A girl's best friends....

.....are sometimes just some glue and a couple cans of spray paint!!!


I've saved up some things that I've been working on to share with y'all today....can you tell I've been a busy girl?!?!

 So....let's get started!!!

Don't you absolutely adore the Dollar Tree?!?

Oh, me, too!!!

Here are a couple of "hurricanes" that I made....using materials I got there....kinda stole borrowed this idea from Ms. Allison @ House of Hepworths.

 I actually didn't use that glue....found that E-6000 works better for glass.

I glued the taper candle holder to the hurricane and added rocks from the Dollar Tree.  I had the candles, raffia, and the leaves on hand....so I just tied the raffia around the hurricane....hot glued some leaves together and stuck them underneath the raffia....so that I can change it out for the seasons!

Who's afraid of color?!?!?  

Well....I have been most of my life, it seems.  
 Lately, I've decided that I need a few "pops" of color, since most of our house is pretty neutral.  Don't ask me why....but I decided that I needed PURPLE in my kitchen....after all, with the grape theme in there....didn't that just make sense?!?!?
I'll let you decide....

 This is the breadbox in the kitchen.

(please ignore the dust on top of it, please!!!)

It never holds bread....actually it's where I stash my dark chocolate to hide it from the boys!

;)

I taped off the copper insert.....

 ....used one of the best paints on the market....in my humble opinion, of course.....

 .....and after applying a coat of glaze....here she is in her new home!!!

It's amazing to me the difference glazing makes....if the color is too bright....adding the glaze will mute the color and make it look a bit "antique"!

This is a little foot stool with a hinged top....sorry I didn't get a before pic....I get a bit excited with the mood hits to revamp something!!!

I had covered the cushioned top a few years ago, but decided it needed a bit of an update to match our "new" bedroom.  So....I spray painted the stool with Krylon (of course)....Bahama Sea....one of my new favorite colors....glazed it....and recovered the top with the same red toile that I used in the memo board makeover.

 And....here she is sitting on my side of the bed.

And....remember this green armoire....

 .....that got painted red and put in the bedroom to hold my sweaters?

 Well....it got painted....again!!!
This time with a version of the Bahama Sea....then, once again I used my trusty glaze on it....and I LOVE it now!!!

 There's something about furniture looking old and antique....that I just adore!!!

Could it be because I'm getting old myself?!?!

Naahhh!!!!

;)

Happy Friday, Everybody....hope you have a fantastic weekend!!!

In His Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
