I am pretty sure that if this can be saved anything can!

I began this project with a broken drawer from an antique toolbox that I had once made into a  toolbox garden. 

I'm excited to have finally found a hutch that is
perfect for trying out Miss Mustard Seed paint on a large piece of furniture for the first time.

This little piece was even tossed out by the church. Out to the curb it went  until we came along that is...

When I opened a new room at the antique store, to celebrate I created a canvas open sign for my room.

Once again my morning walk was beneficial in more ways than one...

The last grocery listI made was pinned 3K times and sold in about a minute!

Recently I collected a great bunch of cast-offs.

In the summer I love all things nautical, it comes from living near the beach.

This woven thrift store tray with a coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Old White and dry brushed with Pure White just screamed beachy to me.

I used a product called Omni Gel which I used once before to add a transfer to a galvanized steel pitcher.
I printed out an image on a laser printer. No need to flip the image, I coated the top of the paper with 2 heavy coats of Omni Gel. One coat going in one direction, let it dry, and the 2nd coat in the other direction.

When the paper was co…

Every once in a while I find something that just makes me say yay in the middle of the store!

What do I do with a pile of vintage doilies passed to  me from my grandmother?

I bought a new saw that cuts metal and it opened up a ton of new possibilities for my projects.

I painted my front door with Front Door Paint  by Modern Masters this morning!
I'll show you the before, the after,  and let you know how it went!  


I began by choosing a paint color from a rainbow of 24 beautiful colors that are based on the Emotional Color Wheel - and I decided to go wild! 



My front door has been green, red, and most recently... black.
Today I'm feeling sunny! 



I wanted a new look, something bold and beautiful. 

Something out of the box for me.

I chose bright yellow... "Optimistic" to be exact.

Modern Masters has this great phone app for both iPhone and Android that you can download. 

You just take a picture of your front door and  try out the colors on your own door to see how it would look.

Here is how mine looked on the app before I even got the paint.


Pretty dar…

Another fun idea from the Country Living Fair.

A found set of red arrows gave me a great idea...

Today is another fun vintage cheese grater project. 

On a rainy Fourth of July on the East coast,

Home Depot has these $4.00 round, wooden cut circles.

These galvanized steel watering cans were not vintage... cute but needed some help.
