Jewelry Display

Hi all!!! Hope your all having a fabulous summer!! Mine has been flying by!! I am not sure where time is going but it's almost AUGUST!! I truly can't believe it. I will stop rambling about how sad I am that it's almost August and share with you what I have created.
I picked up this cup holder from a garage sale the other day. I knew that I had already had one displaying some of my vintage coffee cups in my kitchen so I wanted to think up another use for this. I decided to paint it pink, one of my favorite colors lately, and decided to display some of my jewelry on it. It makes a great holder for displaying some of your favorite pieces and those pieces that you might wear more frequently that you don't feel like digging for!! Have a great day!!

Numbers, Numbers, Numbers!

Good morning everyone!!  Hope today will be a great day for you.....Today, I want to share a table make-over with you.  Here's the before picture...quite ugly, dirty and frankly, nothing special.

I gave it a good cleaning and then painted a coat of Kilz primer on it.  After the primer dried, I chose a shade of gray, which took two coats.  I then used my cricut machine and cut out many number stencils.  I used contact paper to create the number stencils.  I'm telling you it works GREAT!!!  I painted the numbers in yellow and then distressed the table.  Lastly, I rubbed stain over the table to give it a more distinct look.  Here's the after picture.

 What do you think?!

Updated Basket

Good morning everyone!  Hope your doing well.....  I was just looking at the calendar and wondering how is summer going by SOOOO fast?!  I just want to sloooow down time...can't we just for a bit???  Summer is my favorite time of the year.  I love the bon fires, camping, boating, smores, summer evenings, ice cream runs and everything else that is associated with summer....

I recently found this small little basket that could by used for a variety of things.  Here is the before picture of it.....

I basically just dry brushed a light layer of aqua paint on it.  I like how it turned out but I really love how little time it took to transform the look of it.  Here's the after picture....

Have a great day.....and if you're reading....ThAnKs!!!

Number Three Stool

Hi guys!!  It's a great day here in good 'ole Michigan.....sun is shining....and I'm sitting on my deck enjoying summer to the fullest!!  Tomorrow my son and I are headed north to enjoy my parent's cottage which is on a small inland lake....it's the best!  I've been enjoying the summers up there since I was ten and now I get to see my son enjoy it too.  He loves to leave for the lake and hates to come home....We're going for a couple of days and it's supposed to be hot...so there's no better place to be.

I found this little stool at a local garage sale.  I have a thing with stools...they can be used for so many things......plant stands, extra seating, night stands, and etc.  Here's a before picture.

I gave it a coat of primer and then two coats of a light green paint.  I distressed it around the edges and then added a number three to the top of the stool.  Here's the after picture.

Have a great Sunday!  If your reading....ThAnKs!!

My Front Door........

Hey it's Thursday again and I really have a simple idea to blog about.  I found this old frame made out of carved wood at a garage sale or rather I should say my husband found it. Nothing had to be done with it or at least I didn't think so.  I loved the white color and it was already slightly antiqued.  I thought and thought about where I should use it and I thought "what about my front door?!"  I was slightly tired of wreaths and I had already stenciled the word welcome on my front door.  I hung it just above the welcome and ended up loving the way it shows up on my front door!  Please excuse the photo as I got some reflections on the glass.  What do you think?  See you later, Dianne.......
