasters Okay, these can actually be used any time of the year, but when the weather heats up the glasses sweat badly. Insert the foot of your wine glass inside these “cozy” little coasters and your furniture will be protected. You also don’t have to worry about tips or losing the coaster […]
Rain, rain, go away! This process is taking much longer than we anticipated, in large part because it won’t stop raining. This is where we finally moved my wood pile. When we moved into this house in Nov./Dec., we were trying to beat the bad weather and the wood was piled next to the driveway. […]

Painted Faux Grain Sack Barrel I’ve had this barrel for several years, but since I no longer have a barn to keep it in, it has been in storage. I had used it to store craft supplies in, but moving it into the house in it’s original state was not happening. I like old and […]

I decided to make it a match to the shabby chic iron vanity chair from my previous post. With that in mind, the same painting technique was […]
Shabby Chic Iron Vanity Chair This was another find from my garage sale treasure hunt in Rose Hill, Kansas. I got it for a steal, mostly because it would tip over backwards when someone sat in it. I knew immediately what the problem was. Unfortunately you can’t see what the problem was in these pics […]
Bentwood Cafe Chairs My husband and I found these cute chairs at the Rose Hill, Kansas citywide garage sales. They were in very good shape, but because they were placed on separate sides of the yard, we didn’t realize until we got them home that they were not a matched pair. Close, but no cigar. […]
