Two Plaque Transformations

I bought these two plaques from a yard sale last summer for 50 cents each I think. I also have one more I haven't done anything with yet. I spray painted the sides and then glued on some pictures from old calendars. I just dabbed a little hot glue on the corners. On the rooster one, you can see I cut him out and then used scrapbook paper as the background. I love cheap little projects like these that give me instant gratification. I'll admit patience is not one of my virtues! Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I thought I'd better show the rest of my Valentine's Day decorations since it is almost here. Hope y'all have a great weekend full of fun and love!

Open Kitchen Cabinet with New Fabric

Here is my open cabinet with the red and white checked fabric in the back that I did Fri. night. It doesn't show up like the other swirly busy paper did, but I like it better. I need to get my husband to install some lights on the top 2 shelves or make it so I can put a little lamp on each shelf to brighten things up. I can always think of a new project! Have a terrific Tuesday everybody!

Polka Dot Heart on My Front Door

I have been seeing some cute hearts on people's doors around town so I decided to make one of my own. I drew a heart on a thin piece of scrap wood and my husband cut it out with the jigsaw. I painted it pink and drew dots and painted them red and white. Then I hot glued some black and white checked ribbon to hang it by and now I have a Valentine's Day decoration for my new front door. And the most wonderful thing is I only had to make one 'cause I have just one front door now, not two! Happy Monday to you!

A Little Friday Night Project

I am working on this little project tonight. I am taking the swirly wrapping paper (look at the top shelf) down and putting some red and white checked fabric (look at the second shelf) on the backs of the open cabinet in my kitchen. I was going to go out tomorrow and buy some new fabric, but looked through my stash and found some and decided to go ahead and use it. I would really love some pretty toile wallpaper, but everything I see online is way more than I want to spend. So I'll just use what I already have. Hope you are having a great Friday and will have a fun weekend! I am looking forward to going to some yard sales tomorrow morning!

Iron Piece on Kitchen Cabinet and Some Pretty Fabric

I added this iron piece on the cabinets below the countertop a while back (hope I haven't shared this already) where you walk into my kitchen from the living room. It just looked like something needed to be there. Some people might not want to put holes in their cabinets and I totally understand that, but I put holes where I want and don't worry about it.


I bought this pretty fabric yesterday to make some couch pillows out of it, but now I'm thinking of a kitchen window valance for the Spring/Summer. I love the colors!

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Grandma's Old Hutch Finds a New Home

This old hutch that was my Grandma's has been in storage since 2004 when she passed away. I had always liked it and one day a few weeks ago decided to see if it might work in my kitchen. My Dad brought it over to my house and it fit perfectly and I love it! It has some great display space which is always good since I have lots of plates and accessories. It also has some much needed storage at the bottom which I can never have enough of. At first I thought that it HAS to be painted. But, I am kinda liking the warm wood color since I have so much white in here. I am going to keep it like it is for now. Plus, painting is a big pain and I am not in the mood to do it! I am already looking forward to putting out my cabbage plates and bunnies on it for Spring/Easter. My Mom told me that Grandma would be so pleased that I was using her hutch so that makes it extra special! Have a great Monday!
