I’m sure you’ve seen the ‘Rules’ pictures that are all over Pinterest recently. There are House Rules, Marriage Rules, Play Room Rules etc. I decided to create one for the lake house – thus Lake House Rules. I googled the term, lake house rules, which […]
I’m in love with this makeover! I think it’s because of the stenciled dotted wall. I love polka dots, they just make me happy. I actually finished this project, well, 98% finished it – all I needed to do was put the labels on the […]
Truth, right? The beauty of this beautiful world, especially America – is that we can be whatever we want. This is something that we teach our kids every day beginning when they are just a toddler and we ask them what they want to be […]
What do you get when you use cedar, an old baking pan, a mixing beater, some screws and good ole, Poppy ingenuity? A birdhouse!
My dear sister saw a post on CraigsList for free furniture. She knows how I love to makeover furniture, especially free furniture!! So, she insisted that her hubby go with her to pick up a load of furniture just for me. I know, she’s awesome, […]
I have decided that there are three types of materials I primarily like to work with: wood, metal and glass. I’ve been collecting ideas for crafty projects on Pinterest made with all three. Check out my boards if you want some inspiration! Crafty with Wood […]
I found this fantastic vintage sewing machine base at a little picker’s heaven store near Ardmore, AL. It’s just a little ways down the road from the guy who has a building full of stuff I mentioned earlier. I’m not even sure if the place has a name, but it’s right on Highway 53 north of Huntsville. If you want to go just drive up 53 and look on the right for a tiny building with a TON of stuff out front.
I think the sewing machine base was $30 and in really good shape considering it was sitting out front only covered by a tarp to protect it from the weather. Inside the store I found the metal drawers for $5 each. I spray painted the sewing machine base a bronze color and then spray painted each of the drawers a different pastel shade. I also added a chipboard label to the fronts of the drawers.
To hold the drawers, I build a cabinet out of sanded plywood perfectly sized for the drawers to slide in and out easily. The top is also sanded plywood accented with stenciled design.
