Vintage Charm Magazine Organizer

Hello my lovelies!

Recently, I have been on an organizing kick!

Imagine my delight when I picked up this magazine organizer for .25 at a tag sale this morning.

 I decided to cute it up for my favorite decorating magazines!

 I used pages from an old Chippendale's furniture design magazine.

Trace and cut the shapes of your page and then apply paper with adhesive spray.

To decorate the end cap of the organizer I used a craft cut out 

from one of my Creating Vintage Charm magazines.

Little vintage cutie all fluffed up!

I think this would make a darling gift for a friend who loves decorating magazines  and vintage charm!

Such a fun inexpensive crafty project!

My darling sister at GKR Photography is in town and is shooting some photos of my family and home! 

The clarity of her photos REALLY make me want to look into getting a nicer camera.

These are my old French Statues that I found at a tag sale.

I believe they are some type of end posts that were used at the base of the stairs.

 And of course my beautiful baby doll...

and me.

 More pics coming!

Have a lovely day,

Shabby Craft Room Recycled Coffee Can Tutorial

Hello lovelies! 

I have been organizing my craft supplies.

I love all of the adorable organizers one can find at Michael's.

However, I am thrifty and wanted to figure out a way to organize my craft supplies without spending any money!

 I decided to create my own cute containers using empty  grocery cans!

Grocery Can Tutorial:

~Supplies~

Clean grocery cans

Adhesive Spray

Pretty Fabric

Scissors

Embellishments

Step 1

Apply adhesive spray to outside of can in small sections.

Lay fabric on adhesive sprayed section and gently smooth

 fabric to get most of the wrinkles out. 

Continue to work your way around the entire can spraying and then laying fabric until you meet up with your original starting point.

Step 2

 Trim top and bottom of fabric around can edges.

I left the edges a bit frayed for the shabby look but you can tuck and glue fabric if you like a polished look.

If the can does not have a peel off label and you are using a light colored fabric that shows lettering through the fabric,

 you can apply a second layer of fabric and repeat step 1.

Step 3 

Using your hot gun add a ribbon or trim around the edge.

Add fabric rosettes to tie in your colors and give your can that extra bit of Shabby fabulous punch!

Add your favorite creating supplies such as; paintbrushes, floral wire, scissors, pens, glue sticks, crystals etc!

My Shabby Chic Bedroom

Hello my lovelies!

Guess what I found at our local library thrift store???

A like NEW Shabby rose sheet set!

I REALLY want a Shabby Chic comforter!

Until I get one, I am using the flat sheet laid on top of my old comforter!

The flat sheet works pretty good on top and it is nice and light for summer!

I also used a ruffled bed skirt to create this canopy!

 

In the corner of bedroom I used a cool old mirror

layered in front of a vintage door.

 (FREE garage sale score)

To get the mirror up to the right height I used a pretty chair 

that I made over in Shabby white with a pink tshirt seat.

I love vintage wedding veils.

I let the veils trail down the side of the mirror!

Thank you for stopping by! 

I am off to do some crafting!

I will be partying with

Shabby Budget Organizing

Hello my lovelies!

Clutter control patrol is on the loose in my bathroom.

The challenge?

My bathroom is where everybody in the house gets ready.

It only has two spots to store bathroom essentials. 

Also, I wanted to be thrifty and use what I already had to make this work!

For daily essentials I used jelly jars with labeled Shabby Chic Tags from Michael's (12 pk for $1).

I already had these jars and my dear friend Lorena gave me this pk of tags.

Aren't they cute?!?!?!

 Next, I used a hanging organizer behind my bathroom door 

to store bathroom essentials that constantly got lost in bins under the sink!

I labeled each pocket so everybody knows where to find an item 

and where it needs to go when they are done using it.

 Underneath my sink always looks like a bomb went off

 because my towels were always mixed together, jumbled and falling out.

I used two baskets that I already had and then I used a 

cute dollar tree basket to separate the hand towels and wash cloths.

Tagged and labeled!!

Whoo Hoo!

 There you go! 

Shabby cheap and cheerful organizing on a budget!

 I will be joining 

My Romantic Home

and 

Pink Saturday!
