Buffet redo

I saw this U-G-L-Y little buffet at the thrift store! It was such a sad, ugly, little thing that I had to take her home and make her pretty! Well what a transformation it is...

The lighting in this picture is awful...it is a beautiful shabby black!

 



This light is better...see those shabbed edged!

Love how it turned out! This little gem is up at the shop! =)

Enjoy your evening! Hugs!

For the Love of Music!!!

There is always music in one form or another playing at our house...Rolling Stones, MercyMe, Lady GaGA, Barney! Yep, we have quite the assortment - but you can really dance to anything - not that I would want ANYONE to see that happen! So, it is no wonder that I am completely OBSESSED with vintage sheet music right now! I love, love, love it! Everything I seem to recreate has it in it, on it, or over it!!!!  I even dreamt about it...would that be considered as obsessive?! I THINK SO!!!

A very U-G-L-Y candleholder...but she had potential once I removed the red velvet covering....I think it was cemented onto it! Should have taken a before pic with the velvet on there so you could get the whole groovy effect....can you say 1970's? Peace out!

Ahhh....now we are talking!

Hoping to get some creating done today, I know there will be music involved, and I would bet there will be some vintage sheet music involved too! After a weekend of writing research papers I TOTALLY need it! Hope you have a great day! Hugs!

Let there be paint...and spring!

Does anyone else have spring fever?! Now that it is warming up, I just want to be outside painting and creating! Forget the daily housework, forget the laundry, forget spring cleaning...that's what husbands are for!!! Haha! Last weekend it was beautiful for Minnesota so I opened the garage doors and painted away....here is one example of the amazing power of paint!

Really, really ugly isn't she? But the price was right and she had great bones!

Tada...afterward!

 I love it! Its shabby, distressed, and with the vintage knobs...perfect! I saw the idea for the numbers at Pottery Barn and loved the look! This little gem is available at The Red Poppy! Linking up to Domestically Speakings paint party! I love paint!

Now for my love of white....pitter patter goes my heart!

Picked up these paper mache forms from a thrift store...not cute!

Here they are after Kate and I mod-podged vintage sheet music to them! Love, love, love!

These took awhile (about 3 hours!) so I wanted to keep them, however, Kate thought we should sell them because I told her she could keep the money...what was I thinking? So these lovelies are up at the shop...I'm secretly hoping they don't sell so I can sneak them back home! Does that make me a bad mom? =)

Here are some more "loves". I love the pedestal wood bowl. All shabbed out with the vintage covered eggs..."sigh!" I love them! The trays with the vintage paper in the background are also favorites!

A close up of the eggs...just used vintage music sheet, modge podge, and plastic eggs! Super easy but it was a little timely...however, when you are doing it with your 11 year old who still thinks you're cool...priceless! Linking up to White Wednesday party!

 

Enjoy your day! Hugs!
