A look at what's to come


Little preview for some projects that are still in process. Chair is almost done. The table is requiring a little assistance from my consultant (aka my husband!).

Teacher Teacher



The weekends for sales are closing down. So finding fun things to work on is getting harder. This is possibly one of the quickest fun projects of the summer. I still need to stain the seat before I sell it. The regular desk top has also been transformed to a chalkboard top.

Fine Finishes


Looking forward to seeing how these pieces sell. Going to do a Craft Sale at the end of October! Still working out pricing in my head.

Look Close

This might just look like a pile of junk! This is the first set of projects that I got once I decided that I was going to sell my little treasures! In there is a bench, plant stand, two stools and an office chair that was in process when I took the picture.

The Reason for all that Celery

Our formal dining room has been a crafty room, the shake and go car room, the art room and just plain empty off and on for the 7 years we have lived in our house. We've had the kitchen table from my growing up years under the house since we moved. No chairs though. So in my quest to refinish things and make them cute again. I took on doing chairs for the table. Our dining room is now a small step closer to being a real functioning dining area! Still on the search for a hutch, buffet, credenza or something to finish out the room a little bit more. For now this is my start!

Hope nobody is looking for this!


On my way to Old Navy I passed by the dumpsters for a few of the other businesses saw this lovely black chair sitting out there calling me to save it! Has to be one of the ugliest paint jobs I've seen. Lot bit of sanding and primer then of course some Celery Paint. Tada much better.

LIttle bit of IGP

Some Instant Gratification Project (IGP) for the boys.

Pretty Purple Table



Went to a sale with my neighbor one weekend, found this little baby for a whole dollar! Fixed her up and gave it to my momma!

Little bit of everything


It might seem like I have a thing for this green color! I have a bigger plan for the green chairs!

Sew Beautiful


Okay finally a before and after! I picked up this old sewing table at a garage sale for a whole 2 dollars! Painted, distressed and stained. Notice the lovely side chair!

Baby or a Chair?


Chair was picked up at a garage sale for $10.00. Kinda hard to decide what is cuter Baby or Chair.....hmmmm baby!

Dump Chair


John stopped by the transfer site on his way home for lunch one day and came home with a project chair. Can't beat free. I thought I had taken a before pic but I guess not so just the after!
