<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had this wall in our hall way that we used as a coat rack and shoe catch and well it looked pretty drab and it needed an over haul. I decided to use only things I already had - I mean this is really a low cost project...</span></div>

Which means you have to paint it nice and neat, if you don't you'll be see lots of swipes and marks and well I wont be using flat paint again. But it did come out cool and if need be I could use it as a chalk board if I wanted too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Good morning - We recently went on a trip to visit family all the way to El Paso, Tx - long ride but </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">short trip. I don't get to see my family much and not many email or facebook so I thought I would bring photos along to share with them but I didn't want to give them in the normal plain boring envelope...so I decided to get crafty!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In my last post I shared an old beat up hutch that my husband brought home for me - I had this amazing idea for the back panel on the hutch...but my idea didn't work out as planned. The wall paper I had planned to put on well I didn't have enough. Dang it! Hate when that happens.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I wanted to share my newest project. My sweet husband brought this home for me about a month ago and its been sitting in the back yard...I wanted to make it amazing and so it sat while I tried to figure out the fun color scheme I wanted to use.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Isn't this piece amazing...it needs a little TLC but the lines are cool and there are so many drawers and a light that comes with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I wanted to do this in Coral and gold but I decided to try something different...I had three different cans of Sherwin Williams paint in 3 shades of blue...and see that there back piece well it came off so I was thinking maybe a cool paint treatment or some fun pattern painted on...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I have a problem. I like to change things around in my house regularly and repaint stuff a lot. There I said it - first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one, right? I don't plan on stopping but I am willing to admit it. Look sometimes you need a quick fix. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sometimes the best way to save money is to use something you already have in a different way! So I went in search of "Schtuff" in my studio and found some vintage embroidery hoops - I love the idea of embroidery and wish I could do it WELL but I have a small gimp in my embroidery hand so I thought about using some fabric or something cool in the hoops...then it hit me...I had some old quilt parts (saving it for something - not sure what) but this must have been it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">I cut out some parts and placed them the way I liked them into the embroidery hoops and wham...look what came out</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I tried it with some other hoops I had for my kitchen. - I used some cherry fabric, a part of a vintage tablecloth and then tried my hand at embroidery - I added the heart and some banners and in white - which is barely visible but says Good Morning...again I am glad you cant see it up close because its pretty bad. I did put them up in my kitchen and I LOVE them - so my mission was accomplished. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Hi - been to any good yard sales lately? I haven't but in the recent past I had and found some fun old vintage sheets - hence the pun (dirty old sheets) they aren't really dirty but they are deliciously old and I seem to be especially attracted to fun bright flowery sheet sets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In the past I had planned on making those cute pillow case dresses (remember those?) But my girls are now 14 & 12 - and they ain't having none of that...I don't blame them but how cute would they look in them? </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Because most of the sheet sets I find our usually twin (my bed is a king) I can't actually use them so I decided to cut one up and make some fun banners. Instead of the standard pennant style banner I made them in half circles and pinked the edges. I think it came out super cute.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Let me start this by saying that at my last craft show I had this old vintage quilt rack - the kind that stands up, the one that you can hang several blankets on. I had it for a lot of years and decided one day that I would use it as my wrapping station at my shows. It was perfect for hanging my tissue paper for wrapping my products and for hanging my bags over for putting the wrapped products into. It worked like a dream.</span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then of course my family packs me up at night and once home we noticed that of all the things that made it home my vintage quilt rack/new wrapping station was not one of them. {super sad face inserted here} boy was I mad...so since then I had been on the look out for a quilt rack or something similar...not an easy task...but I did find something like this here...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Good Grief - it sure has been a long time. But I am BACK...This year started off in a flurry of things happening and changing. First of all my store - well - it happened that while I thought I had the coolest furniture and the neatest vintage accessories - no one else did. Since I like to keep things real-the first month; I sold a bunch but still not enough to cover the rent. So I sold stuff and then had to pay 60.00 out of pocket to cover the rent...I decided them that I couldn't so that again...I actually liked my stuff and wasn't trying to lighten my load of "STUFF" I was hoping to make money not give stuff away. So we decided to call it quits. I wanted to start the year off MAKING MONEY not losing it - so January was our last month and because I was able to get out early enough and had already paid January rent = the things I actually did sell I made money! Yeah...so the point of the story is that I closed my shop after 2 months...</span></div>

