Happy and Content with Bakers Rack

Hello Everyone!  Back in the fall I purchased this baker’s rack at an indoor yard sale.   

It has been sitting in my shed waiting for a little make-over.  I wanted to paint the drawers and replace the wood on the top. 

Last week when we had a few warm days, I pulled it out of the shed.  I gave it a good scrub down, painted the drawers and replaced the wood. 

Over the weekend, I took it to my booth. 

I was happy and content to finish this job and place it in my booth, that is until the other day.  I was browsing Pinterest and I stumbled upon several baker’s racks that made me think that maybe I should have kept the one I just took to my booth.   Take a look at a few that I pinned!

Aren’t they all beautifully accessorized!  And those were only a few that I pinned. 

Guess what I did…..I called the Antique Mall where I have my booth and asked if the baker’s rack was still in my booth and they said YES!!!   The next day, I made a trip there and brought the baker’s rack back home.  Right now, I have it sitting on my screened in porch just waiting for the weather to get warm again so that I can accessorize it!   

You want to know what I took to my booth to replace the baker’s rack that I brought back home……..

….yep, my potting bench that I had on my screened in porch! 

Hopefully, it will sell to someone who will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have the past few years. 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!  The weather here for the weekend is suppose to be nice so hopefully I will have the opportunity to accessorize my baker’s rack!!

Farmers Market Advertisement

Hello Everyone!  I was so excited when some new stencils I ordered finally arrived in the mail.  I couldn’t wait to get started with my new Farmers Market stencil.  I had a cabinet drawer and a cabinet panel in the shed that was the perfect fit for this stencil as you can see. 

 

My first thought was to paint the cabinet drawer but I’m so glad I didn’t. 

I purchased three more stencils and I can’t wait to get started on other projects using them.

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Watering Cans

  Hello Everyone!  What was once all bright and shiny is now rusty and weathered. 

While walking Harley the other day I spotted two watering cans that I placed behind my shed all covered in snow.  They had been sitting behind my shed for probably a year or more.  I dug them out of the snow, brought them in the house and cleaned them up.    

After they dried, I stenciled the #3 on one and a #5 on the other.

I don’t know about you but I LOVE when Mother Nature does her magic!   Although I’m sure she probably had some help with the process with weed killer being sprayed behind the shed.

Not only did I find these two watering cans behind the shed I also discovered some other treasures as well but that will be another post. 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Old Trim Fencing and Decorative Knobs

Yesterday, Old Man Winter graced us with his presence with more snow and frigid temperatures.

With temperatures in the single digits, working on projects in the garage yesterday wasn’t going to happen.  So, I worked on little projects inside the house.  One of the projects that I worked on were these crosses.   

 

I made them with some old trim fencing that I picked up at a yard sale last summer.  I placed a decorative knob in the center of each cross.   I made six of them which I hopefully will take to my booth tomorrow. 

I completed a couple of other little projects and will be sharing them soon……even a Pottery Barn Knockoff!

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week.

Foyer Table Make-over

Hello Everyone!  Now that the Olympics is coming to a close and the weather is starting to warm up a little, it’s time for me to get off my you know what and get busy in the garage! 

A few weeks ago, my daughter-in-law’s friend asked if I would like to have this little foyer table.    

Of course, I was happy to say yes! 

When I bring home furniture pieces of any kind, nine times out of ten, I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do with them.  But when I first saw this piece I knew what I was going to do with it.  First, I removed the side and back panels to the table top.  Then I re-stained it and gave it a fresh coat of paint.  

Don’t you love it when you have a vision for something and it turns out exactly how you envisioned it.

I have a ton of other make-overs just waiting in the garage and I wish that they could be this quick and easy of a fix….but sad to say, they’re not!

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Harley says…….

Go Team USA!

He has been sporting his patriotic bandana in support of Team USA! 

We love the Olympics and we’re super excited that the Winter Olympics are officially underway!

Well, maybe not all of us.

Harley only gets super excited when he is doing something he knows he is not suppose to do!   It literally took me the best part of the day yesterday just to get these few pictures of him.  He is so full of that puppy energy! 

As always, thanks for stopping by and Go Team USA!

Pom-Pom Wreath

Hello Everyone, I made a tufted wool pom-pom wreath for myself!   

After being inspired by so many of you in blogland, I thought I would try and make one as well!

It was easy to make once I figured out how to use this little gadget. 

It is a Pom-Pom maker put out by Clover.  I purchased mine at Jo-Anne’s but you can find them at Michael’s and also on Amazon. 

To make the pom-poms for the wreath, I used 2 skeins of yarn.  

Once I had all the pom-poms made, I wrapped a straw wreath with burlap ribbon.  Then I hot glued the pom-poms onto the wreath. 

It was that easy! 

I like doing projects like this!  What about you?    

Now that this easy project is done, I’ll be in the garage the rest of the week!  I have some furniture pieces that need some work, which won’t be as easy as this pom-pom project.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
