One of my bedrooms I could not figure out a way to put the remotes or a lamp by the bed, because the room is so small, and I do not have another nightstand. I remembered that I had all of these OLD crates sitting around, but I didn't like how low it was on the floor. I stationed it to the wall. It worked great! Now I have tons of old cans, tins, bottles,etc. and I am going to work on making an arrangement of some type to go beneath it, so that it doesn't look so empty.
We have had nothing but cold, rainy days, so I have spent the time working on my own home. I hung a new shelf, and added some new pieces I had from our family. Our walls are so full, I am now hanging things from our tin ceiling!! I had a friend over after church Sunday and she said it looked like Cracker Barrel. I don't know if that is a compliment or not. I think that they are so full of junk, you can't see it all!! Oh well, I love antiques!!!!!!!!

I have shown how I LOVE sharing my projects with my blog. Well, here is my latest one, and I love it so much, I have started another one just like it!! A farm table!!
It started very simple, and I was going to just stain it, and I was so displeased. I stained the top pecan, and the legs, red mahogany.
So, I painted the mahogany, and sanded over different parts of it to bring out the stain, to give a rough, aged look. I polyed the top with 3 coats to seal it.
I painted 4 different chairs, and added this give color. FINISHED!! I had a lot of fun with this project, and it is so easy. Just make sure and seal your work.

Is is summer time yet???? I am screaming to get out, and work on some beautiful items!! Every time I have a day planned, it rains or it is to cold! I did get a few things finished inside, so I wanted to share.
My Kitchen wall is now covered in antique cookie cutters, antique tins, and antique cooking utensils. Hope no one needs to borrow anything.
This is the up thing! Laser pics on wood, rocks, glass, t-shirts, etc. They charge a huge amount, and it is so easy!!!!!! Just make sure you don't copy your pic backward.

You know, I thought that I was doing really good, and going to post for you all the wonderful things that I have made here in the last 2 days and bought today when I went flea marketing. Little did I know, I got on my blog, and noticed, I never posted a pic for you of the finished project "doggie bed"! I do apologize for this. I will take a picture of it first thing tomorrow, and put it in the column next to us here. Let me share with you some great photos that are what I consider some never pass ups at flea markets when you are out and around.
