Shopping at Home Goods

My hubby and I decided to take a day trip and go to a unique food store about 60 miles from us.

Well, on the way I decided I would like to go to a Home Goods Store, not very far from the food store.  So we did.  I honestly, could have stayed in there all day.  It was in the building with TJ Maxx.  I didn't even look at the clothing, the home items, kept me mesmerized for quite a while.

I did good though, I only bought two items for about $14.00.  Next time I go, I don't plan to be so good!!  :)

Here is what I bought.  This sweet wood box with rope handles, and this wonderful chalk rooster that looks like it has rust spots!  Isn't it neat?  I liked the size of it, and the unique look.  I've gotten rid of some of my rooster things, but couldn't resist this one.  It would look good outside too.




Using the box and rooster, I made a pretty vignette for the coffee table.






They had these boxes in different sizes and several colors.  This one was only around $5.00, and I love the size of it.  It works great on the coffee table.

Do you shop at *Home Goods?  I can't wait to go back!  *(not an affiliate)

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. ...
