Shelf Redo

I wanted to let you know that I have linked up to




http://www.reinventedkb.com/2010/06/perfectly-proportioned-polka-dots-on.html#links



Go over and take a look at all the great finds, make overs, etc. I must say that I just love all of these!




See this below?  It's a pillow cover that is old old old and this nice little old man was selling it for 50 cents!  It's now mine and I may frame it as it is in good shape but the wear and tear of the girls may be too much for it.  I have a few other items that I need to take photos of. 






I found this at a garage sale on Friday and I could really use some extra shelf's in the bathroom.  It was this white and had a couple of rust areas but not rusted bad.  I took it home and sprayed some rust stopper stuff on the areas and then I started to spray painting it black.  It has taken two days because of all the areas but now it looks great!  Sorry about the messy car port but this is the area that I redo a lot of things and right now I have five other items in different stages. 
This is the knobs and they were gold.  So by spraying both black and red I have kind of a marble effect.  I like them a lot!

This is the shelf and I haven't put a lot on it.  I had to finish painting the wall above the brown and I had previously painted the tile a lighter tan.  I'm making my bathroom my Paris area so this is the start.  I wish I could show you more but the room is small and it's not finished!! :)  More updates later!!

Built in Cabinet

This is a built in china cabinet and it's located right where you come into the kitchen.  It's a great spot as you couldn't put anything big there.  I've been pondering if I should paint it white.  My goal is to eventually paint the kitchen cabinets white but not this year.  I moved into this house in October and there are a lot of other things that need to be done.  My question is - what would you do?

In this photo you can see a little of the wallpaper and I don't really care for wallpaper but I like it in the kitchen here.  It adds to the charm.
I did find some great things at the neighborhood garage sale that was at my friends.  We did well at what we sold and at finding some bargains.  Maybe tomorrow I can post.
Have a great Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are!!

I Received a Package!!

Tonight I didn't get home until after 8pm from work.  Today is my 12 - 14 hour day and I'm always exhausted.
I opened the door to get the mail and there was a package between the doors!  This is the package but then when I open this package I found ----
Another Package soooo I opened this one and found
This package with some beautiful fabric showing through!  Now I'm really excited because these are my colors!!!I received a purse organizer, a business card holder that are both in the same Beautiful fabric and then there is this cute cream colored bag with a green satin ribbon as the tie and it says "Made to Treasure."  What could it be?  Is this cute or is this cute????  A pin cushion that looks like something you can eat with a lady bug on top!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I love everything and would have been happy with one thing but instead I received 4 count them 4 items!  The photos do not show how wonderful these are but I was so excited that I had to share right away!  I'll take more photos later and show you and I also love her business card.
This was won through the Sew Mama Sew giveaway and this was sent all the way from Oman!  This is wonderful and I hope that you will visit Mayya at www.sewchicandunique.com
All of her items are hand made and believe me when I say the ones I received are wonderful!
