Ever-changing Vignettes



Sharing some of the "moves" I've made this week-end.  I'm so  OCD.  Can't leave things alone.  Oh well, that's how some of us roll.  :)  Above is what the dining room table looks like now.  

This is how it looked before.

I changed the vintage table in the sunroom from this:


To this:


I moved this gate replica from one wall to the window area in the sunroom.  I bought this a number of years ago at a store called Grand Harbor Imports.  I love the shabby look it has.




 This table belonged to one of my grandmothers.  It was painted a very dark brown.  I sanded it and repainted it years ago.  I did the ivy stencil also.  I plan to change it soon.  It is on a wall in the foyer so it got re-arranged.
I will be linking to the following parties this week.

    Lovely. Both the before pictures and the after pictures. And after looking at these, I know I'm going to enjoy the "soon to come" arrangements.

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. ...
