Another Sewing Machine Table

This table was pretty beat up with graffiti all over it and the sewing machine was still hanging out of it. After gutting the sewing machine, a fresh new coat of paint and some new knobs gave it a life again.

Modern Chairs Made New

Grannie's Rocker

This rocker was all alone on the side of the road. With some paint, some drift wood and a vintage pillow cover, grannie's rocker is made new.

Today at the Huskies Track and Field Meet

This afternoon the kids and I went to visit Jimmy at his track meet. Oscar kept thinking he was going to race today. He kept saying, "I'm going to win today mom, I"m gonna win." One of Jimmy's athlete's (Joe) was kind enough to sprint with Oscar. Oscar won and he loved it. Then he and Frances had to race Jimmy of course.

Good times in the Garage

This is a pretty silly picture of my friend Jo who just gave me a bunch of junk.(Goodies to those of us junkers.) We had such a great time rummaging through some sweet finds she had saved for me in here garage. Thank you Jo!!!!

Modern Driftwood Chairs

The side table just needed a paint job. The chairs were a little challenging. One of the seat cushions was a pillow and the other cushion had no more life to it. So after much thinking-I thought I would use drift wood as the seats. The frames were recoverd with new fabric. Once I saw the furniture on Bleu Nature I felt ok with this idea. Bleu Nature is way out of my league but I love the concept of using drift wood with modern design.

vintage glass light fixture

This light I found the other day at the thrift shop. It looked like it needed to be simplified and could be beautiful again.

Vintage clawfoot

I had to paint this clawfoot and have it be a bookend. Its not displayed that way in the picture-but I"m bringing another bookshelf in that will better display it.

Sewing Machine Table

This was pretty simple-I just had to gut the sewing machine. Which when I look at this table it reminds me of Oscar helping me. He got out his tool belt and said, "I'll help you mom." As he was helping me he said, "You are a hero mom." I was like, what? He said, "Yeah, you are like spiderman." I guess thats the best compliment I could get from my four year old. I'll always remember that one.

Sign for the shop

I painted "Vintage Clothing" on this sign the vintage mall already had. Oscar wanted to hold the sign here.

Some more chalkboard art

I found an old frame and used some old plywood for the "Love is patient, Love is kind in french. The other piece is a garden stand of some sort, maybe? I don't know what it was used for but I attatched a painted piece of plywood It says, "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."(in french of course)
