I wanted the harlequin look on this piece, but didn't want to measure, tape, and paint the design, so I used scrapbook paper to achieve the look I wanted.

I was able to recreate a $700 Restoration Hardware desk for around $50. This is a really easy build and I may just steal it for my own room ;-)! You can see more tips and photos at http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/07/restora...

I planted the bulb end of 2010 and nothing came up in2011 from bulbs I bought at Christmas Tree Store on sale then the box sat around my house for too many months but low and behold look what popped up last week !

This is my favorite build project to date. I love that for $100 I was able to build a vintage looking church pew for my entry that also has storage! I was intimidated of the detail work required (being that I have not been building long) but, I was surprised at how simple it really was:) http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/07/vintag...

These are pieces my husband and I made. Most are in our home, some we have sold.

Found these children's boots at the thrift store for 3 bucks, drilled holes in them, filled the bottoms with peanut packing and dirt and found some impatiens that match. Now they sit in front of the hog house lookin cute!
