A New Vignette

I've really been in the mood to change things this week.  I love the bombay chest in my family room and love to change the vignette a lot.  I've had it decorated for Valentines Day but today, I moved some of those things to another display on a book case and came up with this for the chest.  I am enjoying the look of it.

This is the Valentine's vignette.  I know Valentine's isn't here yet and I should probably have left it til then, but I just couldn't. 

I kept some of the items but this is how it looks now.

 

This is a picture I printed from the computer and framed.  I've had the frame and mat for about 12 years and it really looks good with the picture.  The burgundy colors blend with the frame and mat.  The picture is of a donkey pulling a wagon of feed sacks.  I just thought it was so pretty.
Sometimes just the smallest change makes so much difference.  Do you like to change things around?  

These are the parties I will be joining this week:

Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch
Tabletop Tuesday at Marty's
Debbiedoo's Newbie Party.

Please be sure to stop by these great parties. You'll be glad you did!!!

    Great little changes!! Love you pretty picture too! I had to chuckle because the Donkey reminded me of a picture I have seen that is caught up in mid air because his cart is overloaded. It is sometimes how I feel!

    Nice job...I like the atmosphere you created. Unfortunately we recently moved from one country to another and have not that much decorating stuff around, but we are going there. :)

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. ...
