Flat Screen TV Stand & more
Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted.
I know I promised pics in March but it just never happened.
There is always something going on around here. :)
So, here I am TODAY with some new stuff !
First, I want to show you the $25.00 buffet that I bought.
The one in the pic below is so similar and since I already had started painting it, I figured this one would work for the "before" shot.
BEFORE
We took the bottom scroll work off and replaced it with a piece of 1x3 pine.
Removed the ornate handles, sanded it all over, and got to painting- the interior and exterior was done. The paint is called "Summer Sand".
More sanding was done. Followed with a couple coats of Minwax "special walnut"stain and then rubbed in with a soft cloth. The handles I bought at Lowes for $5.97 each.
TA-DA!!
It is now a new TV stand. :)
AFTER (click to enlarge)
I love it!!!!!
Next project was this shelf.
This pic was taken back in October( the reason for the fall accessories).
BEFORE
Well, although I love primitives, I think everyone is on the barn star overload in decorating.
I mean you see them everywhere!!
I like to be different, lol. so...............
AFTER
I downsized on all the stuff surrounding the clock too.
The clock is not attached to the wall, rather it is sitting in a wrought iron display stand from Walmart clearance.
This is so much better and I think the clock still looks old.
clock price,including plate display stand- $20.00!
One more project ..........................
Pottery Barn- vintage pickling jar
I love these old oversized jars but, there was no way I could afford to pay the $179.00 that Pottery Barn was asking. So, I have been on a mission..........
...................and look at what i found..
It was at Hobby Lobby!!!!
on clearance AND in a better color that matched my home. SWEET!!!!!
Price $4.27 ( including tax!!)
The candle I have had since wayyy before the holidays and didn't really have a place to put it( it has found a home now).
The old rolling pin was a swap goodie I received.
Do you think I have done good while I was gone?? :)

Hello??
Yea, I am back online at home!! Woo Hoo!!!
Geez, I have missed reading what everyone has been up to.
I had a few problems with the keyboard and had to get it fixed a few weeks ago. I know to some it may not seem like a big deal, but not only did I have to get it fixed but I also had to fit the cost in my budget.
So..... 3 weeks later , it is done and I am here. :)
I have been busy :
spring cleaning around the house
drs. appts.
grocery shopping
looking at seed catalogs
looking for fabric to replace sofa throw pillows
planning some flower bed changes
and spending time with family,(thats the best part)!!
will get some pics on here this weekend too.
Now, off to read what you all have been doing
