where beauty meets function sunday february 05 2012 back to the chalkboard back to the drawing er chalkboard not only am i obsessed with gallery walls i m also obsessed with chalkboards it all started a long time ago when i first saw miss mustard seeds huge chalkboard i love her style i mean who doesn t then i made a few chalkboards for my booth over the last few months like these but want i really wanted a huge chalkboard just for me and when i saw this huge ugly picture at goodwill one day for half price just 7 i knew i had found my chalkboard excuse the awful glare this is the only before photo i could find a couple coats of salem red milk paint some distressing and about 5 coats of chalkboard paint painted directly onto the heavy cardboard type print and wallah an awesome large chalkboard for my kitchen and what about that menu my kind of meal lol so what do you think are you loving chalkboards as much as i am these days posted by at 10 19 pm 37 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels crafts my home sunday january 22 2012 gallery walls i am completely obsessed with gallery walls i ve been doing my own versions of the gallery wall since way before i realized they had a name or were cool my hallways have always served as a gallery wall of family photos and such and this house is no exception some of you might remember forever ago that i posted the problem with my current gallery wall it had the highwater effect i ve taken the stuff further down the wall now i m still on the fence as to whether it s low enough now or not but it s working for now now i m moving on to creating a gallery wall in the living room i told you i m obsessed with gallery walls pinterest is only encouraging my obsession after lots of looking and searching and pinning i have definitely learned that i am drawn to the eclectic type gallery walls i like a hodge podge of items artwork mixed in with pictures and letters numbers and plaques and whatever strikes your fancy don t get me wrong i love structured gallery walls too like these source source then there s the pseudo structured gallery walls these have structure to them in the way they are displayed but the items on the wall have variety like these source source source this one with all the paint by numbers makes my heart go pitter patter i love vintage paint by numbers source unknown then be still my heart there s the ones that truly make me drool okay maybe not literally not that i would admit too but these are the ones i want in my own home source source unknown source source does it get anymore spectacular than these if you are interested in following me on pinterest so you can keep up with all the things that make me smile laugh or that is just plain adorable beautiful stunning or whatever else smarks my interest here is the link to follow me posted by at 12 40 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels decorating my home tuesday january 10 2012 furniture redo s obviously i have been a very bad blogger the last six months as you all know my first semester of college had me swamped what you may or may not have known was that i was also very busy doing a whole lot of other things that i just never had time to sit down and blog about one of those things was redoing some furniture i m sure you remember the dated entertainment center i redid last summer from this to this the little table i bought for a 1 to this but what i haven t shown you was a 5 chair i got from goodwill last summer i don t have a before picture not because i didn t take any i know i did but because until recently i used to jump between 3 different computers making my organization awful i m sure you can image what the chair looked like dated wood and super nasty navy blue fabric but it was not gross anymore after i spent a few days working on her i absolutely loved this chair i ve had it in my living for months before i finally sold it on craigslist the other day for 35 i wish you could see the distressing it was by far my best to date i also redid this piano bench which i also bought at a garage sale for 1 last summer to this oh yes my dear friends that is vintage key printed burlap gorgeous i got that at joanne s with a coupon it s a little more expensive than plain burlap but not much and definitely worth the little extra money and the last one was the little footstool i picked up from another garage sale for 5 to this i actually stenciled this key onto a swatch of drop cloth i got the image from graphics fairy then i used my cricut to cut out a stencil from cardstock and used fabric paint and a foam stencil brush to apply the paint it worked like a charm just a few things i did in late summer early fall posted by at 2 37 pm 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels furniture redo friday january 06 2012 jack jumped over the candlestick s my latest obsession is candlesticks or pillar holders or candle holders whatever you choose to call them i want a whole bunch of big ones various sizes and shapes painted black in the middle of my kitchen table i can remember not so long ago there were always candle holders to be found at the thrift stores you know when i never had a desire to buy them now not so much why is there a sudden rush on cheap ugly fairly large candlesticks i blame pottery barn image i mean why pay 19 49 from them to get this look when you can paint old ones for next to nothing but it s hindering my ability to get candle holders cheaply and really