Bookcase Shuffle

My favorite spot to sit directly faces the fireplace and bookcases.  So, I'm sitting here BORED this morning, and decided I needed to change my view a little.  I removed everything from the bookshelf, dusted, and gave this bookcase a little makeover.  I love the sewing drawer I painted a while back, so I moved it to the bookcase so I can see it.  All I did to decorate it was add a doily and these sweet pink flowers.
I just adore this drawer.   


Here you can see two of the shelves.
 Not only can I enjoy the drawer, I can see three cloches each holding a bird.


I love this color of pink.  It provides a bright focal point.
I placed this little bird on an egg, in this pot that holds a nest with eggs.
Such an easy change, no cost, and more bright and cheerful.

What have you shuffled around recently?

    Sometimes I change it up and put it all back the next day. I still envy your sewing drawer! I have to paint mine and add an applique. Your stuff shows up so much better in the white one.

    This looks great! Sometimes we look at something for so long, we stop really seeing it. Your cloches looks so pretty together and I love your black hurricane.

    Have a great week!

    I do luv your sewing drawer as well.
    Like you, I was sitting here looking about, fighting a cold I'm afraid :-( and as I sat I got up to tweak... well one thing led to another and I played musical decor all morning. Such fun to move stuff about and keep things fresh.
    Cheers, Gee

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. ...
