My New Old Things!

Last week, when we had our first Craft Night, I finally got around to finishing up my first antique redo from the barn.

It was gorgeous before I did anything to it, but I knew it needed some love.

I hemmed and hawed for days about what color to paint it.

Then Amber told me to get over it and just paint it.

If I didn't have Amber, I think everything in my house would be off white. So sad.

Luckily she was able to convince me that there was enough baby blue in my rug to warrant using that color for my new project.

And I'm so glad she did!

These pictures do not do it justice.

Add this to the newly covered pillows and my living room is now my favorite spot in the house.

Now to figure out how to mend the leg where the wheel fell off.

I'm not done with it yet. She's getting some Modge Podge in the drawer and on the shelf and obviously she needs some pretty handles. But I am impatient and couldn't wait to show it.

Amber is taking applications to her School For The Colorly Challanged if you're stuck in a neutral world like me.

During one of our thrift store jaunts, I found these next projects.

Ugly Frame:

New Frame!

Modge Podge is so, so good!

That bird house was a Boy Scout project that some mother must not have loved. She must not have known the power of black paint!

The lamp was also a bargain find at $5. I'm doing a revamp on that too, but I'm saving it for our next craft night.

And one last frame redo.

Hello Early 90's Decor:

Black spray paint, scrapbook paper, computer print off, and a little Modge Podge later:

This is a verse from my favorite worship song.

I love reading it everytime I pass it.

My craft closet is looking much neater now. Our next Craft Night is on the 20th and I can't wait to finish up more stuff!
