Petite Sideboard

After almost a year of being side-lined due to injury and other life ‘stuff’, I finally feel like I am getting back on track.  As anyone with a shop/booth space knows, you absolutely reap the rewards based on what you put into it….or lack thereof.

So I’m chugging along trying to get back in the groove.  I managed to take 3 pieces into the shop today.  One was a little sideboard with drop leaf sides.

It has this sweet little detailing – both front and back.  I was very tempted to keep it for myself but I thought I would put it in the shop where it has an opportunity to sell and then if it doesn’t, it will come home to me.  Whatever will be, will be!

Sorry – no before pics.  Getting it done and installed in the shop was an accomplishment itself and I am satisfied with that.

Weathered Window & Wire

While I’m in window mode….why not do another.   I did this one a few days ago.  

The glass was intact so it was perfect for adding my flower pics to.  The next one was a little rougher.  No glass.  (Although they both had the same fuzzies and could have used a shave!)

Chicken wire to the rescue!

 

I didn't have a D-ring to hang it so I improvised.

I used a pop tab from a soda can and voila!

A new place to hang keys, the dog leash, etc.

Installed and ready to use. 

P.S.  If you’ve never used chicken wire, beware… it bites!

Flowers & Weathered Wood

 Two of my favorite things!   As a matter of fact I was supposed to be outside planting flowers this weekend but Mother Nature had other ideas.  So instead I spent my time inside…. printing flowers.

I needed some wall décor for my freshly painted breezeway  /mudroom so I pulled out an old window that I cleaned up earlier.

There was an odd ‘fuzziness’ on parts of it –probably from being out in the rain.

See?  I sanded it off as best I could but it was tough to get at without breaking any glass.

I dry-brushed the paint on and lightly sanded with a sanding block.  That took care of the fuzzies pretty well.  Then I chose the photos for the frames.

I wanted the pics to be removable so that I could change them out seasonally so I added 2 bands of elastic to the back to hold the pics tightly to the glass.    They are  easily removable when I want to change them up.

And this is the final result!  

Easy…and free!
