Organized Clutter

In 2016, I became an AVID stenciler!  I stenciled signs like this "coffee sign" above three re-purposed coffeepot planters.  See the details  HERE.

In February of 2014, I created a wall display in my kitchen with a barn board, mismatched hooks, cutting boards, a shutter, and a chippy step stool.  See that post here for details.  I still love it, so I work around it at Christmas time.  This year I added a "Vintage Christmas" Sign, a wispy faux pine wreath with a scrap of red checked ribbon, vintage Christmas post cards and a  tree shaped cutting board  transformed into a Christmas card holder.

My Christmas project today starts with this pile of thrift shop frames.  The sizes are, measured from outside edges, 12" x 10", 14" x 17", 17" x 24", and 5 3/4" x 7".

I purchased this dresser mirror salvage piece for my mantel earlier this year at Jackson's Icebox Antiques and Collectibles.   

Here is a recent thrift shop coffee table purchase.

Last summer I picked up some window screens at a garage sale in two sizes.  

You know me, always picking up cutting/breadboards.  This one is from a garage sale.

My husband and I went to a moving sale a month ago, and this rustic saw horse was marked free.  Although my husband did not see the need to bring it home with it's rotten spots and all, I thought it would be a fun junk garden piece.

I am so happy to be have two of my blog photos featured in the 2016 issue of Country Sampler's Christmas Decorating Magazine.

This is a colonial style vintage end table I purchased at the thrift shop recently. It's quite large and has storage inside and in front for magazines.
