These are A Few of My Favorite Things

Today I am sharing a few of the projects I did in 2011.  I put away all the Christmas decorations on Monday since I had to go back to work on Tuesday.  The house feels less cluttered.  On to the projects..............

Put chicken wire in the jelly cupboard.




Painted the wire chicken white.

Tried my hand at using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Wax.

More Annie Sloan

Made this lamp shade cover from burlap and eyelet trim.

Gave this little table a much needed face lift using Annie Sloan Paint.

Spray painted and distressed this old table.

Painted and distressed this candle holder (was brass and UGLY)
Again using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Wax


Again used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to update this mirror, formerly black.

Made a drop cloth table runner trimmed in burlap ribbon.


Guess what I used to update a pair of cupids?  Annie Sloan!

Made a coffee filter wreath.

Changed this chalk topiary from green to white with ASCP.

Looks like I've had a white theme going on.  Love me some ASCP!!!
 Is there any doubt?

Can't wait to see your favorite projects.

    Some of your favorites are also my favorites. I have a chicken wire like yours, and now I know I'll be painting it white. Thanks. Smiles, Cathy

    My goodness girl but you have been busy. You are getting really good with the ASCP! Love your sweet little tables. Love the idea of putting chicken wire on the cabinet doors too. Heck, I love it all!

    Boy, you've really become an ASP expert! All of your projects look wonderful....love that candle holder! I'm actually jealous that you have removed all of your Christmas stuff. It does get a little overwhelming after a while. I can't wait to clean mine up! Have a very Happy New Year!

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. ...
