Style on a Budget

Classics never go out of style and they don't have to "break the bank" either. This corner cabinet doesn't look like much right now. But it will!! Why? Because a classic like a simple, handmade corner cabinet is forever.Look at the nice deep shelves it has, once upon a time, someone made a plate slot on the shelves as well, so plates can be safely leaned against the back wall of the cabinet. Lots of storage below. Take my creative word for it, this is going to be so cute when we re-make it! We bought it just yesterday "for a song" but DH and I already have our plan in mind on what to do to make it "unique and one of a kind"! Stay tuned!! You will be amazed!!

Chalk Board with shelf

I know everybody in blogland has used chalkboard paint in lots of different ways. I'm no different. I ran across this old window recently and it had a piece of molding still connected but it was longer than the window. DH evened it up by cutting of the excess molding and I painted the glass with chalkboard paint, turning it on its side to make the chalk shelf below. It has an old screen door latch on back that it can be hung by. Clever , huh? Keep your eyes open to different options, ya never know.

Aging Beautifully

Today as DH and I are outside preparing for the upcoming Tag Sale, I noticed some of our furniture is kinda like we are , some has aged better than others! One thing that is aging beautifully right now though are my drying hydrangeas by the back door. We've "babied" these plants for the past 2 years and this year they blessed us with beautiful blooms! So I decided I'd save some. Aren't they beautiful? If you have hydrangeas, do you dry them and get to enjoy them for even longer?

Happy 4th of July! This is my display of Red, white and blue in my "tea booth" in The Galleries on Gordon, Chickamauga, GA. If you are local, come see us!
