Spring Tweaking in the Sun Room

I've been Spring tweaking in the sun room where I framed my burlap wreath!!

Have you used the monkey hooks to hang heavy objects in sheetrock? They are wonderful. You only have a hole the size of a straight pin, and they hold really well. The ones I bought hold up to 35 pounds. This heavy frame is no problem for the hook.

This is hanging above the jelly cupboard that belonged to my MIL.

On top of the cabinet, I used this awesome Wielunder table cloth that I ~~stole~~ found at a yard sale a couple years back. The owner obviously didn't know what she had. I gave either 2 or 4 dollars, and they sell for much, much more on ebay.

The Spring sunshine looks so pretty streaming through the windows, and the grass outside is getting rather green!

My plants that have wintered inside in the sunroom are doing well.

I later added some rabbits to the decor to bring in some Easter.

I've also switched to this pink and white gingham tablecloth. Of course it's a consignment shop find!

Have you done any Spring tweaking?

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. ...
