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.. :-(

The Ugly Bed........

What do you get when you cross an ugly FREE bed with an already used piece of oval wood?

A perfectly sweet bed for a perfectly sweet little lady!

My very first Slipcovered chair!!!!

I've linked up to another party over at Pink and Polka Dot's!!!

Here's the before....I am redoing my living room layout so bear with me! I will share more photos when done!!!! First I had to find two matching chairs! And Craigslist proved to be the place to look... The asking price? $225 for both, what did I pay.......$125 and a slipcover for a foam insert for a bench! Don't be afraid to barter!!! SCORE! Not bad in gray right, but not with the gold color in my living room!

Now -the "in- between"......

And now the finished chair!! At least one finished chair.... My advice take your time and go slow and best of all: If you don't own a seam ripper get two!!!!!!! You may not improve your sewing skills but you will have mastered seam ripping!!!!!!!!!!! Andrea
