An Upcycled Thrift Shop Pantry Stool

October 31, 2016
I purchased the little homemade step stool at a thrift shop the other day.  Since my laundry room is next to my kitchen, it serves as a combination pantry/laundry room.

My love affair with cutting/bread boards continues! I buy them at thrift shops and garage sales all the time.  Here is my latest one.


A Clearance Sign Makeover with Old Sign Stencils New LAUNDRY Design

October 17, 2016
I purchased this Americana primitive style flag sign about 6 years ago at a local craft shop.  It had been placed on clearance for $8.  I incorporated it for several years in my outdoor 4th of July decorating and I also used it indoors for Americana/patriotic vignettes.  


A Coffee Themed Coffee Table

I have actually had this little table for over a year.  I got it for a song at a local thrift shop.  I loved the hairpin legs, even though they were brass or gold tone.


More From My Craft Room/Guest Room/Den Makeover

October 04, 2016
I am still busy purging, organizing and re-doing my den/guest room into a triple purpose room.  It is now becoming a craft room as well.  This rustic wooden shelf was used for a while in my shop for display.  I decided to paint it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen and faux distress it with the Plaid Layering Block. I have shared previous projects with the Plaid Layering Block  here ,  here , and  here.   I am planning to do a training video very soon on the Plaid Layering Block and share it on my blog.
