Fruit of the Vine

I have used wine/grapes motif in my decorating for the last ten or so years.  I just like the look in decor.  I'm not a wine connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination.  Tonight I will share some of the places where I have used grapes in my home decor.



This grouping is on a wall in the breakfast nook.

This little GW pitcher has been everywhere in the kitchen.  I move it constantly.  Right now it is actually in a glass-front cabinet.

 This little lamp is one of my bargains from Kirklands and sits on the side cabinet in the breakfast nook.

 The vase and plate, pear and apple are also from Kirkland's. 

This grouping of fruit is inside a cloche made from a cheese dome.


This canvas and wrought iron holder contain grapes as well.  This is in the sunroom.
The green bottle in the top  of the  left wine rack is an empty champagne bottle that my former FIL bought to celebrate my late-husband's return from the Viet Nam War in 1969.  It has a special place in my home.


Hope you enjoyed this little tour.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
