For Sale!

We finally have some wonderful items up for sale on our Etsy page! I love the positive feedback we have already received from our page and I hope to see this hobby grow even more!

These unique twine wrapped vases look amazing in any room. I love to put bright and colorful flowers in them! They are currently listed as a set of 2 for $17.99 plus shipping.

Here we have more twine wrapped, upcycled vases. This set of 3 is listed for $27.99 plus shipping.

 

This is definitely one of my favorite items I have ever come across. You don't see a 38 year old maple syrup bottle very often! This special edition bottle has had a lot of attention but still needs a permanent home. You can buy it for only $7.99 plus shipping.

I am ALWAYS a sucker for old, vintage frames. I love the detail in the metals and how unique each frame is. This wonderful set of 8 is listed for $45.99 plus shipping.

Milk glass is also very unique. With the glass being white instead of clear, you can really see the details of each piece much more clearly. I love collecting milk glass and using them with fake flowers to add a little color to the room. This set of 11 is listed for $49.99 plus shipping.

 

Who wouldn't want a vintage teapot made in the 1930's?? This is seriously the real deal when it comes to teapots! I hate to give it up, but I would much rather see someone else enjoy it more than I did. Get it now for only $15.99 plus shipping!!

Over the next few weeks more items will be placed up for sale on Etsy, so be sure to check it out! Almost everything is either vintage or handmade.

Think It, Wish It, Do It

Here is a little inspiration for everyone who has been feeling a little crafty lately. All of this was created by me over a period of a couple months. Granted I have been working on other projects at the same time... But they are finally finished!! 

All of the wooden frames I used were from Michaels craft store. I literally spent $1 or less on each one! So total I only spent $14 for the unfinished frames. 

Scrapbooking paper is an easy and cheap way to add a little pazazz to any room. I alway end up with coupons for Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Take full advantage of them! Im serious!! You can usually end up getting the paper even cheaper. With a little bit of sanding and spray painting (I think it is waaay faster and easier), you can create something similar.

 If you are using fake flowers, make sure to glue them to the bottom ledge of the frame. The big flower ended up needing to be nailed to the wall. 

After coupons, all of these cost me under $35!!! I love that it is so different than what you can buy at the store and can be personalized for whatever you like. 

The Lovely Yellow Vinyl Chair: Day Three

After an amazing vacation, it's back to reality and everyday events. Before I left to go on vacation I had absolutely no time at all to work on any projects. I wanted to give a little update about the chair I've been working on.

 I have used Behr interior wall paint in the color Breakfast Blend. Any size more than just the little sample size containers would be way too much, so I just went with the sample size. The entire chair took about 3 coats of paint and with a few extra spots getting more paint, it was done! This did take pretty much all afternoon to finish. Tomorrow I think I'll paint the metal pieces and re-attach the seat. Here are a few pictures. 

This was during the first coat. 

And the second.... 

This is the final coat! The picture turned out a little funny and the chair looks gold. I promise it isnt! The brown is a pretty chocolate brown with gold undertones. I absolutely love the color! I cant wait to finish it all and put it in my room!
