Treasures in White

Lately I've been on a "white" kick!  I will join in the party at Kathleen's today and show you some of the things I have found or "fixed" lately.  I painted this once gold candle stick white.

The napkin rings and milk glass dish were GW finds.


White dishes and white placemats in a valentine table setting.

 Just brought this table into the sunroom today.  It was dark brown and all scratched but 3 coats of white spray paint made a big difference.  The bowl and pitcher belonged to my husband.  The rabbit was bought at a consignment shop a couple of years ago.  

BTW, does anyone know the correct name for the table above?  I bought it at an antique store.

 The milk glass vase was found in an antique shop this past Sunday.  Got it for $2.50, half price on everything in that booth!  I think it is so pretty!
 I'm sure everyone recognizes the DT birds painted white.  I will post about the silver dish soon.  I found it this past Saturday.  Love it.  It has interesting markings which I will post about in a day or so.


This white planter was a recent consignment shop find.  I think it is so pretty.


Please come over to the party at Faded Charm.  You will be most welcome!  Thanks Kathleen,  for hosting1

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. ...
