Did Someone Say "Old Drawers"?

I'm linking up with Funky Junk's Saturday Nite Special featuring "Old Drawers".  I have a few....

Now don't even ask what's inside each of these drawers!?

Notice a 'white' theme here?

I just recently found this old drawer.  I didn't care for the handle at all (it was kinda deco), so I had this old iron piece of hardware that I attached with rusty wire.

I found this old drawer which fit perfectly into my cupboard...sos now I can tuck away my ribbons.

A few other drawers throughout my home.

Well, it's 1:43 am...and I think I better go to bed.  I'll probably dream of drawers tonite!

"Must Love Dogs" ~ White Wednesday

It's no secret that I love dogs! 

A different kind of 'dog tag'!

The cute dog image was downloaded from The Graphics Fairy.

This 'dog' wall is between the kitchen and dining room, right as you enter from the back door.

The leash is on a hanger that I made from an old bucket slat.

A friend of mine in Nashville made this dog which has been duplicated from an antique dog.

I love this dog!

To the left is a message board which I made using antique linen.

I just thought this was cute!

Happy Fourth!

Fourth of July

Red, White & Blue

Shells & Stars

It just took me a couple of hours this morning to change out the living room to celebrate the Fourth with some color....Red, White & Blue!  First order of business was to do something about that coffee table/trunk.  I've so been wanting to see some white!

Since I don't have 'the perfect table' yet...I decided to try my bedside table (crock bench)...Humm;...not 100%, but getting better!

I found the stripped sham this week at the thrift store (Ralph Lauren...$1.99), snagged the quilt from my grandson's room along with the dark blue paisley pillow case and then out came my shell collection.

Collection of vintage flags...again from Javan's room.

This is a real seahorse...pretty cool, but it kinda freaks out my grandson!

I kept the dining room pretty simple...just filled a wire basket with white stars.

It was a good day!

Blessings,

White Wednesday ~ New Whites in the Living Room

A few new 'finds' for the living room.  The 'T" is from a shop that sold seashells. The paint has sand in it for texture.  I've had this for many years, but just put it on this wall the other day.  I just made the pillow on the chair last week from a vintage grain sack.  The 'footstool' is a great old white chippy wood box that I saw on Beths post at Old Thyme Marketplace (she was showing some of her new finds).  I emailed her right away...and now it's mine!  She's got great things...be sure to check out her blog!  This is a temporary 'fix' until I find the right footstool to recover.

I also made pillows for the sofa.  The darker pillow was made from an antique piece of rug-hooking.  Love the bird theme.  I finally finished the pillow from an antique grain sack (I even added cording to the edges..my first time!).

The tray on the very temporary coffee table was a recent find.  It's tin with original white chippy paint. I played around with a few 'vignettes', but what I really need to do is to get out my shells.  They will look great on the tray!

I was 'pillow happy' last week..  The center one is a 'box pillow' from a down cushion I had.  It's great to prop up on the arm for lounging!

A closer look at the pillows. Sometimes, I do good!

A new 'collection' of vintage light bulbs in a wire basket with white chippy paint. 

A few new things here too!

Check out this wonderful dimunitive antique chair!  It's hand crafted with many layers of wonderful white paint and dated 1895 on the bottom.  Unfortunately, the picture doesn't do it justice...it's a treasure for sure!

I made the 1 2 3 bottles yesterday.  My inspiration was the old bottles at fairs and carnivals used for the ring toss and where you knock down the stacked bottles with a ball!  I had some vintage curtain rings with old white paint which I've added!  The bottles are covered in canvas, painted white and then stencilled. Oh, just to let you know......they are 4 sale in my Etsy shop....plug....plug!

Lastly is this awesome frame.  Old, original layers of creamy white paint, chippy....and on sale....my favorite things.  I love it so good, I'll probably keep it on the wall until I find the perfect picture!

Thanks for letting me share my new stuff.  Be sure to check out all the White Wednesday posts at Faded Charm,  Thanks again Kathleen for being a marvelous hostess!

White Wednesday ~Am I Too Late For The WBC Party?

For my White Wednesday post last week, I showed a few shots of my desk/work table in my studio, and mentioned that I wasn't even considering  joining the Where Bloggers Create Party, but it did motivate me, so I mustered up some energy, got inspired, cleaned and organized my studio.  Wow...does it ever feel good!.  My room is rather small,  but I have somehow manged to find a home for most everything!  So, I missed the party, but still wanted to share (before it gets messy again)!

The studio is just off of the dining room with french doors as the entrance.  I had planned to paint the doors white, but that's not going to happen since we will be moving in several months.  I also wanted to repaint the room..  When we moved here almost two years ago, I had a little 'color attack' and thought it would be fun to paint out the room this bright green.  Loved it then....now....not so much!

I just put this shelf up, but the paint needs to be doctored up a bit.  I really don't like to repaint antiques, but it was baby blue!  Like my clock faces?  I have to confess, they are photocopies...just needed something quick to fill the shelves!

I'm also over the sheers and grapevine, but I probably won't  take 'em down til we start packing...I'm getting a little depressed at that thought....

My desk/work table is just an old picnic table someone was thowing away.  It's sound and sturdy!

I have a great view of the garden from the window.

Turning the corner to the back wall..

Antique fence section 'holds everything'

Old shoe factory  basket (lots of stuff stashed in here)

Oops..my unfinished rug hooking project!  Oh well, I like to look at it!

"The Cupboard"...I'm always changing around the shelves...

'Sure holds a lot of stuff'

The door leads to our side yard...I have to confess, most of the time, I can hardly get to the door because too much stuff is in the way.  I'm going to keep it clear from now on!

These are great old shutters...I've had them for a long, long time.  Sure hope I have the perfect place for them again when we move...

I'm now about to do something never attempted before......show the inside of this cupboard...

Ta Da....Not too bad!  The photo boxes were also that bright green, but with the help of my adhesive spray and some cute birdhouse themed wrapping paper...I fixed them up.  I also made labels with my Cricut machine (my newest favorite toy!)

So this concludes the tour....thanks for letting me share this part of me!

I'm on my way now to link up with Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday.  CYA there!

Blessings,

Susie
