<span style="color: #b45f06;">old windows that framed patriotic fabric.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;">I usually snatch them up for $2 - $7.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did a light coat of paint and sanded the edges. As you can see this old table had some nail holes showing & even a minor crack. But I managed to sell this little darlin' at an occasional sale for $40.</div>

paint project. This was a major rescue!</div>

favorite. The small items sell better</div>

in my craft booth too.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My advice to others with this type of project</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is to SAND THE WORD down before painting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you look very close in real life, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can see it. Most people might not notice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It depends how picky you are!</div>

I love old mirrors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were so fancy back in the old days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Often times you'll find them, separated from their</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Here are a few of my recently<br />
painted old mirrors.<br />

I have been absent from my blog for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The return to my seasonal job has me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to find a balance in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's an adjustment every year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My new favorite project is painting empty frames. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been purging my stockpile of them </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& giving them each a face lift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've painted them all the same </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
color ivory & distressed the edges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You know the look. It's a cute jumbled mess</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of frames, usually on a mantle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think you could pull this off on top</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of any dresser or buffet.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This kind of project takes up my kitchen table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for a few days! It drives the family nuts!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the truth is, they are selling as fast as</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can whip them out!</div>

The very chunky one above was $1.50 at</div>

a thrift store. I got three like that. </div>

I plan to stock up at garage sales this summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then you can often get frames for .50 to $1,</div>

and maybe even free!</div>

This large frame was a total rescue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It had a very bad corner, which I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had to reconstruct. The pattern on it was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so pretty, I couldn't just toss this old frame.</div>

It looks crude, but it already sold!</div>

We'll just say THAT frame had character.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought two with a curvy edge.</div>

I love old buckets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have a million uses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can roll up blankets or towels in them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They look darling in any garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For simple decor, you can</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even just add a few birch logs.<br />
The neutral color blends in any room.</div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">I decided to use some paint</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">from my stockpile that's been sitting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">idle for quite some time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I'm thinking spring & pastels already.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">I swear my stash of jars is </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">reproducing. So I had to get busy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">and prep a few to sell. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">These jars got two </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">coats of Valspar paint. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Remember if you try this,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">keep the first layer as thin </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">as possible & let it dry overnight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I love the lightly sanded finish &</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">hemp twine wrapped around</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">using up some old jars.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">(I have more painted jars</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">These plain jars, with no embossed words, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">are ideal for making heart "windows".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Then if you add candy to them,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">they look super cute. The old glass mayo jars</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">are plentiful & plain like this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">I used actual JAR PAINT from the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">craft store. It really does stick the best!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Be warned, if you have a heart sticker</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">on, peel it off right away while the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">paint is wet. Then, for your second coat,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">add a fresh heart sticker when it </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">has completely dried.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Check out this old dark table...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXkShT_kUUfe8uHRL6wqCHSu2SgeNyCdIoZaKQoSVCMOG1cuCB8xAFW0v23s0vGXJ29tFJFmaACXPU_7AE6f90pqQEo13MZWyDu8FPThfUTmfPRjxD6DNkSWr5XNw2pDRCa24s4K250u2Y/s1600/P1290233.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXkShT_kUUfe8uHRL6wqCHSu2SgeNyCdIoZaKQoSVCMOG1cuCB8xAFW0v23s0vGXJ29tFJFmaACXPU_7AE6f90pqQEo13MZWyDu8FPThfUTmfPRjxD6DNkSWr5XNw2pDRCa24s4K250u2Y/s320/P1290233.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent a few hours sanding the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
extra glossy finish off this functional piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My inspiration for this table came</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from the Special Issue 2015</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Country Sampler's Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a cherry red drop side table</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with ivory legs in that magazine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After consulting my sister </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and mother about the magazine </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
table idea, I took the plunge on this </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
unique bold paint job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started this project by painting the legs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While it was upside down I did the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bottoms of each drop side, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since they will show when down</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from certain perspectives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvpjgrxdJScMBXhgikYJaiNFLLfF1FMGyAaE3WOiECwIGzkwdYVgO5OrkcrbzVtu9m7uMfkgd4LfgaipwpTaM-7pX_RsCRdaunmM7ZQaHiSo27Otm31NXRPRXUciRWVBlx8Tcb5Je6d11C/s1600/P1290234.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvpjgrxdJScMBXhgikYJaiNFLLfF1FMGyAaE3WOiECwIGzkwdYVgO5OrkcrbzVtu9m7uMfkgd4LfgaipwpTaM-7pX_RsCRdaunmM7ZQaHiSo27Otm31NXRPRXUciRWVBlx8Tcb5Je6d11C/s400/P1290234.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I had to completely cover the legs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so no dark paint would splatter down </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on my crisp ivory paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was also careful to protect all my cupboards</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from that strong pigment red paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love this type of table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It would come in so handy for holiday</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
meals, card games and tea time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The striped pattern is similar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the old grain sacks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a fun blend of modern & vintage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't you think?</div>

