Baskets and more baskets

Good morning fellow bloggers.....

Its a gorgeous day here today.....I am in the process of shampooing my carpets...I thought since its warm enough to get the windows and doors opened I would get my carpets shampooed ....That's just part of the process of my fall cleaning....

I'm moving two area rugs into our new sun room for the time being... Its cement floor and very cold on the feet..Its not finished inside yet...hubby just got all the wiring done over the weekend.....

I went out to are local flea market on Saturday and picked up these baskets that were $2.00 a piece...The picnic baskets was $4.00 which I didn't think was to expensive....I don't know what I am going to do with the little wooden cubby yet...but I couldn't pass it up..

Since I have all the wooden beams cleaned for fall that is where these baskets are going along with my others I collected.

So this will be it for now....I have to get back to my shampooed carpets..

Wishing everyone a wonderful day.

Until next time....Trena

Bowl Rack

Happy Saturday everyone....
Its a cold and rainy day here in Pa. today again......Supposed to clear off and get sunny this afternoon...Hope everyone else is having a better weather day than we are here...



I mentioned in my last post that I made myself a bowl rack for on my one wall....I've been looking at these for along time....So I decided just to give it a try and make myself one....


I free handed the side boards to get just the right curve in it....It took me a few trys....but I think it turned out pretty good for an amateur...




This is a front view......

This is a side view .....

I had bought a set of three wooden bowls a couple of weeks ago just for this rack....two are on the bottom shelf....Put two cutting boards...two black bowls and a star plate on the top shelf for now...

I painted it black then put an overcoat of barn red ....I am getting to many burgundy pieces in my house so I went with the barn red....After I applied the walnut stain the barn red got a real deep burgundy.....so I figured what the heck....its going to stay like that...



So that is what I have been working on today......I'm going to get somemore fall cleaning done since I can't get outside to do anything...


Everyone have a great weekend....


Until next time....Trena

Fall items added to selling blog....

Happy Friday everyone......

It's a cold 54 here in Pa. today....started raining early this morning....I guess I shouldn't complain...we really need the rain here....

I figured this would be a good day to add fall items to my selling blog.... http://www.rusticprimitives.blogspot.com/ So if you get a chance check out all the pumpkins and fall shelf sitters .....I've been working on fall crafts these past couple of months ..now its time to start making Christmas to.....

I was working on a bowl rack that I made for myself yesterday....I got the first coat of black paint on it and the overcoat of Barn red so far...I have to sand it down and stain it but with the weather not cooperating I can't set it outside to dry...This might be put on hold until tomorrow afternoon when the sun is expected to shine again...
I've also been tweaking around the house,since I started my fall cleaning....The shelf that I had done a makeover a couple of months back has been moved to the Livingroom so the bowl shelf will be taking its place above the dinningroom table.....

So thats about it for me....
I have alot of housecleaning I want to get done so this will be a fairly short post....
Wishing everyone a good weekend.....stay safe...
Until next time....

A touch of fall in the air....

Happy Tuesday everyone....

I hope you all had a great Labor Day....we had our family cookout on Saturday....just family....

Yesterday hubby and I went to Lowes to pick up more lumber for the sun room... and I stopped at Jo Ann fabrics for some fall decor....they had there fall decorations 40 to 50% off....

I wanted some fall flowers for in my candle box for my Oak table in my Dinning room....
















I just got my fall decorations out over the weekend....I usually don't start decorating for fall until after Labor Day.......I'm not one to rush into fall.....I enjoy summer and the warm weather to much...

Even though I have been making fall decor since July I'm not that anxious for cold weather to start.....

I'm in the process of adding more fall items to my selling blog......http://www.RusticPrimitives.blogspot.com/ so stay tuned for that...


Everyone have a great day....talk to you all soon....

Until next time....Trena

My new adventure.....selling blog

I am starting a new chapter in my life ....Selling my wares on a new blog is something I have been wanting to do.....just didn't have the time to get it started.....



Since summer is winding down and there's a nip in the air with fall coming I thought this would be the perfect time to open up a selling blog to show my wares....



So I hope you all bear with me....this is all trial and error on my part....but I am going to give it a try anyway...



My new selling blog is http://www.rusticprimitives.blogspot.com/



If you have sometime in your busy schedules....stop on over and take a peek of some of my creations...



Thank you......Trena

Started my fall cleaning

September 1.....where did the summer go to...

I started my fall cleaning yesterday......I wanted to get the wooden beams wiped down and just put the baskets back up without anything else....I was tired of looking at the clutter...

I had to dig out my 15ft ladder so I could reach the beams without falling....It doesn't look that high when your looking up but when your at the level of the beams looking down its a little scary...


I took everything off the beams and wiped them down with Murphy's Oil soap and then only put my baskets back up....I finished up with three of the beams yesterday.....two more to go today...

These pictures are the three that's cleaned and rearranged....































So I off to finish up the wooden beams and start wiping down my walls .....I got started cleaning the windows yesterday inside and out in the living room ....Washed the curtains and hung them out to dry in the warm breeze that was blowing yesterday....
Today the mantel is going to get a new makeover so stay tuned ....hopefully tomorrow I can post some pics....
Everyone have a great day...
Until next time......Trena
