DIY Wall Shelf

Hey there, did you have a good weekend?!  I got some chores done, upcycled an old shelf and completed a project for PWP.  So I'm pretty happy with everything I was able to scratch off of my to do list.

This is a shelf that I use to have in our second apt years and years ago.  I dragged it around to two different houses since then, lol.  It sat in the attic of our old house and has been in our garage since we moved here over two years ago.  I even tried selling it in a garage sale but nobody wanted it, lol. 

Well, I decided it was time to give it a makeover and bring it back in.

Pretty drab right!

Here is the inside

Now for some painting magic!

I sent my DH to HM Depot with instructions to bring me a pretty blue and boy does he know me, he brought me the PERFECT shade :D

I was going to use the door but then decided I wanted to have it open instead.  So I added some pretty MME paper to help tie in the red from my studio.

Here it is up on the wall and all filled up!  See that adorable little canvas on the top shelf, my DIL made that!  Isn't it just too cute :D

Well, I hope you liked my little shelf makeover and before you toss out that old shelf; remember, a little paint does wonders!

 

HAVE A WONDERFUL MONDAY!!



DIY Saturday!

Hello, I'm just popping in to say hi and see what your up to on this fine Saturday!  I'm cleaning out the garage in hopes of finding a paper towel holder from my last house.  I need one in my studio and don't wanna go out and buy a new one when I know I already have one here somewhere.

I'm also working on a couple of DIY projects:

This is a hutch I found at a little Antique store out in Luling a couple weeks ago.  I'm going to refinish it with a fresh coat of Antique White.  This is going to be part of my new display at Homestead Handcrafts.  I'm hoping it'll help me build a better display and I've grown tired of the current set up.

This is an old self that I had in our apartment years and years ago.  I've been hauling it around forever so I decided it was time to give it a make over and put it in my studio.

Here's a look inside.  Well I'm gonna start painting, have a wonderful day!!!

DIY - Night Stand Makeover

This is a little table that my dear friend Jackie donated for my shop at Homestead.  This was just a cosmetic change with paint and a new knob, but it turned out great.  Its amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do!

Thank you so much Jackie!!!

Main Display Table - DIY

Today my DH is making my main display table.  If we get it done and painted, I'll post some pics ;o)  Now, back to work!

Enjoy your Sunday!!

Little Table Makeover

This little guy went from a side table to two table top stands.  I took it apart and sanded down the piece before applying primer.  Once the primer was dry I went over it with green spray paint and then antique white.  I sanded all the pieces down to give them a antique look and let the green peak through.  I also added another 18" circle and some bun feet.  I'll be using these new stands in my Homestead Crafts booth to display my work.

Thank you Tracy for giving me this little treasure!
