New Color For Me

It's a bit dreary outside today

in Florida.. still warm, so,

no complaints.. just a good

day to get a couple crafty

projects done..

I picked this little 1/2 side table

up at Renningers Extravaganza

a couple of weeks ago:

Very cute.. and very sturdy.

Just not liking the stain color..

not at all!

So.. off to Lowes I go!

I decided I'd try a new color.

I picked up a quart of

Valspars Notre Dame.

I am really loving this shade!

Isn't it pretty?

From that..                     To this!

The table above and

all these goodies below

are going to my booth at

Traditions Antique Mall

tomorrow..

If you're in the Wildwood area,

I'd love to meet ya!

Hope ya'll are enjoying your day!

Lamp Redo

I picked up this lamp at

a local flea market

a few months ago..

I switched the lamp shade

with this one..

Then painted the lamp white,

added crystals,

and tore strips of

white linen and pink cotton

to get this!

Finds and What I've Been up to..

It's been such a busy month for me.

I've traveled to and back from Michigan

to visit my daughter and my grandson:

His birthday is this month.

I can't believe he's already 4!

And, a wonderful suprize..

My daughter is pregnant

with a girl!!  So, in April I'll

be making another trip up north.

I'm so excited for her and can't

wait for baby Aubrey to arrive.

My brother is also visiting from Germany.

Mr. Ruffles drove down to Ft. Lauderdale

to see him and go out for the evening.

You just know I had to squeeze in

some thrifting and picking

while we were down there too!

I found this amazing set

of antique headboard/footboards:

Yep, there are 2 headboards

and 2 footboards.. a matching twin set!

I also got this antique dresser.

Love the lines and the pulls..

Ok, this one.. I have no idea

what it belonged to or what it

came off of.. but, just look at it!

LOVE!

I can't wait to get started on it.

I can see it hung on a wall

above a bed, or leaned up

on the top of a mantal..

I also made sure I didn't

miss Renningers Extranvaganza

before we left for Ft. Lauderdale.

I was only able to go for a couple

of hours, but, did manage to find

a couple of neat finds like this:

Love the marble base

and the crystals hanging from it!

I'm really hoping I have more

time for the next extravaganza

in February.. last big one until

November.. sigh..

I finally finished this wonderful

childrens rocking chair.

So cute..

But.. you know I had to

fix it up with some Shabby goodness!!

Here's she is.. all pink n pretty:

This one is going up to my booth

at Traditions Antique Mall tomorrow.

You have made my entire year,

Goodwill Chair to Shabby Goodness Chair!

I went to a local Goodwill store

the other day.  As soon as I walked

in the door I spotted this beauty:

Ain't she cute?

Sexy spindle legs,

Curvy arms,

and a seat big enough

to hold my "end result"

of eating too many

Christmas cookies!!

So, I packed her in the truck

and she came home with me.

I sanded her down, bathed her,

gave her a pretty makeover

in Valspars' Swiss Coffee paint,

overstuffed and wrapped her seat

with some gorgeous

Shabby Chic fabric:

And here she is!

Sooo much cuter :-)

CL Hutch Makeover

I went to run some erronds today,

including the post office and the bank.

Am I the only one who didn't know

they were both closed today?  Does

anyone know the reason why? It's not

New Years Day anymore.. it's the 2nd!?

So, that being said, my errond trip was

cut short, and I came back home to

finish up this hutch I've been working on.

I got it a few weeks ago

off of Craigslist..

I just love shopping on Craigslist!!

The hutch was cleaned up, sanded down,

3 coats of Valspar Swiss Coffee

(yes, I still have a love affair with regular ol' paint!)

and shabbied up.. ever so lightly.

Here she is!!

From that...            To this!
