My new favorite chair.

                            Before                                                 After


Meet one of my New chairs.  I bought this at a local Estate Auction.  Do you love Auctions too??  Did you Notice the details on the right arm.  It was missing the bottom so I had to carve out a new one...thats why the wood is 2 different colors.



THis is how she sits most days.  I love all the details in the wood and the chippy paint.  I found this green fabric at Home Fabrics and fell in Love.  I love the way it looks against the creamy white.




I will be linking up.  Go here to browse the parties. And thank you for the link up ladies.

Hope you find something fun to do this summer. We just got back from Moab, Utah.  Me and my husband and kids had a blast and loved the sunshine....maybe too much. ha

Requesting some Advice??


This is a lamp I bought in past few weeks.  I have been trying my hardest to scrape and/ or remove those pretty roses. 

I looove the glass. 

I have big plans for it. but I  have not found a product to remove it.

ANY suggestions? 

 I have tried....Lacquer thinner, putty knife, furniture stripper, goo gone.  I am beginning to think its permanent. 

If the roses are etched into the glass is there a way to remove it? 


This is a Clock I picked up at a local thrift store....

Did I ever tell you I love Clocks?

  Well I do...most of mine dont work but this one does and I totallly scored on this one.  I will show you pictures of the finished product soon!

I Got my Thrift On

Every now and again a girl needs to shop.  As much as I love to shop for clothes and other things. (I heart Target).
I love to Go looking for a bargain and a sweet little pROject. 

SO heres a few Pictures of items I left at the store and some I couldn't resist!


Loved these chairs!!! If I wouldve had a truck i probably wouldve bought these.


I already have 2 chairs to re-upholster and I will not allow myself to buy another til I get those done!
 

I will get those chairs done sooner if I wont allow myself to buy more. 

 SOme type of psychology....hope it works.
LOL! 
Did I mention I LOVE ME some Chairs! all kinds just love 'em 

I Just got some New charms for charm bracelets & charm Necklaces.

 I bet you cant guess what they look like??




this is a custom Charm necklace that i did for a client. 

 SHe had a piece of an old key and some charms from when she had her boys.

 I added the rest. Her personality fits it to a T!

Girl you got it goin on


Okay so I left this too...200 dollars is WAAY to much to pay for it at a thrift store.

well in my opinion 

I think its a score for 100 though. Its obviously in good shape and has a mirror.

I would have loved to buy this for Averys room.

It would be so beautiful all off white and shabby chic.  Or a beautiful statement color too. oooh I love it

these were school seats....

I dont have a place for these but they would be neat somewhere!


I didnt get any of these either but I liked the one on the left. 

 I love milk glass.
 
I couldve done something definately shabby to this!

  these chairs could come to life with a coat of paint and some new fabric. 

 I am a sucker for wicker.

These chairs are very similar to what mine looked like before the Re-do
 check out what they look like now here



So the wait is over...................................

This Is What I took HOMe


I got this dresser with these really neat drawer pulls, they are square and I love them!
]
 I will be re-doing this dresser as soon as it gets a bit warmer.



I did take this lamp home.

Do you love the roses on the glass?

Me
not so much...

but i do love everything else about it!
I also got a paper towel holder, a milky white glass lamp and another lamp that looks promising.


when I get these done YOu will be the first to see EM!

promise!

Much love.................heidi
