Re-purposed Wine Rack

I came across this old wooden thing at goodwill that I am assuming is a wine rack. A couple quick coats of spray paint and it sure is cute. I stuck glass Kerr jars filled with colored pencils, paints, ribbons and rulers in it for some super cute storage.

I sold this thing and now I miss it terribly!! I hope I run across another one. I will snatch it up and keep it for myself this time :)

Well, I just happened to have an old rack like this. It was dirty & rusty & perfect :)

There is even sentimental value in this old thing. It came out of hubby's grandparents' old deep freeze.

{before}

I used a clearance can of spray paint called "Raspberry" by Krylon. I did prime it first to be sure the paint would stick. Let it dry overnight and tied a little lace to the corner.

{gorgeous}

Isn't it fabulous!?

I can't get enough of it!!

This project was too easy!!

Now my daughter & I can fight over who gets it :)

An Adorable New Place for the Sugar

According to my calendar, it's only Tuesday....shouldn't it be Saturday already?? We have been super busy around here this week. Here's a peak at what's been going on!!

Cheerleading at basketball games.

Preparing for & holding a bake sale.

Winter music programs.

Pinterest stalking.....because, what would a week be like without it???? I fell in love & continue to fall in love every single time I see these canisters!! I don't know where these came from, but I do know where I saw some similar!!!! Walmart had them, but the lids were just silver. I grabbed some of those babies up & rushed home with a can of spray paint!!!!!!

Do you hear the angels singing?? Or is that just me ;)

{so sweet}

They really change the look of my kitchen counter. They are my favorite :) :)

5 days 'til Christmas!!!!

(and I still have gifts to wrap)

Pinecones in a Pail-10 Minute Christmas Project

I have been working & working to re-design my blog. I think I finally got it the way I want it, but boy was it a lot of work!!!! I am not very smart when it comes to computer stuff, so it was definitely a challenge!! I hope you all like my new look as much as I do :) I have another 10 minute Christmas project for you. I found my inspiration for this one over at Restoration House blog.

I had everything I needed for this around the house!! Love it when that happens :)

It needed a little heighth, so I plopped it on this little pot.

I actually went out in the yard & looked for the perfect sticks for this.

I am loving the simplicity of the pinecones & sticks paired with the elegance of the ribbon & balls.....

I am so not ready for Christmas....just because I will miss my Christmas decor terribly.....

Christmas Cloche-Another 10 minute Christmas project

I was inspired by this adorable cloche over at Fox Hollow Cottage. Her blog is just darling!!

I had some vintage Christmas ornaments that my dear friend gave to me & I hadn't found a project to use them with yet, so this was exciting for me!!

This little cheese dome/candlestick combo turned cloche was one of my very 1st projects. I have had it in my dining room with various things in it & thought it would be cute with some fake snow & a few of the vintage ornaments.

I think it adds just the right amount of Christmas cheer to this little cupboard.

Another project done in 10 minutes or less!!

10 Minute Christmas Project

We are all busy during the holiday season, so 10 minute projects are good projects right!?! I spent my Sunday afternoon at a photo shoot with my sister & my sweet baby niece. That's what's keeping my busy these days :) Anyways, let's get down to business.

I found this lantern type thing in the free barn at the dump. I stuck it in the garage until I could figure out what to do with it. Then I got some {pin}spiration & came up with this. I didn't paint it, it looked okay the way it was. I did have to add a piece of glass though. Since I didn't want to go have a piece measured & cut I used glass out of an old picture frame. It didn't fit perfectly so that is the back side ;)

Filled it with thrift store Christmas balls & pinecones.

I think it really came to life when I added it to my Christmas vignette.

Stay tuned for more 10 minute Christmas projects!!
