New Table for the Powder Room

In a recent post, I showed you the sofa table I painted and moved to the dining room. As we all know, when you move one thing, it causes a domino effect. I had placed an old crate in the powder room to hold a lamp, and extra tissue, etc., because I wanted the table that was in there for a night stand in my bedroom. If you're lost, that's o.k.

I was in a favorite consignment shop for some retail therapy, when I spotted this gorgeous little table on sale for $29.99. I really, really tried to walk out without it, but if there is one thing I've learned, when I see something I really want, I will think about it until I go back and get it. So....I just went ahead and bought it, (to save myself a trip back), and I love it!!

It is a lovely distressed, aqua color, with a glass top, and is some type of metal! I love the scrolls, and it adds a touch of elegance to the powder room.

The basket beneath holds extra tissue.

It's the perfect size for the powder room, and the small lamp I painted, goes with it just right! By adding a colorful cloth, and floral arrangement, it brings spring to the powder room.

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. ...
