Finally a nightstand for my side....

Found this nightstand at a small antique shop in my town... $30 woohooo

got it home .................. primer on it...

then ............ the finished product with a beautiful bunny nose pink color for my shabby chic bedroom.... I love it!!!

Gonna plant this little guy....

as soon as the rain stops...
Ive never been one to plant flowers or bushes of any kind.. - Reading all these blogs has inspired me to look for my green thumb.  My mother in law said that a knock out rose bush was very easy to care for.... and thats what I need.-  I cant get anything to grow.. so we will see what happens.- Wish me luck..

Do not touch!

wow.. My kids found this next while playing at their grandmas house..  They didnt touch it.  I was able to get a really good picture. Now they are very excited to go back to grandmas when the little birds arrive.-

Whats on/in your cabinet?

Lucky Day.....

Old metal chairs brought back to life.

My first project this week was bringing 2 old metal chairs to life...- I wish I would have taken a before pic.- these chairs were rusty and needing a good paint job.-- I found these chairs in my moms house when she passed away and I decided to keep them and some day paint them a color that she would have enjoyed.. PURPLE!!!...(her favorite color)-
Here is the finished project on my back patio.
