Union Jack dresser

I just had to do this one.  I really love a navy blue and red together.

And I have loved all the union jack whatevers on the blog, so here is my interpretation.

I picked up this great little dresser here in town.  Perfect.

The after.  I used Benjamin Moore's 'twilight zone' and 'santini blue'.  The red is craft paint---a true apple red.  Then topped it off with clear minwax.  I may be in the minority here or just don't know what I am doing, but I find Annie Sloane's clear wax dull and takes a long time to dry.  Minwax is just much easier for me.  I do however, like Annie Sloane paints either as a primer or stand alone.

A few more pics of the dresser in my living room and where it ended up---at my booth space at 'Relics' here in Springfield, MO.

I will be hooking these up to Addicted2Decorating and Funky Junk Interiors SNS.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Antique and Artisan coming up...

This post is about some lampshades I altered and the 'inspired' letters.

So I took a chair coverslip found at a garage sale and cut it in strips, ran a running

stitch through it  and using the lethal hot glue gun applied to the lamp shade.

Mucho, blurry strips.  I have a blister on my index finger from cutting numerous 2-3 inch strips.  Sheesh!

Ahhh...much clearer.  Don't know why I can't get a handle on my new camera.  Steady, steady.

And now, for the lamp (there are actually 2) in question.  Got them a few years ago from Target.  Functional, served their purpose and now at my mercy.

Other scraps for decoration on top of the interminable other strip scraps.

Dark picture, there will be another later on down the post.  This, after running stitchs, lots of hot gluing and a few yo-yos added.   I like it.  First attempt at this type of transformation.

Here are the lamps to the left, a far back view, as well as the previously yellow faux bois table now turqoise and pretty new knobs found at Hobby Lobby--such a wonderful selection.

A closeup of the lamp details.  

Some random pictures from my booth--however, they are projects I have been busy doing.

I did not do this picture...I just like him especially with his Halloween mask on.

Ah, there is the final product of 'inspired'.  If I was hanging this in my own home (and I may if it does not sell)  I would put some battery powered string lights inside so that 'inspired' is lit up.  Also, under the inspired shadow box you can see the updated table turquoise table with gray faux bois and a faded stencil design.

Thanks for stopping by,

The little table that could change X 2

Here's a table my husband picked up in his garage saling:

You know this table...everywhere.

Here I applied Martha Stewart's cornbread paint with an added light color glaze then used the faux bois instrument from Martha's line.  Really love it.

I love playing with this instrument.  This table did not stay this way, 'cause I am fickle,

however, it was just fine the way it was.

Another angle...if you want to try this technique it is worthy.  Difficult to find the instrument which is why I bought Martha's set and really, not a bad deal at all, comes with other instruments

that are worthy.  $15.00, very reasonable for many options available.

What is this...not furniture.  The lady who owns the store where I have a booth purchased these at some auction.  So I got letters for 'inspired' and next post you will see what I did with it.

Fall Mantle

Well, as usual this afternoon I was looking through beautiful blogs and came

across Fall in Love with Your Home linky party... and since I just did my

mantle yesterday...

The further back view--just painted the wall behind the fireplace a soft blue yesterday.  All those encyclopedias have been sitting on the mantle for a while--I take them down and take pictures

out of them for frames...soon, I am going to stack a few and make a lamp out of them.

Now for a few close ups

This is a way overexposed picture of this fella and his horse, however it is the only picture that shows how colorful he is.

This print was purchased last Christmas from the etsy store junxtaposition---love her stuff (she is not a sponsor...I have none...just love her stuff!)

Thanks for stopping by...and fall is definitely here.  Yesterday it was 99, today high of 67 and raining.  Sweet relief.

Love fall

Fall in love with your home!

Chair Reconstructed

I picked up this chair at a garage sale for $5.  What a deal, huh?

However, it made me tired just thinking of how much work it was going to take to desconstruct and then reconstruct.  I took it apart within a day or two, but then it sat, while I waited in inspiration.

The cushion shows what the entire chair was covered with...pretty filthy, scratched up by a cat...funky, but sturdy and good bones.

From the back...really funky, holes from a 1000 staples...took about 5 hours to get this chair to this point.  Yeah, I knew right off this chair would make me tired.  But $5...I had to try.

I can't tell you how much this pleases me.  I am not a professional, only learning as I go, and this is far from perfect...but as I say I am pleased.

I bought this blanket at a thrift store for $5  in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  They had a number of really nice blankets...wish I had bought more.  I am not kidding $5. It was folded and taped...so I took a chance would look as good as what was visible.

As you can see, the upper wings are bare...haven't decided if I will leave it that way, kind of rustic and matches the vibe.

No, not reupholstered professional perfect, but I love it.

So, that's it.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I am linking this up to Savvy Southern Style for 'Wow Us Wednesday'...my first time hooking up there.  Also hooking up to Air Your Laundry Friday and Saturday Night Special of Funky Junk Interiors.

Summer Lovin'

Today I am going to hook up to Sarah's Modern Country Style Summer Lovin' party.  At the outset I must say that this summer was absolutely brutal on the yard.

So some of these pics are from my back yard and from spots recently visited.

It is just sad to see the lawn, so I have mostly refrained.

As you can see---looks like hay...I am sure many of you can relate.

A little happy spot, before the 90 plus degrees for over 50 days...many days touching 100.

The roses, early in the summer.  Pretty for a short time...these roses are kind of finicky and

their show is limited.

Trumpet vine...more of a weed than a high end flower...but a pop of orange.

A mosaic chair I made years ago through the lavender.  So heavy it will have be sold with the

house should we ever leave.

So my crops this year were sunflowers and tomatoes.  I usually do so much more.  Weird, like I knew it wasn't going to be.

Last week we went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas for my birthday/vacation to our usual hotel, Matterhorn Towers (german theme and sensible prices).  Here's few poolside pics.

Now for a few pictures of the historic Crescent Hotel

Hard to resist this photo op...row of rocking chairs

And I'll leave you with a pretty original window inside the Crescent

Thanks, Sarah, of Modern Country Style for the Summer Lovin' party.
