Dining Room Table Re do
I Built my home in 2010 and during that time dark colors were in. Black tables, Black coffee and end tables – darker wall color, dark cabinets and every shade of tan, brown and cream colors were in. Flash forward to 2017 / 2018. The Era of Farmhouse everything. When every suburbia mom wants the “Farmhouse” look yet they don’t live in a Farmhouse. I am still trying to understand this. So how does all of this fit in with my Dining Room Table Redo? White on white is not my style – I am a girl that loves me some color and depth. Although I also do realize that…

Stamped metal and leather cuffs made from old belts
This summer I was in charge of a youth camp for girls ages 12-18 years old. The girls always like making crafts for one of the activities during camp. As I thought about the kinds of crafts the girls like to make. I thought about how much effort goes into cutting wood and supplies for crafts that we have made in the past at youth camps. Often I have found that the girls only liked the items made at camp for a short period of time and then they are thrown away or donated to thrift stores. Wanting to make something that wasn’t too large or took a lot of…

DIY – Refurbished Vintage metal patio chairs
My parents had this darling vintage patio table with patio chairs. The is a glass table with white iron chairs with yellow vinyl cushions on them. They had purchased this patio set at a yard sale several years ago. After many sunny summers and long hard winters the yellow vinyl finally deteriorated. My dad had put all of the chairs in his truck to take them to the landfill. While looking them over I see that the metal frame on the chairs is in great shape and can easily be painted. Knowing I could figure out something for the seat I asked my dad to bring the chairs to my…
