About Me:

I'm a salvage junkie...in my world, rust is a must! I use rusty salvaged materials in my designs for RustiqueArt, but I also enjoy...rustic gardening and blogging about my finds, my designs and decorating my home with rusty junk. Owner of RustiqueArt and designer of handcrafted wall crosses and salvage home decor I use my blog to journal and share my rustic adventures with friends and family. Stop by my blog and say hello and sit a spell.

Favorite area of home improvement:

My favorite area of home improvement would be my yard. I love to play in the dirt and add rusty flea market finds to my garden.

  • took mirror off then checked out pinterest for ideas then realized it didnt have to come off :( 2
  • soooo removed the one 4 light fixture and put in 2 two bulbed light fixtures The advantage to removing the mirror was we could cut the drywall behind the mirror to make new holes for the new lights
  • Room primed and painted and the mirror was reattached
  • also painted our cabinets in a trim and door paint
  • middle cabinet in place new light fixtures connected and now onto the framing of the mirrors
  • bottom of cabinet dressed then realized I needed more height to cover the original light "hole" grrr 3
  • NOTE: the cabinet was not from the counter top up it was actually started at the "back splash" just because the "back splash" is beveled and it just made it easier to start with something flat and dress and trim the bottom
  • we also spray painted the knobs a brushed nickel 1
  • and spray painted the hugger lights with the brushed nickel

Large Bathroom Mirror redo to double framed mirrors and cabinet

Everyone hates the 6+ foot mirror that all main bathrooms seem to come with. Soooo we took an idea from a fellow pinterester and made it our own (so to speak). This is NOT a one day ...»
project but the results are worth the time :)

You will need

1"x4" MDF (32 ft)

1/2 birch plywd

Trim (40 ft)

Baseboard (3 ft)

All building supplies for the mirror/cabinet project approx. 40.00

Lights - 38.00 each on sale

New faux wood blind - 39.00

Paint - 5.00 (bought a mis tint from Rona)

1 can of brushed Nickel spray paint 10.00

we also did floating shelves in the water closet (another idea I got from a fellow Pinterester)

We only needed 2 shelves for this bathroom

but made 6 shelves

24X 8 inches with supports

1 sheet of 1/4 plywood, sanded on one side

10 1×2 pine boards

floating shelves supplies 20.00

when all was said and done the total reno for this bathroom was 190.00

Have fun with it and make it your own

It's a Rustic Valentine Welcome in Our Home

My entry way has become my decorating playground. It changes with the seasons, holidays and sometimes just on a whim. But there's a very special day coming up...Valentine's Day. One whole ...»
day devoted to LOVE. I've never been fond of the stereo typical Valentine's Day color palette with bright reds, pinks and stark white...my Valentine style is all about the muted tones of dusty rose, rust and galvanized metal. But you will see that this vignette is not just about my love of rustic colors, there's sweet little message tucked inside...but you'll have to find it. (hint: check the blog)

Pistachio Gum Ball Machine

I decided to transform an average gum ball machine into a Pistachio machine! Healthier, and something pretty to display in your kitchen. Will look great with gum balls as well when we are out of nuts!

$60 Bathroom Makeover

My guest bathroom wasn't too bad to start with, but it was super dark. Just a few dollars in updates made it bright, crisp and clean! With help from an $11 board and batten treatment :)
