Something New for the Hall Tree

We spent last week at the lake house, and on Saturday, I finally paid a visit to a couple of nice shops in our small town there. The shop where I found my new treasure is called Magnolia Maven. Cute shop, with lots of great vintage, antique, and some consignment items, and sweet owner.

My treasure at $24.00 is this lovely vase! When I saw it, I knew it would look beautiful on the hall tree.

Isn't it pretty? I just love the birds, and y'all know the spring look I have going on right now (see it here), so this is a wonderful addition.

I already had the tulips, greenery, and the "stick vines" so I filled the vase with those.

I changed the runner on the hall tree to the aqua one with pink flowers.

I kept the olden lamp, added a picture of the husband and me on our wedding day, two aqua Michael's birds, and called it done.

It reflects beautifully in the hall tree mirror.

Hope you enjoyed seeing this lovely vase, and the spring vignette.

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. ...
