Fireplace Mantal

Happy Weekend ya'll! Finally!

I say finally because finally Mr. Ruffles
has some extra time to get my finished
projects up in the house..

I'm so excited to show you!!

First is a fireplace mantal I found off
of Craigslist, for only.... $50!
I drove about 45 miles to go get it, once
I got there we tried to fit it inside the back
of my SUV.. but, it wouldn't fit.

Not to worry, I have rope and bungy cords!
I was bound and determined to get this sucker home.

We ended up tying it to the top of my truck:


I had to drive all the way home
on one of the busiest streets in the area
going only about 30 - 35 mph.
(yep, I recieved several honkers
and a coupe middle fingers too!
Didn't care... I was getting it home!)

Here it is, off of the top of my truck
and in the garage ready for me to start:


All sanded down:


And, now.. finally finished and in my home:














LOVE!!

I also wanted to share with you
a couple of pictures of the chandy
I finished. 

It's finally hung up in the dining room:



I hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

For me, it's back to the garage now.
We're cleaning it.. oh fun! NOT!

  3. $50.00...how did I miss that one??? Great find and a wonderful transformation. It looks great in your home. Did you find a little white tree?

  4. Denise, it was originally $100 (which is still a great deal) but, I kept my eye on it and it wasn't selling for about 2 weeks. I emailed and offered $50. They accepted. Soooo happy!
