Organized Clutter

I purchased this oak tissue box cover late last year at the thrift shop for a couple of bucks.

A piece of weathered barn wood siding became an inexpensive way to hang various sized and shaped cutting boards.  Full details  HERE.

I recently purchased some Park Designs Farm House pattern dish towels.  They have dark red grain sack type stripes on a neutral homespun fabric. They are completely no sew and very easy!

I purchased two cans of Annie Sloan chalk paint last November along with one can of light wax.  I just completed my very first project using chalk paint. I chose to paint this vintage spice rack that hangs in my laundry room adjoining the kitchen.  While the spice rack holds a few vintage spice tins, it also displays other small collectibles.

A new blogging friend of mine, Melissa, the Empress of Dirt has assembled a great post with twelve creative and frugal DIY garden projects. There is a good variety of projects in this round up from a variety of garden bloggers, including me.  Here is a link  to more photos and instructions to each project!

I sometimes get so wrapped up in my garden junk that I forget to show you the beautiful flowers now blooming now in my gardens! A beautiful fernleaf white Dropwort Filapendula.
