THIS LITTLE ARRANGEMENT IS IN MY DINING ROOM.  I MADE THE CHAIR SHELF FROM AN OLD CHAIR WE HAD RECEIVED THAT THE BOTTOM PART COULDN'T BE FIXED ON.  MY HUBBY ADDED A PIECE OF BOARD ON THE FRONT AND IT BECAME A SHELF.




ON IT SITS ONE OF MY ALTERED BOTTLES I MADE FOR OUR SALE AND I KEPT LOL. A DRIED DELPHINIUM AND A BLESSINGS PACKET MY FRIEND MADE FROM VINTAGE SHEET MUSIC.

My lantern from my daughter for my B-day.  My old door is in the background with my architectural shelf with more mercury glass on it.













This is a little arrangement in my living room behind my couch.  I still have the mercury glass in the living room, I LOVE MERCURY GLASS!  have I said that before:).

MORE LIVING ROOM PICS

Here are a couple more pics of things done in my living room.

A shelf I had in our sale but I brought it home to live with me :)



I put some printed  burlap behind the frame and hung the sconce in the front.

MY NEW TO ME LIVING ROOM

I chose gray and cream with pops of yellow a bold yellow for my new room.  

I am adding some rusty metals and some chevron in with the mix.  This is totally out of my element, but I think I really am liking it!!

Frames on each side of a window found at Michaels for $1.99 each.  The chevron hangy thing at HL for 50% off.
I need to find something to hang inside the other frame.



I slipcovered my wing chairs.  I found the pillow at TJ Maxx a while ago and knew I would use it.  The metal chicken wire can I got there also.  I am using it as a side table.

PALLET WOOD SIGN ALMOST FINISHED

MY FIRST PALLET BOARD SIGN



I AM GOING TO ADD A WORD IN THE MIDDLE I'M JUST NOT SURE WHAT YET I KNOW I WANT IT TO BE IN YELLOW BECAUSE IT IS IN THE LIVING ROOM.

IT WAS SO EASY I JUST CUT THREE OF THE BOARDS APPROXIMATE SIZE AND THEN ADDED TWO SMALLER BOARDS TO THE BACK, SCREWED THEM IN TO HOLD ALL THE BOARDS TOGETHER.  I THEN STAINED THEM A DARK WALNUT (I'M TRYING TO ADD MORE OF THE RUSTIC DARK WOOD IN WITH MY WHITE SHABBY ITEMS), THEN JUST STENCILED THE CHANDELIERS ON THE FRONT.

I AM MAKING SOME DIFFERENT ONES FOR OUR SALE COMING UP THIS WEEK.  I'LL SHOW PICS NEXT WEEK OF THEM.

More vignettes around the home.
