Bathroom makeover

Happy Monday everyone.....I finished up on my downstairs bathroom.....it went from all Americana to more of a neutral color......I pulled all the aged wallpaper down and primed and painted the walls...Umber,from Valspar.



We replaced the vanity light with this new one.....it looks much better....

This is the windowpane I hung above the toilet with mustard homespun draped over the top...

Just bought the caddy the other day at a thrift store while out shopping....It was just a plain wood so I painted it black....over coated it with antique gold then sanded it down and added walnut stain .....Fits perfect on top of toilet for necessities....

This is my old wooden ironing board with mustard tea towel and an old chair with enamel wash bowl....

I bought this shower curtain from Country House....Colonial mustard/stars...Also bought matching valance...

This windowpane and washboards are above my washer and dryer.....

All the windowpanes displayed came from my grandparents old farmhouse....

I hope you like the transformation of my bathroom.....I sure do.....It came out just as I hoped...

Fathers Day cookies

I just finished these up for DH for his big day tomorrow.....He didn't want a bought or homemade cake so I made up his favorite cookie.....Homemade Oatmeal Cookies......

I made 8 dozen of these up and I am going to give 2 dozen to our elderly neighbor.....he doesn't have any family....he's almost 90 years old and lives alone...

This is my last post for today....hopefully I can get some more makeovers done this coming week and will be able to post them...

Until next time,

Caddy makeover

I had time today to do a makeover on my little red caddy that I got yesterday while out shopping......I didn't have anything in mind when I bought it,but when I got it home I decided to use it in my kitchen...



This is the before shot.......

This is the after........

I painted it black and put paper plates with napkins in it and I am using it in my Summer Kitchen....

Off to make some cookies....so that will be all for now....

Thrift Store buys

I went out and done some shopping yesterday and stopped at a local thrift store and found these goodies..

The red caddy was only $5.00...the basket was $2.00 and the candle holders were free...The lady wanted rid of them....they have small nails sticking out of the top and she was afraid someone would fall on them....I had no problem taking them....when something is free you don't pass it up....

I went out early this morning and found these goodies at a local flea market.

Both caddies were $5.00 each...one rolling pin was $4.00 and the other one was $5.00

I don't know what I am going to use them for yet....but I will find something....

The weather has been miserable here all week...I think we only had one nice day...that the sun was shining.....Next week looks like its going to be beautiful....

So everyone have a great weekend...

God Bless

Tweaking Tuesday

I was in one of those moods today to just change everything around....Things in my home don't stay in one place for very long....I get tired of looking at the same thing so today was my day of tweaking.....

This grouping I have in my Family room....I wanted something different so I added my old window with pip berries....large Burgundy metal star.....candle holders that I had done over with grubby candles and star/pip berries ring..

The shelf holds my block fire crackers and Americana bears.....
















I'm off to get some more tweaking done....so everyone have a great day...

God bless....Trena
