Best Bargain Ever!!!

I'm still pinching myself to see if it's true!!  I bought the MOST. WONDERFUL. halltree today at the Hen's Nest Consignment Shop!!   I really do need to stay out of there, but I would have never forgiven myself if I hadn't bought this beautiful piece!

I first saw this piece a couple of months ago when it was priced at $225.00.  The price wasn't that much really, but I'm very cheap frugal, and couldn't make myself spend that amount!

A couple weeks ago, it went to $125.00, and I still passed it up, even though I visited it everytime I went to the shop.

Yesterday, I saw it on their FaceBook page for........$89.99!!!!!   Yes, that's right, $89.99!  I just knew it would be gone before I could get there, but my daughter and granddaughters and I went down this morning, and drove the truck, "just in case".

It was still there, so it was a sign, y'all, it was to come home with me!  While I was making up my mind for sure, a lady called wanting it!!  No way, so I told the owner, "I'm buying it"!!    I'm so excited!!

I've had a table in my foyer ever since we built the house....now I have a hall tree!!


BEFORE

This table now resides beside my bed to hold my cpap, and all the paraphenalia!!

In its place........
AFTER

I am so happy with this!  It's the very first thing you see when you enter the front door!  So much better than the table, and it fits the narrow wall perfectly!!  


I also bought the picture on it.  




This was only $14.99.

This shows the bottom of the hall tree.  Isn't it pretty?  It looks like there is a drawer, but it is just a drawer front.



Closeup of the items I chose to decorate it.  The lamp was my late MIL's, as was the silver coffee pot.

View when you step through the front door.  The door to the left goes to the office, guest suite, and down to the basement.




I switched the plant on the bottom to this fern which leaves more space around it, and shows off the bottom better.


The top has crown and dental molding.  Here's a close up.




So, what do you think?  Did I get the deal of the century or what????

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. ...
