This is the kind of project that starts with huge doubts, but I end up in love with the finished product. A friend was packing up and cleaning out her mother’s house after she relocated and asked if I would be interested in any of the things they were getting rid of. Honestly, I think […]

Vintage Porch Spindle Snowmen
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. […]

Restyled Rocking Horse
Whew! Christmas is over. It’s been several months of constantly crafting for shows, gifts and articles. Not to mention planning for the next show, attending shows, Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, baking, preparing for Christmas day and dinner. It seems kinda strange to wake up the day after and not have a huge list to tackle […]

Kids’ Western Table and Chairs Restyle
This cute little set would be perfect in a child’s room, but would also blend well in other living areas of your home. It didn’t start out that way though… This was a junk find I picked up this summer. The surface looked like a child had scribbled just about everywhere with markers. I’m thinking […]

Restyled Western Table and Chair
I acquired these two gems in two different places, but they just seemed to go together. The table was an auction find. I’m not sure what the finish of this table looked like when it was new because it had already gone through a makeover of sorts. I am sure it was painted by a […]
What can you do with a pile of old scrap lumber? Make rustic tables suitable for indoor or outdoor decor. This table is 24 inches wide by 36 inches long and stands slightly below 18 inches. Perfect for a coffee table, but the dimensions of this design can easily be changed for taller or smaller […]

DIY Shabby Chic Desk Transformation
This desk was pretty rough, but I have definitely restyled worse. I am pretty sure the man at the yard sale thought I was nuts. He couldn’t imagine it was salvageable so he sold it to me for a dollar. Yep, one dollar. One of the drawers needed to be put back together, it was […]
DIY Shabby Chic Trunk Lid Coffee Table I love, love, love the way this turned out! Yep, if you read my previous post you have already seen this photo. That was a collection post of various projects I had made for an upcoming craft show. Now that the show is over I have time to […]
Western Style Frame Crosses Cowley’s Outdoor Market is this Saturday (April 22) at Wilson Park in Arkansas City, Kansas. Come join me! Yep, I’m taking the plunge into an outdoor/spring show once again. I know this will surprise those of you that know me well. Outdoor shows are unpredictable because weather usually doesn’t cooperate. It […]
I was going through some old files and found several tutorials I had yet to post on my blog. While I had posted about this when I crafted it, the “how to” was an old Yahoo article of mine…with a link that is no more. That was almost 5 years ago! I am rectifying that […]
