What have I been up to since Christmas?

Since my last post I made it through finishing my living room re-vamp, hosting two holiday parties back to back, and surviving Christmas morning with my family.  Last week we got cable for the first time in a year and for the last two days I have been sitting on the couch catching up on all the Real Housewives that I missed this year.  That has been fun!  So, now it's time to get back to work.  Well, sort of.  I am on my way to pick up a little girl that I have been mentoring for four years and she will be staying with us through New Years.  So, I will be doing a little here and there.  I have some final room posts to show you but I wanted to share a few home decor re-vamps that are in that room first.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!



This rocker was given to me by a customer that thought I could use and re-sell it but I loved it so much that I had to keep it for myself!






I have a thing for these metal eagles.  This one was given to me by one of my best friend's during a yard sale trade.    I can't remember what I gave her but I am super happy with what I got.




I got both of these for $3.00 at the re-sale store.  A little cleaning and some black paint and they will make a statement as wall hangings.  



This was an old wooden ladder that I cut in half.  I refinished both sides a little differently and put one in my front living room and I am using that as a blanket valet and this one will literally be used to reach the tops of these shelves.   





I know this a/c register isn't that exciting but it may inspire someone to re-vamp one of theirs.  It's a super easy project!

  1. Well you've been busy just dinkin' around the place,huh?
    I liked all your projects. I'm keeping an eye out for a couple of rockers like those. I'd like them for my front porch (as soon as we get the leaks stopped)
    The eagles are cool-- reminds me of my mom, she collected them and loved them!
    Now as for the scrolled iron work....LUCKY!

    I am looking for something just like that to go behind my wood burning stove-- what is back there right now is purely functional and necessary to protect the wall--I'm looking for something ornate to hang there for the sake of prettiness! Those would be perfect; or an old gate or a really cool grill work from an old truck...I'm not picky!

    take care and have a great start to a wonderful new year! Pat
