I see projects

Mom and I visited a Habitat Re-Store today and, well...

This is a shot of my trunk after we unloaded mom's treasures. Yes - I'll share with you what all this becomes!

Bulletin Board Makeover

I found this previously loved bulletin board today.  It's the inexpensive type that are always natural-colored wood and cork.  Lucky for me this one had been painted white and a nice wire hanger had been added to the back.

I added some linen-look fabric with white undertones, a ribbon across the top, a small wire across the ribbon and a couple of sweet little embellishments on the wire.

I really feel like being Candice Olsen right now and saying "how divine".

Here's your sign!

Hope you have all had a wonderful Saturday!  We are still experiencing fabulous weather here in North Texas.

I seem to have collected several pieces of wood just waiting to be made into signs.  So...I've been working on a few small signs.  Take a look:

The oval signs are just under 10 inches wide.

The green one is about 13 inches wide and I added a fleur de lis hook.

I have more wood waiting for me so stay tuned for additional completed signs!

White Pumpkins

I must admit I've never really been a fan of the little white pumpkins.  In the past I've just wanted to say "c'mon people, pumpkins are supposed to be orange!".  But that has all changed and I'm LOVING the white pumpkins this year!  If you are still on the fence check out these amazing photos from Raised in Cotton.

Here's my favorite


Enjoy this beautiful Fall weather and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Fall is in the air

The weather was gorgeous this weekend!  Both boys had baseball and it was so nice to be outside. 

I didn't have much time for projects this weekend, but did manage to complete a few small things.

Hopefully these items will be finding their way to a new home soon!

Plain Jane Table

A dear friend of mine was moving and had several items she no longer needed.  She gave me this sweet little plain jane table.

I used Mod Podge to apply herringbone wrapping paper to the top.  I attached a frame to the top for a little added definition.  Then I added an old, shabby key hole plate.

Not so plain jane anymore!

Blog Makeover

So...I've learned a little bit about Blogger over the last month but I decided to turn to a professional for a new template design.  I learned about Designer Blogs from a fellow blogger.  They are so easy to work with - you get started online and then make revisions with your designer via e-mail. 

I think it's a nice change - what do you think?
