My sister gave me this book several years ago and when I saw this project my heart skipped a beat. I instantly started collecting items to make a salvage chandelier of my own. It takes a lot of bling to reproduce this thin. So, I forgot about it UNTIL, last night while cleaning my basement I uncovered the items that I started collecting to make this awesome beauty. Now I plan to continue my search and get started on this project! Yea!

These photos were taken of an Retro airstream that was on display at the Country Living Fair that I attended in Columbus, OH last weekend. I so want this precious camper in my backyard to use as my secret hide away!

This is a sweet little side table that has been sitting in my garage just waiting to be rescued. I painted it and it turned out cute but, a bit to bright. So I aged it with dry brushing some burnt umber over it and now I am pretty happy with the way it turned out! P.S. The table cloth was a weekend find and I looooove it!

This is a large RaVeN that I found over the weekend and I think he looks lovely sitting under my cloche!!!!

Repurposed Base Board Project & A Few Garage Sale Finds Redos!

I apologize for being MIA, my computer monitor went out along with my ipod touch and air conditioner. Thank God the air conditioner was only a $200.00 dollar fix. I am using my daughters computer monitor and I have to unplug it every time I want to use it. I haven't taken the touch in but, I am hoping it is an easy fix. The screen went black???? Onto better things, I purchased some old floor molding and this is what I have been making out of it! Hanging flower vases! I used a 12 inch piece of molding, painted it, and attached an old vintage bottle with 18 gauge wire and VIOLA you have an instant flower vase.

I found these two beauties at the GW. They were already painted a darling light pink. Unfortunately, the pink did not show up very well in my pics. They were absolutely darling except for the hideous seat covers.

So, I ran through the skirt isle and found this hip and happening print that would fit the seats perfectly.

After!

I have always loved chicks and hens and a very sweet person gave me these to me and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them. I planted them in an old kitchen strainer and placed them in the garden on an old school chair. To sweet!

Finally, this is a little cabinet that I picked up over the weekend and I simply sanded and painted it!

Take care!
