Junkin in Warrenton

So every year, Nancy and I try to make it a point to meet up and go junkin in Warrenton, TX. It's always a good time rain or shine! Here is a photo slide I put together of our day.

Happy Easter!

Using the Pink.........

So a couple of weeks ago I went on a romantic rendezvous with my hubby to...(wait for it)...Home Depot. lol I was looking in the, "oopsie" bin and I found this gallon of really bright pink paint for $7.00! Score. Okay, so the color wasn't a color I would choose but I figured that I could find something to paint, and I could tone it down with a brown glaze. Here are the before and after  photos.

  

I Sanded and painted and I fixed the bottom drawer. 

Added some ornate wood pieces to the front so that it wouldn't seem so flat. Glazed it with some Chocolate Therapy and then got new pull handles. I will have to ask my hubby to help me with the front bottom piece that was missing. Anyways, I've been having fun redoing all of these furniture pieces. I have one more little table that I'm going to do a total photo tutorial from start to finish. That's my next project.

Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day I decided to pull out some paper and make something out of the norm. I haven't made a paper craft in such a long time! This was kind of a nice change from all the beading that I've been doing. These refrigerator magnets went out to a few of my friends. Each had a different words on them and went out accordingly. :)
I made the pens with the fabric flowers at the ends for both of Masyn's and Kalani's teachers. I didn't take a photo of those since they were so similar to the ones I made last year. Click Here to view.

Trash to Treasure.....

So I found this mail holder at our local Goodwill for, wait for it....$2.99! I know it was ugly but I knew that it would be a cute little piece to go with my other wooden refurbished filing cabinet. I decided to go with the same color and the same stain/glaze technique. Here is the before and after photo.

Hoping everyone is enjoying their week so far.
