Autumn..Wooden Door Boxes..

Happy Sunday to you all..It's a beautiful fall day here today.
The weather is perfect to get outside and do some fall decorating..
I finished up my wooden boxes that I have on my front door
and the sun room door for the Autumn Season..
I added corn stocks with corn along with my fall flowers..

This is the Front Door...
This is the Sun room Door..The sun is peaking Thru the Pine Trees
behind me so that's the light spots on the door..At first I thought
I missed painting some areas on the door after I took this shot and
had to get a closer look..Thank goodness it is just the sun shinning Thru.
Well I'm off to get back outside and enjoy this beautiful fall day..
Thanks for stopping by for a visit..
Come back when you get a chance..

Prim hugs,
Trena

Early Birthday Present

I wanted to share a special gift that my son has bought me
for my birthday...Its a couple weeks away but he surprised me
with this last weekend...He knew I have been wanting one and it
was a good price so my loving son gave me the money and we
went and picked it up....






















I chose a unfinished one which saved $100.00 and refinished it
myself...It came with or without the tin panels and I chose with..
I already had a gallon of Valspar..flat black so I took out the tin inserts
and gave it two coats of flat black leaving it dry overnight in between coats..
I then sanded down the edges and applied two coats of Minwax, Dark Walnut
Stain..

Here's what it looked like when we brought it home..






















I'm pleased with the outcome and saved my son a $100.00 in the process by
refinishing it myself..

I leave you with a few photo's of the prim display I placed on  top and on the shelf that came from
my grandparents farmhouse..

..
Thank for stopping in for a visit..
Have a great weekend and
Take care and be safe...
