~I’m Ready For Spring~

So much so that I grabbed this off of the shelf at GW.LOL It has the faux water in it and the flowers are clean so I thought what the heck, at least they won’t die on me and for 2.99 I couldn’t leave without it:)

The sofa table they are sitting on is one I’m painting for Michele, as you can see I’m not done with it, I brought it into the keeping room but I can’t stain it until we can keep the garage door open. I told her to turn it around when she puts it in her entryway to hide the 90’s scalloped edge.

Below is a lamp I found at GW too, not the shade…I already had that, it seems brand new and I think I paid 3.99 for it. I was looking for a lamp for the guest room, just didn’t like the ball jar lamp anymore.

Those are my sweeties in the pictures, I don’t show them anymore on my blog, I looked up a site and found out that it would be to dangerous to do so, sad huh? I also remember a lady on a forum making a comment that her husband was a cop and she said he just shivers when he sees kids posted….so that was enough for me! Enough of that but I just wanted you to know why I haven’t had them on here:)

Here is the guest bedroom so far, I took alot of prims out such as on the peg rack…I’m looking for a night stand but so far I haven’t found THE one yet, I can’t wait for yardsales to start up around here:)

I finally found a prim calendar from Gatherings for the Home and they are called Pure and Simple Calendars…thanks Cherry, I love it and just hanging it there made the room even more prim:)

Don’t you just love it? Every month the pictures just get better and better, you should see the Oct., Nov., and Christmas:)

Well, I have to stop here…Stush came home and I have to get ready to go out to dinner, I love Fridays!

Have a great evening with family or friends where ever you are, hey, the sun was out all day today and really not quite as cold as it has been:)

~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Hi Friends,
What a cold, rainy day ... I picked Samantha up at preschool and had a sweatshirt on but really should have had a coat too, I was froze, I do not like this type of weather at all, although I do like to wear my boots and jeans. LOL

Well, this is what I've been working on, the little cabinet/cupboard that I bought at a craft show. Yep, I painted it black, distressed it and applied the brown shoe polish, I was going to use the walnut stain but it's to cold for me in the garage and it wouldn't have been dry enough to post today so I went the shoe polish route!
I love it alot better black and looks great in my bedroom with the crocks on top!

Here's another pic of it, the larger crock I won on a forum and the smaller one I had bought at The Country Store.

I even applied the shoe polish to the tin and it sure made a difference, made it look alot more aged then it was.

This is what it looked like before I started...black paint, isn't it wonderful:)

I had redid this find from that consignment shop across from my hairdressers and finally got it hung beside the black shelf above my couch...love it!

I was just sitting here thinking...the shelf cost me $8.00 and the wood pineapple $2.00 ( that I painted) total...$10.00 for both, what an inexpensive prim display!!!

~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Actually I've been working on this room since spring. lol Just doing a little bit here and there, and I'm still not finished. Today I'm painting something to go on one wall so maybe I'll show that next Wednesday. You can see the room before it was painted, Stush painted... I didn't:)

So today I finished my curtains...they are made out of black ticking (heavy fabric) then I added black trim that I bought at JoAnn Fabric, the rusty stars I had already! I had to close the blinds because the sun was shining and the pics weren't turning out to good.

Did I sew them? No, I used a staple gun and tacky glue:) Stush has been out of work since March and buying curtains is just out of the question right now so.....when life hands you lemons you make lemonade! They will do until I can get others but right now I'm really liking them, I wanted this type of curtain since they came out which would have cost me oh, about $80.00, my way I figure I spent $6.00 on both windows...not bad not bad at all:)

I'll show you some pics of how I decorated it...this side is by the double window, the hanging candle light I got in West Virginia, that's the mirror I redid a while back.

The headboard I painted black...the barn red checked pillowcases I found at Goodwill for a $1.00 a piece. The sampler pillowcase I bought at Gabes (discount store) I can't remember how much I paid for it but it's by Ralph Lauren. The sweet simplicity pillow I bought from the lady I always by from at the Crafters Showcase!

This is above my bed!

These are pictures of my grandaughters and me taken at Chuckie Cheese...I still have to get one of Samantha and me, I framed them with frames that I picked up for a dollar.

The nightstand I painted black also it was once white, painted the lamp black too! I tell you I'm dangerous with a can of black spray paint:) My old suitcases and my pennyrug on the rocker.

The other side of the room...the barn red wooden plate to the left on the bench I got from Goodwill for a $1.00 it was from Ikea and I painted it and added the star in the middle

Thought I'd show you my cupboard doors which I love they look brand new don't they? They have been there since 1983! Just goes to show paint can make anything look brandnew;0

Well, I have to go check on my paint job outside, they are calling for rain so I keep checking the sky... Stush will have to help me carry it back into the garage:)

Have a great day!