that s all that matters and to buy new ones wowzers they are a minimum of 10 a pop a little steep for me especially considering how many i dream of owning but ever so slowly i am adding to my collection 2 to 3 at a time the uglier the better i just hit them with some valspar black spray paint and voila i have various sized and shaped candle holders of my liking i have distressed one with some rub n buff but mostly i just kept them solid black sidenote speaking of valspar spray paint it is not usually my first choice when it comes to spray paint but have you seen their new spray nozzles fabulous other problem i get so torn do i keep them all just for me or do i take some to the booth you know i want to keep them all but i also love my booth followers and want to share my new obsession oh the life of a collector and seller so what did i do i kept three and took one of course lol i think i m comfortable with that ratio now if i can only find more i also have been making some decorative candles i didn t take pictures but that s ok it s so easy you don t need pictures i got this idea from my dear friend carol at the polka dot cottage she gives a wonderful tutorial with pictures here basically you stamp an image onto white tissue paper and then hair dry it onto the candle with wax paper seriously the hardest part is holding the image and tissue paper tight with an oven mit on that hair dryer gets hot it s hard to see but this ones says see god in ever person place thing and all will be well in your world louise hay the large floral one is a flameless candle unfortunately it did not get adhered good enough and came off but i m not done trying to get this effect with a flameless candle i ll keep you posted on my success i did however share these candles with my booth lovelies they just need to find their own candlesticks lol oh come on that was funny p and for complete randomness here a couple other things i ve put my touch on and took to the booth yesterday excuse my disgusting carpet note to self probably not the best spot for photo ops this shelf was a plastic gold scrolly shelf turned that i turned into this lovely with a whole lot of black white and gray paint i must confess i also did not want to give this up having a booth is tough i m stingy someday i m going to get around to showing you my new old dining room chairs but this is the fabric that i used to upholster the seats i adore this fabric and want to use it everywhere but i do realize that might be slight over kill my gma pat gave me a bunch of frames at christmas she no longer wanted so this was one that i painted and distressed and added my new favorite fabric too wouldn t this be great in a gallery wall i may or may not have wanted to keep it to put on my gallery wall i m planning for the living room i m seeing a very ugly theme here what about you posted by at 9 00 am 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels my home second hand find thrifting thursday january 05 2012 fresh beginnings happy new year isn t there always something exciting about starting a new year it s like all your dreams and ambitions get a fresh start with the beginning of each new year your dreams suddenly become a possibility again june pfaff daley i m very blessed and have a wonderful life i truly do not have any complaints about the life i have been lucky enough to live but i d still like to push myself to max out my potential i don t make a lot of resolutions per say i just pray for continued blessings but

photoshop expand my booth from a wall to a full size booth start finishing and selling more furniture redo s maybe fall in love and the big one i ve been tossing around for some time now but not sure i have the time to manage it properly at this moment start another blog an expansion on my favorite quote by ghandi be the change you wish to see in the world it would give challenges give ideas some big but mostly small manageable ways on things we can each do to make changes or impact someones life fun quotes volunteering spotlighting people who are making an impact help find ways in various communities to get involved recycling etc as far as the house goes it s mostly going to depend on funds this year things are uncomfortably tight this year with me not working and going to school full time but here s the dream list anyway add bead board to the bathroom including the ceiling and replace the ventilation fan add a patio to the backyard not sure about what type of patio i want or how that will look yet finish the fence project that took all spring summer last year p new bamboo floors that s been on my wish list for almost 3 yrs now chances are it will still be on my wish list next year too lol make a headboard for my bed also been on the list for several years now add molding to the tops of the kitchen cabinets which i purchased almost a year ago but have done nothing with paint the insides of the kitchen cabinets build a bench for the kitchen table phew i don t think i can fit much more than that into just one year so here s to a fresh start and to new possibilities

slightly obsessed with chalkboards lately i ve sold several chalkboards in my booth lately this is the most recent taken to the booth for sale it didn t always look like this though i rescued it from goodwill on one of our half priced saturday s it was u g l y i painted and distressed the frame and then i used chalkboard paint over the glass i bought this container of folkart chalkboard paint