I have projects started all over the place. I am really into refinishing furniture and just finished an amazing vintage chair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New; font-size: large;">It was really rickety but had great bones...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Nice right? Looks like an old school chair. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So I spray painted the chair turquoise...I know what? spray paint but I just wanted the base to be a nice bright color - I was planning a distressing bonanza...</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">then I dry brushed some cream paint all over the chair in a half hazard way - I didn't lay it on thick just a quick brush over.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPcvr2pSxpexZ6B8a8JTKPfEVdZbOD8EgUh1rSdZjnnqgGqbRAWz-Y_4KuhVzfDEf7dy0ieikloNWLF_ssIqhIldOEYPs9QQk4_1Dt-GNc7PTDuElbEPLYOyH4vCvzEWnGnyn5AHEw1U/s1600/IMG_2807.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSPcvr2pSxpexZ6B8a8JTKPfEVdZbOD8EgUh1rSdZjnnqgGqbRAWz-Y_4KuhVzfDEf7dy0ieikloNWLF_ssIqhIldOEYPs9QQk4_1Dt-GNc7PTDuElbEPLYOyH4vCvzEWnGnyn5AHEw1U/s1600/IMG_2807.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Then I took the sander to it and sanded in the MOST wearable spot - like the edges and the seat. When I was done sanding I noticed that the cream paint was still quite bright and wasn't really going for that look so luckily I had some of <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/acatalog/paints.html">ANNIE SLOANS</a> dark wax and rubbed it all over the cream paint and it really warmed up the whole chair.</span></div>

<br />
Gear shift... I know you have seen all the rage over DEER right? Well I wanted to try my hand at making some sort of Holiday art piece at a minimal cost in case it didn't turn out well. Can I just say that I DONE good... Here are the supplies you'll need to make this wonderful piece of HIP art.<br />

I am thinking that the nose needs to be glitterfied with some red glitter...The idea behind my thought process was that I really wanted to incorporate a chalkboard background...So I picked up this reindeer wood piece at MICHAEL'S (BTW-all holiday wood is 70% off right now-SCORE) and I bought a large 11 x 13 frame at the dollar store </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this cost me a total of 2.00 ---most of the other stuff I had at home.</div>

<br />
2 weeks ago I went into a thrift store and found a sweet side table that was nice and sturdy and only 10.00 - the bones were good and I knew it just needed some paint. Fast forward to DIY day...<br />

I understand that it takes years to acquire such a collection and I am after all ONLY 43 - so I have LOTS of time to collect still but recently I started to fall head over heels for Santa - I especially love those old vintage Santa mugs...and while I may have one or 2 of those mugs (can't be sure) I have been on a sort of mission lately collecting anything and any kind of vintage LOOKING Santa... and lets just say I think my collection has begun!<br />

I am anxious and excited and ready...I have been busy painting furniture and pricing all my sweet vintage Christmas decorations. I have been sketching my BOOTH layout ideas...so many things I want to do but also want my space to look cohesive and organized but hypnotizing...draws people in and makes them want to SHOP=BUY!!!<br />
<br />
I usually buy all my items at thrift stores whether it is furniture or parts that I use to make something cool or re-paint and upcycle into something AWESOME!!! I plan to share my Thrift Store loot/weekend SCORE on Mondays here on the blog.<br />
<br />
O.k. the following items were all bought at the Pomona Goodwill...<br />

Let me first mention that I have found that most Goodwill stores are high priced. At least that's my opinion. I find that most little things, like frames and figurines are high but the one in Pomona off of Garey well they know how to price things....</div>

<br />
I have always loved making over furniture and DIYing different pieces of curb side finds into treasures for my home, so I decided to take it to the next level. I am opening up a small space in an antique store on December 1st....exciting and a bit scary but I am ready to dive in head first.<br />
<br />
I am hoping to make this blog a collection of my projects - the good, the bad and the UGLY!!! As well as a journal of my finds, my personal make-overs and some silly funky-ness for good measure.<br />
<br />
I will start blogging soon and my grand - opening will be December 1st.<br />
<br />
Please visit often.<br />
<br />
