a little color for the week....

Couldn't help but post these two inspirational songs by artists Lisa Hannigan and Coldplay!

old work bench

This old workbench just needed a fresh coat of paint!  

one last leg...

After using three of the four legs for a table....I had to use the this left over leg somehow....so I thought it made a nice hat stand along with some hinge pins for bracelets and an automotive mirror(not sure exactly if it came from a car or motorcycle?) to check yourself.

Ruffles and Rust Show

Thanks again to Sabrina and Lori for helping me out at the show!  I couldn't have done it without you!  And thank you to friends who stopped by for a hug and hello! 
The driftwood light sold....shoot...I was gonna keep that one!  Thanks Ron for the loads of driftwood!

pallet wood fits the part...

I found this little one at a yard sale in Oregon last summer.  One of the dresser drawers front's was missing some skin......so add some paint/and pallet wood and whalaaa.....  One of my best friends Lori bought this one!  Can't wait to see it in their home!

Chicken Wire Pendant

The left over lighting fit perfectly into this picture frame....wrapped with some chicken wire!

coffee beans and burlap

Our house is packed with furniture and lighting (and lots of coffee) for the upcoming Ruffles to Rust show this next weekend.  My kiddos are so great at putting up with the many projects going on in our home. 
This chair pictured above was a throw away.  It was clean but lots of rip and tears in the back of the chair.  I painted the front black...yes...painted the fabric.  I know a lot of people are skeptical about painting fabric but I have never had a problem with it.  You have to have the right fabric and the right paint for it to work without cracking.  I think oil based is the best...of coarse it takes longer to dry.
Thanks to my friend Ron for the coffee bags!  I loved how the chair turned out and will have this beauty for sale at Ruffles to Rust.
