Watcha Workin' on Wednesday...

Sorry I'm late...I crashed last night before I could post my pics.

I still wanted to post 'em though.

Here are a few things my sis and her hubs made for me...I needed to sand and distress them....was only able to get them sanded. Will finish them today.

Here's my pile of stuff I worked on yesterday too....I was able to get everything done...but for the sconces.

Here's the sconces....I wasn't thrilled with the pointy tip....so I decided to sand it off. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use them as sconces. I'm gonna finish workin' on these today too. I'll show ya my idea later...hopefully it'll work for me...LOL

Here's the cutting board I was able to get done....no display for it as of yet.

My material covered boxes....HUMMM

Well...I really do like them...but once I stained them....they looked like I had used the same material on both of them. I have each box sitting on the material I used. I thought I had enough of a contrast....but as you can see....it wasn't.
But...that's ok...I love 'em...they turned out to be really easy to do too. I'll jus' have to separate them.

I'll try to get some display pics posted of the things I've re-done.

Hope ya have a Great Day!!

Jus' wanted to show ya what I've been workin' on.

If you read my earlier post...you'll remember I was workin' on my Kitchen windows/lights.

Here's the before in case you've forgotten...

Here's the after...

I finally was able to get my curtains finished. Keep in mind...I have NEVER made curtains before...and I didn't have a pattern. But, I think the curtains and lamp shades turned out Great...and have made a huge difference.

Love 'em!!

I made the curtains out of Osnaburg material. I'm not sure if I should leave them this color or if I should coffee/tea stain them.
Any suggestions??

Hello Everyone!!!

It's been awhile since I've posted...but I sure have been workin' on things.

Here's one of the things I'm workin' on now. It's not all the way done...kinda wanted to give ya a sneak peak.

Anyway...I found these 2 shades at the GW for 2.00 each....I've been lookin' for something to change the way my lights above my sink in my kitchen look. I couldn't believe I found 2 of the same. That never happens for me.

Plus, they are the perfect size for my lights

Here's a before look of my windows and lights. Sorry the pic. is so dark...but you get the idea. If you look real close...you can see my UGLY lights under my curtains. Curtains are going too.


Here's the finished shade. I used my Plaid FolkArt Oak stain. I used it as though it was paint. I painted 2 coats of the stain...letting it dry in between coats. Then I made a template to trace my star on to the shade...painted that with the Plaid Apple Barrel Barn Red paint.

Here's a Better pic...(took it at night). I still need to finish my curtains. Hoping to get those done tonight.

I'll post more pics once I get the curtains done too.

Hope ya like my sneak peak!!

Have a Wonderful Evening!!!

Mornin' Everyone!!!
I know I haven't posted in a few days. I have been a busy girl...workin' on lots of projects.

The main one I wanna show you is the table Hubby and I made.
I had a empty spot in my family room....needed to find something to fill it....so, hubby and I made this tall table to sit up against my wall.

If you look in the background of the first pic....you can see an old window hangin' on my wall. That is where it's new home will be.

Before....unfinished



After...

Painted Black, sanded..rubbed down with shoe polish.
It kinda looks small in this pic...but really it's not.
It's 33 in high by 46 in long. Nice size table.



Now I jus' need to get things to fill the table...LOL
I have a few things on it now....hoping to get it all the way decorated today.
I'll post pic of it when I'm done.

Watcha think??

I think Hubby did an AWESOME job!!

Hope everyone has a Wonderful Primitive Day!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!
I have another busy, busy day today...but I wanted to get a post in before my day started.

Here's my burlap bag I've made. I have lots of them to make for prezzies this year. Making different styles and sayings too.
I really need to find some "Sweet Annie" to put in them. So, if you have a sellin' blog and have some Sweet Annie....Please leave me a comment with your addy....so I can check it out. I know it's sold on e-bay...but I'd rather buy from my one my Prim Friends.

I forgot to tell everyone....hubby and I made...the pegboard & candle ledge...the candle is a re-do from Mod Podge...and the basket was a GW find that I re-did.

Watcha Think???

Hope Everyone has a Wonderful Primitive Day!!!

Hello Everyone!!
I jus' wanted to stop in and show everyone what I made yesterday and was able to get finished today.

My Little Table Bench was made from a tutorial that I found on Char's blog. If you haven't checked her blog out....you should head right over there and see all the wonderful info she has. Def one of my favorite blogs to follow.
I made my Shutter and Star from ideas from different things around my house.

Hopefully this will give ya a few ideas on some easy simple things you can make yourself.

Watcha Think???

Keep in mind I still need to add a few things to the star and shutter to "Prim" them up.

Hope everyone has a Wonderful Primitive Day.
