Drawer Fronts

It's almost Friday!! Can I get an amen!

I look forward to slowing down the pace a little as the weekend approaches. 

One of my favorite things to do when junking is to look for things that don't have any real purpose. Something discarded that someone else might pass up. Its part of the challenge to find a new use for something destined for the trash.

On a recent trip out and about I found this beautiful drawer front and knew it still had some life left in it. I loved the color of the wood and the gold worn patina. 

I brought it home and hung it on the wall but it needed a little extra something...

I found a jar with a handle and tied it with some ribbon to one of the drawer pulls and added some hydrangeas. 

I love the way it looks on the wall and the colors are perfect for the fall season!

Do you look for things to use in different ways?? 

I love a good challenge!!

Enjoy your weekend!!

We had a cool front blow in and it sure feels more like fall!

Side Table Transformation

I am getting so excited for the upcoming Barn Sale!

I have been painting and glueing and living in grungy clothes for days it seems like.

I love every minute of it and can't wait to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones. I hope you get a chance to make it out!

While going through my craft drawer digging for ribbon and knobs I found a sample pot of the ASCP they sent me with my order. The color is Country Grey and I started thinking what can I paint with this?? 

Then it hit me, a side table that had been waiting on a little lovin'. Don't you love this paint?

A little goes a long way. I dilluted mine with a little water and I got two tables painted..WOW!

Here is what she looked like before...

And here she is after....

I left the top its original color and just dry brushed the rest and finished with wax

I love how pretty and french she looks sitting in this corner.

I had enough to do another taller table for the other end and for no money I have a whole new look for the room!

Gotta love free!

 We get so much sun coming in these windows during the day. I am trying to decide on curtains and have since hung the bamboo shades in all three windows. I love the texture they add to the room!

Have you transformed anything lately? Its amazing what a little paint will do for something!

Have a beautiful day!!

Baskets

Good Morning Girls!

It's Friday..yeah! That means thrifting and enjoying some time with the family.

While out thrifting a few weeks back I came upon this basket for $1.00 and thought it looked like a wine basket..??

I don't know what it is but I am always drawn to baskets

Maybe its because they are so versatile and I love the texture they add to a room

I had a couple of bottles in my pantry that I had picked up at the PB outlet last year when out shopping with the sis in law

Odds were they may not fit but for $1.00 it was worth the try..

I gathered some other materials...

and as it turns out they fit perfectly!!

I decided against the ribbon because I liked the natural french look

I love it when things work out like that!

Do you have a love for baskets?? What do you use yours for?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend

I am off to thrift again!!!
