Favorite Finds for 2014

Here are my favorite consignment finds from 2014.

Great rooster tray. It holds napkins, S/P, etc., on the breakfast table.

This container of greenery. Perfect for the top of the china cabinet.

I found the picture above, and the plate, and added them with the other items I already had, for an Easter vignette.

My favorite find ever is this wonderful tablecloth. They had two at the time I bought this one, don't know why I didn't buy both!!

I found two of these pillow covers. I used them to tie this room together once it was repainted.

I bought the picture above and the one below from a thrift shop I visited with my sister. I think I got both for around $5.00 total.

Miniature pitcher

Colorful plate.

Shower Curtain, eventually made into window curtains.

I can't forget this awesome chair with its intricate carvings and needlepoint seat, for $15.

Found at Wal Mart, this wonderful quilt for the master bed at the lake house.

Metal aqua flower vase

Valance for the powder room

This picture was found recently and matches the den furnishings perfectly.

I scaled way back on my purchases during 2014. I was sick for several months, and didn't have the energy to shop, plus there's the fact that I DO. NOT. NEED. TO. BUY. MORE!!

Hope you enjoyed seeing my favorite finds. Come back in a few days to see favorite projects completed in 2014.

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. ...
