Unusual Tables

I have several unusual items I use as tables.  One of them is this old apple crate.  Our home was built where an apple orchard once existed, and this crate was one used by the orchard owner.  I just love this old crate.


Here I used it in the breakfast nook. 


This wall is still decorated with grape motif items.    These items are from Kirklands several years ago.

You may remember the lamp shade cover I made of burlap.

This plant stand is used in the guest bath to hold wash cloths, tissue, and a book.


This little bench is used as a table here.


Here this vintage step stool serves as a table of sorts, holding a floral arrangement.

A chair can be used as a table for a plant to sit or to hold a vignette.

  3. You are so creative. I have a small apple crate...maybe I'll copy you a bit. Your step stool reminds me of one my grandma had next to the door everyone used to use when they put their shoes on and off. I enjoy your blog!

  5. How lucky you are to have that orchard crate. You display it nicely.
    The apple orchards were hit hard this spring with a heavy frost. Not one of our apple trees produced fruit this 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. ...
