Text of the page (random words):
furbish recycle look she went on craigslist and found assorted old chippy architectural pieces like doors shutters various shelves and an old window that someone had turned into a mirror how fun is that wouldn t it be fun to be twenty two again she was inspired by the above photo and i used it back when i did the post recycled door headboards check that out if you would like to see more headboard inspiration i couldn t wait to tackle the project of refinishing the doors and getting the look that she wanted for her new space when i got the doors this is what they looked like immediately when i painted on the paint stripper the first layer of paint started bubbling up working a small area at a time using a 2 putty knife i just started to scrape off the paint once i was satisfied with one area i moved onto the next i poured the stripper into an empty soup can because it evaporates very quickly every now and then i would stand back to access the entire door scrape a bit more here and there until i was satisfied with the look then i cleaned it up good with some mineral spirits and a steel wool pad after it dried i went back and made sure there were no loose pieces chances are it was lead paint so i was sure to wear a mask through the whole process and then finish with a light sealer onto the second door same story here are the finished doors if you re wondering why i didn t do them with the door knobs either together or on both on the outside it s because the opposite side of the doors were covered with some sort of contact paper underneath the layers of paint i guess that was not an uncommon practice years ago and it would have been fine if i wanted to completely strip the doors down but i needed that deep down layer of paint and here are the doors in their new home don t you just love them she and her mom did a great job accessorizing the space how awesome to have an old fireplace in your room a great place to display her old window mirror and a view with lots of natural light she is off to a great start i can t wait to get down there in a couple of weeks and see it for myself 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 25 2012 my new dough bowl that i won my new dough bowl so maybe from the title you can discern that i am pretty excited it s not only that i am now the proud owner of a one of a kind european treasure but the fact that i actually won it that i actually won anything just sweetens the deal since i started blogging over a year ago i ve been following the amazing construction of the enchanted home the blog and literally an enchanted home tina the owner of both started a blog where she so generously allowed us readers into her home as it was being constructed where she aired her design decisions even asking for input occasionally where she shares her favorite places products and a seemingly endless collection of inspiration photos of homes and gardens from around the world oh and one other thing she has amazing give away s like this dough bowl from her shop that i won i love how the label says 100 found inside and out she s a beaut the rustic details make it so interesting what do you think this is for i actually do make my own pizza dough so i think i ll give it a try i really just love the idea of using an old piece for it s intended purpose kind of like i m carrying on some sort of history here are a couple of my other favorites from her shop one of the many needlepoint pillows i love tina and i share a love of blue and white porcelain even though i m about to kill the squirrel that incessantly visits my bird feeder not really i m all talk i have to admit that they can be adorable i love the little acorn scoop that comes with this carved mango wood bowl and just look at these charming little measuring spoons there are so many beautiful accessories like silver and monogrammed linens and candles to name a few but my other favorites are the garden statuary and planters some seriously stunning stuff take a minute and visit her shop the enchanted home shop you ll be glad you did and when you really have some time to relax sit back and read some of her blog especially those thursday updates where she posted tons of pictures of her truly extraordinary home below hope you are enjoying your monday 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday june 20 2012 saving your kids artwork via today is the last day of school for my kiddie poos yeah schools out for summer all this week my second grader has been bringing home the masterpieces all of those works of art that have been compiling at school in the classroom and in the art room i recently read an interesting article on organizing all of those works of art and i suppose this would go for writing pieces as well simply create four piles one to keep in a memory box one to frame one to give away for gifts to the special people in your child s life and one to throw away i thought it was interesting that the article talked of the importance of having your child in on the decisions especially the throw away decisions even if you secretly throw away more than they realize but it s important to teach them how to let things go and that it s okay and even quite necessary a lesson that i still struggle with sometimes here are a bunch of good ideas for displaying via clipboards make quick changes easy v ia art mixes right in with family photographs on this gallery wall via a cool way to display and remember several pieces scan individual artworks and shrink them with photo editing software via matching frames and mats unify this collection via via framed cork boards is another way to have a permanent display that s easily changed via this system also allows for quick changes as well as piling on via i think this is my favorite one hour left before they are home only a half day today and temps are pushing 100 in sunny syracuse summer vacation is going to start with a splash literally i think i ll be sitting poolside soon enjoy your day too 2 comments email this blogthis share to x

little gift that he seemed to really like i posted it on my facebook page if you want to check it out today i m hoping to inspire you with some fabulous interiors that have a little something extra an amazing pet i m not sure if it s because i have neither a cat nor dog and a part of me reeaaallly longs to or if everyone is drawn to these types of photographs pet photos are usually adorable but in my opinion they achieve art status when the setting or background is a gorgeous interior let me know what you think via love the black framed photograph over that sumptuous charcoal colored leather via really the kind of bed you just want to fall into via eclectic entry area via oh my my my i do love that space via using refurbished furniture adds such character and warmth to a space via i love the idea of having a built in pet bed in the mudroom via hello kitty can you tell me what color is on the wall i think i want to copy it via desire to inspire blog has a pets on chairs series via gotta love summertime what did you love more the designs or the pets i ve started a pets and decor album on one of my facebook pages and collected a bunch of images on my pets and decor pinterest

what do you think would you like to see that 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday june 15 2012 sea glass don t you just love the beautiful and serene colors of sea glass i was so excited when my husband and i first discovered it so many years ago while walking along the beach we quickly realized that we weren t the only ones and within a matter of a few minutes we were in an all out competition with seemingly professional sea glass pickers we started getting up early because we overheard the professionals talking about how good the picking was and we found ourselves racing them to the beach at sunrise even though i love it i cringe now when i see bags of it at the craft store and refuse to buy it i have my own little stash and it s special anyhow if you also love the frosty colors of sea glass you may want to try this really and i mean really simple diy these were clear glass candle holders i painted them with a mixture of mod podge and food coloring to be honest i put very little effort into them because i didn t think it was actually going to work when i first started painting them they were all streaky and i just wasn t loving them but when they dried they actually looked very pretty and the streaks don t show here is the original tutorial that i followed via elizabeth mathews the best part is when you want to change them just soak them in water and it all washes off if you don t want them to be temporary i suppose you could use a sealer i also found this tutorial here check them out it might be a fun little project for over the weekend and trust me the kids will love making them have a great father s day weekend 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday june 13 2012 mother nature is the boss along our front walk we have three rose pillars planted with golden showers climbing roses golden showers is considered a very fragrant semi double yellow climber it blooms repeatedly throughout the summer and i like it for this particular spot because it tolerates shade very well a year ago after a very cold winter with very little snow cover the roses on the two outer pillars appeared to die from experience i knew they might come back if i left them and since i had no intention of immediately buying new ones i had the time to wait it out just as i hoped new shoots shot up this spring and voila wait what is this as you may have noticed the shoots came from deep in the ground the rose literally went back to it s roots so to speak golden showers is a hybrid descending from rosa captain thomas also a yellow rose and rosa charlote armstrong a deep pink hybrid tea aha i actually really like the color of this new rose and it has worked out perfectly that the two outer roses are reverting back to their red roots i truly prefer this new design i admit defeat mother nature knows best 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
