REPURPOSED BASKET

Today I am showing you my latest project.  I was in need of an end table by one of my chairs, after I moved things around, you know how that is always changing things , enter smiley face, I have always loved this basket and it was put away.  And the little brain got to thinking how to repurpose it.

I found a round piece at the lumber company for very cheap so that made me very happy! I sanded and stained that piece.  I made sure it was a couple inches bigger than the top of my basket.   I sanded the basket down and did some antiquing on it.

And added some farmhouse numbers to it.  Then I glued the round piece to the top of the basket and wala it was done. 

See how lonely that chair would have been.  I love it when something is in your mind and actually turns out once you do it.  As you know that doesn't always happen.

My Bedroom Reveal

This is one photo of the bedroom redo.  You can see how the stenciled wall has a sheen to it.  I need to take some more pics of different angles.  But I just wanted to let you know that it is almost finished :)  I like how it all turned out.  At first I was fretting it :).


I will post more pics later of the different decor I used.   I tried to put some rustic in with the elegance to sort of balance it out  (and to help the hubby feel better).  I actually am very lucky in that area he lets me decorate any way I want to as long a s I am happy he says :).

Made over porch post

I found this porch post at a yard sale and knew I could do something with it.  I cut the top part off, I know I hated doing it but I wanted it to fit in my house.  I put a base on it and attached a bird house on the top.  It still needed something, because I put it in a corner I wanted it to have light.  So I put an electric candle in it.
I had an old garden gate laying outside that I cleaned up and put on the front and decorated that.  I hung a metal cone from the front and put roses in it.
This is fun to decorate for the seasons I always put something different inside the birdhouse.  Snowman for winter, pumpkin for fall and a bunny for Easter :)
