20 x 30 Chunky Frames

From start to...............


To paint to...........................











FINISHED.....
**By the way always use acrylic rather than glass when building frames this size. According to all I could read online, sheet glass that you get for frames at home improvement stores and such is too thin and can break under its own weight when its this size...
Never underestimate a woman who think she can!!!!

Piano Bench Project!

Before....



AFTER: with a cubby added for sheet music....

NEVER pass up a pair of lamps with good bones!!!

Got these babies for $10 total...Two lamps with shade 10 bucks and they both work!!! With a little Rustoleum Heirloom white spray paint, my ever faithful cricut vinyl lettering and some ribbon... Do these look like $10 lamps.......I don't think so! How cute!

Don't you just love the Cricut!!


2 x 4s and a 2 x 8 who would have guessed!

Armoire redo! Is it possible?




Here's the before.....Wish I had a picture of it before it was disassembled. It was brought to me like this.... You can see the "vintage" (not) grape hardware that adorned this piece... The drawer has the new finish on it. This armoire had the genuine faux oak finish from top to bottom, inside and out!
















Here is the after.....A little sanding okay allot of sanding, some white paint, more sanding and a little Ralph!!! (Ralph Lauren's smoke glaze) Is this amazing or what... I am still in awe when I see it. Unfortunately I did such a good job the person it belonged to- wanted it back.. :-(
