This beautifully painted Grapevine Cross started life at the Thrift Store.

Creating a coffee bar is easier than you think!

Rustic pieces and white Easter decorations work together.

Assembling bits and pieces of broken furniture and found objects is one of my favorite repurposing projects.

You may remember the table that didn't make it?


Today the legs have a new life as part of a jewelry display. My friend Deb from Maake & Co. Jewelry showed me  a picture of a jewelry display she liked.

I knew I could create something similar so I got to work. 
The legs from the old table were perfect for the sides of the display. 

I used bits and pieces from broken things I keep in my workshop.

I painted the piece with MudPaint in Manor White to marry all the parts and give it a cohesive look.  The MudPaint is fabulous, it covers in one coat and there is almost no need for sanding or priming.
I gave the jewelry display a wash of French Linen Chalk Paint over the MudPaint to add age. …

I know it's been done... but here is an easy way to transform an old window into a useful chalkboard.

Everything looks better with chicken wire or hardware cloth...

I was in search of clear vessels and pedestal  dishes for a candy buffet I was planning for  my daughter's Sweet 16 party.

Today's project is one of my favorite finds. This piece started out life as a table base.

You know when a project works and when it  doesn't by how long it sits in the shop...

A lucky find for St. Patrick's Day! 

A recent great find was a batch of enamelware ladles.

I am so happy with this potting bench! 

DIY topiary trees with recycled Mason Jars are so easy to make!

The season is fast approaching for nests, birds, and eggs...

As I sit here on a snow day in March watching the snow pile up on the foot of snow we already have...

Truth be told.... this shutter sat outside for a while... It has a nice, natural weathered patina...

An outdated mug holder becomes a display for ironstone creamers.

I found this table on top of a snow mound at the end of someone's driveway.... I did!