I prefer to use flat Valspar paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This color is called Rushing Red.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to go back with a swath</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of painted cardboard & match</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it to the proper sample.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mystery solved.</div>

This was the year of free old windows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Word has spread that I make various </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
things from the chippy old panes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My shed rafters are busting with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the stockpile! It's been a while since</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made some wall art windows.</div>

My handy dandy book called </div>

THE INSPIRATION STATION</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is loaded with phrases, quotes & titles</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for scrapbookers & cardmakers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use it to dream up new projects </div>

all the time.</div>

"eyeballed" them on!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">They call it "woodland" style.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13;">As an avid outdoors lover,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">decorating with arrows & antlers </span></div>

Hi folks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm excited to share a cool desk transformation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with you. I forgot to get a "before" picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But as you can imagine, it was your typical </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dark brown wooden desk. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the updated piece...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwmdgZH22zl32uGorOVQfRcPG4uHFnAXHGv4su8m7GD0rJLVNcltP8ouzyMxJbBXCCmtMQRSHcKOxqdm4SOPWrF-PBBaZQtIQxQOdVACTnAIi__wzXLucfnWBb7Kf1CBmLA0yjNSy3BSZ/s1600/P1290126.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwmdgZH22zl32uGorOVQfRcPG4uHFnAXHGv4su8m7GD0rJLVNcltP8ouzyMxJbBXCCmtMQRSHcKOxqdm4SOPWrF-PBBaZQtIQxQOdVACTnAIi__wzXLucfnWBb7Kf1CBmLA0yjNSy3BSZ/s400/P1290126.JPG" width="366" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a ready to paint, sturdy desk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It had minimal varnish & since I planned on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
distressing the edges, I did no sanding at all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose not to prime either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my opinion,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
skipping these steps should </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
only happen if you: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use Annie Sloan Paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plan on a very distressed look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clean well with TSP</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apply a super thin base layer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Give the first layer ample dry time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It had great hardware,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which can make or break </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your furniture sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were intricate, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fine & had a great patina!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's a messy, tedious process. But in the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
end it is very much worth the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've gotten pretty fast at it!</div>

Sometimes choosing the design can be tricky.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For creative stencils,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the biggest trick is to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
make sure your base layers of paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are good & dry. Otherwise, when you pull </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your tape & stencils off the paint will </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
peel right off with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't apply much pressure to the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tape either. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now the honest breakdown...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint brand: <b>Valspar</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
desk cost: <b>$5</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
selling price: <b>$80</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After cleaning,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 coats of paint,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stencil time,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& distress sanding:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about<b> 3-4 hours of work</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, I am already moving </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

That dark wax gives the illusion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of year of use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like the <u>dark</u> A.S. colors because </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can get away with skipping the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
clear wax step.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It can save you some money,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I often wonder if these style totes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are made for hauling paint cans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Quart cans fit mighty well.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The beauty of this type is that it's deep</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
enough to stand on either end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could hang it as a wall shelf too!</div>

This mellow green is the perfect </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
addition to the fall color palette.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It goes great with orange, red, yellow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and pale blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could easily switch it out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for Christmas color items in a few months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <strong>love</strong> that army green color,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's very natural & versatile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You should consider adding it to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
YOUR color palette.</div>
