A Sweet Cupboard Cleanup!

Hello! I wanted to share with you my afternoon activity!

I have a very cool old Hoosier Cupboard that I keep all my crafty projects and misc goodies in.

Lately I have been doing some heavy dumping on it.

Before Cleanup

After Cleanup

I am actually kind of hoarding this cabinet, I planned to put it into my booth when a big item sold but I always seem to find something else. LOL! I love the cutting board pull out and it has such wonderful deep storage and ohhhhh it is so pretty with the pretty shabby rose decorations (all incredible thrifty finds)! I painted the Roses sign a little wonky but cute.

Well, it is my dear husbands day off so I have to keep my crafting and blogging to a minimum! Hope you enjoyed my cupboard cleanup. I wonder how long it will stay clean??

Check back (I am reaaaalllllllyyyyyy hoping my dear husband will hang some chandeliers and move my shabby cabinet in)!

Hugs,

Olivia

A Sweet Dream Bedroom Update!

Good Morning and Happy Blessed Sunday!

After all of my treasure hunting this weekend I then had to find a new home for my goodies! My bedroom is not completely shabbed out, I am trying not to turn it into a pink and white puffy heaven just yet anyway.

The two chairs are an old junkin find repurposed by my sweet friend Sue. I added a table in between the chairs to have something fun to pile goodies on. I was concerned about the metal chairs at the end of the bed, thinking my dear husband would wack his leg on them and he did. He still told me the room looked really good. AWWWW~

My sweet little sign was $1 I used a $2 mirror for a tray and it fit perfect on the little table. The vintage hat $1 and the gloves make me swoon, it is hard to see them but they are cream leather with a soft cutout.

To my glee I found two feather wreaths!  I got them for $2 and then yes I did it again...SQUEAL!!!! My junkin best friend once again had to look around for a table to hide under! LOL

Anyway I decided to use one above my bed...the other one HAS to go into my booth.

I also added a mirror to one side of the room to make it appear larger. The bedspread overlay is $1 tag sale find...I did not know if it would fit, but I think it works! I would love to have the more expensive version but you know me I wait until I can get it cheap!

This is a sweet cabinet my husband built out of old barn wood. The birdcage was an old find for $3 and the mannequin was $15 she was originally in my booth and got broken so I took her home and put my good one in the booth, that is why she is all propped up. The chandelier is really neat, I am waiting for my dear husbands day off to hang it for me! LoL

Junkin Chandelier $5 Yippee I am thinking of painting it white??

A sweet little corner chair coceals a really giant fan we use in the summer and also to help us sleep.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my little bedroom tour~

The scripture for the week I am teaching my kids and I will share with you is

"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want"

Psalm 23:1

Says alot in just a couple of words. My prayer is to trust God with all of my needs, to really know and believe that he is there for me every step of the way. (Many time I try to be the one leading when it should really be God, sigh....)

Well, I hope you all have a beautiful and Blessed day!

Please check back for more shabby goodness!

A Sweet Nesting Cherub!

Good Morning and Happy Friday! 

I fell asleep too early so now I am up with the birds and cherubs! I will share with you my newest angelic addition! 

BEFORE...

AFTER a visit to the Shabby Chic Beauty Salon! I found this little beauty for $1 at a tag sale and I could see that a coat of white paint would make it Fabulous!

I found the little nest at a tag sale, it fit perfectly in the arms of the cherub and then I added the pretty roses, I think it is a nice touch although the nest could be changed out for a candle or even a delightful sweet treat!

It found its final home on my Shabby Buffet to the left next to my lamp and wedding picture...

Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day!

Shabfabulous Tray Makeover!

Before Picture~

 Mommy's little baby doll got in on the Shabby Tray Makeover~ We got paint all over us! She always wants to help me and 95% of the time I let her ! EEEK! Even our kitty ended up with paint on him. LOL I had to work fast to clean up her " globs" because she wanted to use "Mommy's big brush" and of course I let her~But honestly who could resist she is so cute and determined!

 Of course it wall all worth it in the end! It makes me want to be pampered so I can relax with some Romantic Country Magazines and be pampered!

I can imagine myself with a cup of Hot Cocoa and my favorite Magazine!

Pretty little vintage Girl Bell with a broken wing I got for free~ Makes me love her more!

 Well, as pretty as my tray turned out globs and all...I think it needs to make its way into my Flea Market booth~ MAYBE!~

Junk Haulin' a Tea Cart!

Soooo.... this is the cute red tea cart that was supposed to make its way into my Flea Market Booth....alas it bumped around in my car until I came up with the perfect spot to put it in my house! 

MISSION: To paint it white and load it up with Shabtastic Goodness!

 

 3 1/2 Cans of spray paint later and a serious visit to the Shabby Chic beauty Salon and ....

Waaaaa LAAAA!

So, some of you might be thinking....it was pretty cute red?! I agree....but where in the world would a red tea cart go in my house???? When everything is Shabbed out and painted white! Well, I adore this makeover even though it took so much paint! 

On top I decorated with a cute tin ($1.50) at a garage sale, I squealed so loud at this find my friend probably wanted to hide under a table~

A close up of the delightful tin full of crushed roses~

A pretty teapot I got for free because the foot was broken... I have it propped up in a candle and the lace bow conceals its identity!

Birdhouse above $5 tag sale find....junk inside total cost of about $1.50~ Love the thrifty!

Well, I hope you enjoyed my Shabby Tea Cart! Check back to see why my hands are covered in a white paint mess! Yes, I am blogging and painting at the same time!

Birdhouse Makeover from Drab to Fab!!!

To the right is a very mistreated birdhouse with hot glue stuck to the front and a half painted roof...

 

Waa Laaaa! It has been to the Shabby Chic Beauty Salon and gotten the works! 

First I painted it white with a pretty pink roof! 

 

 

Then I added a pretty rose decal to the front, I had a hard time getting it to stick so I had to let the wood glue dry over night and then paint over my glue mess. LOL~

 

It found a home on my entryway table. 

Hope you liked it, I think it turned out really pretty...it was super cheap. Thats what I love!

Check back for the Shabby Bench Redo!
