Switching Tables

I've been wanting a side table of some kind in my dining room.  I looked a couple of places on my lunch hour yesterday, but decided to just move things around at home and place a "hall cabinet" in the dining room.

This cabinet was in the breakfast nook.  It fit the spot perfectly, so it is now in the dining room.

 I placed several pieces of milk glass, a lamp from Kirklands and other thrift finds on the table.  The picture was already there.  I really like the coziness this added to the dining room.

I moved the "sofa" table from the guest room to the breakfast nook.  I had it there once before and really liked having the extra space for serving.
 Everything on the table is a thrifty find.  The lamp is about 30 years old, purchased with S&H green stamps.  The shade was found in an antique shop.

 This tower shelf unit was in a corner in the dining room, but now resides in the powder room.  It is a great place to store extra tissue, etc.  I'm liking it in there.

The table above found a home in the guest room.  It was previously in the powder room.  It blends in well in here and leaves more floor space than the previous one. 

As you can see, I pulled the old switcheroo, but I'm happy with where things are now.....at least for a while!


I am linking to Table Top Tuesday over at Marty's.  Please come by for a visit!

  3. Rearranging furniture is like buying new stuff. I always think why didn't I put it there before. LOL By the way, good old S&H green stamps or Blue Chip stamps....wasn't that fun days. Saving them, looking through thier books, and finding what you could get. How times have changed. Ask anybody under...say 45 and they wouldn't know what you were talking about. Thanks for the memories

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. ...
