Hearts & Cupids in the Entry

I've added a touch of Valentine's décor to the entry without spending any money. A touch of red is always welcome during the dreary months of winter.

This table once belonged to my paternal grandmother, was painted a dark brown, with coat after coat of paint underneath. Now it has a coat of ASCP Olde White with heavy dark wax to make it have more of a natural look. I painted grain sack stripes on it some time ago, but today I have covered the table with a runner which can be used either for Christmas or Valentine's since it is white with gold cupids and stars.

I've had this cupids with gazing ball for a very long time, from Kirkland's.

The runner, from consignment sale.

A velour heart box, once filled with chocolates.

A heart shaped vase with DT roses.

Simple collection of items I already had, come together for a sweet Valentine's display.

Look around your home and see if you can come up with a display for little to no money.

It will brighten your day!!

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. ...
