Been busy re-doing a table I found along side a dumpster!

It's been 3 days of sanding, priming, sanding, painting, sanding... a jet flying around and a falcon rocket launch! I have to wax and seal still. The pictures came out out of order... I ...»

Pine-sol tips

Do you use Pine-sol to mop your floor? I do too. But I don't use it the way you might think. You see, it all started when someone told me that Pine-sol is great for removing wallpaper. My mom was in the process of redecorating her kitchen, and I told her to buy some Pine-sol. I then went over and helped her strip the wallpaper. It worked. We used a cap full of pine-sol and filled an old squirt bottle with water. Once you got the wallpaper very, very wet it came off in two parts. It was ...»
not easy to get off, but the pine-sol helped.

While we were stripping wallpaper my son spilled something on the kitchen floor. Without thinking about it I used the squirt bottle to spot clean the floor. What a fantastic idea! You see, I have a two year old. I almost never get to actually mop my kitchen floor; but I can squirt the pine-sol mixture on the floor and wipe it up in sections. So, now I keep the pine-sol in a squirt bottle. I'm hoping that when my son is a little older he will find squirting the floor "fun". haha

  • How my craft room look so far. It's coming along nicely! It contains a thrifted vintage drafting table, a DIY card catalog, and a thrifted shelf. 4
  • This $5.00 shelf from the thrift store was lined in inexpensive contact paper from Target, and mod podged to the back. Love it!
  • I love the way this drafting table is perpendicular to the wall. It helps to create a more definite crafting area back in this part fo the room, since hubby needs the other part for work. 2
  • I flanked the end of the drafting table with this $15 yard sale bookcase that I painted while. It holds all my sewing, knitting, and home improvement books. 2
  • 4
  • Cute little $1.00 thrift store cup, which sits on my drafting table.
  • It can hold any scissors or markers.
  • The shelf was painted and distressed and waxed. I lined it with contact paper from Target that cost only $5.00 for a big roll! Cheaper than scrapbook paper or wallpaper. And I upcycle old tin cans to hold suppies. 2
  • On the drafting table, I'm using a vintage shoe shine kit to hold paper and supplies. Love it! Only $6.00 4
  • This is what it looked like for a whole year after we moved in: brown, ugly, and cold. AND a cluttered desk.
  • The room just got messier and messier!
  • I finally had to do something about it. I wanted turquoise! So I got primin'.
  • Now that the furniture placement is figured out, the next step is setting up the Ikea Expedit bookcase to hide all the clutter of crafting supplies!
  • There's no way I could leave this Ikea Expedit like this! The baskets are so expensive, though--like $30 each! I'll find an inexpensive alternative. 4
  • Here's the BEFORE of the shelf that is hanging above the drafting table. Only $5.00 at the thrift store!
  • I painted it with Annie Sloan Old White chalk paint. 2
  • My $40 sewing cabinet found at the thrift store. 2
  • This $40 thrift store sewing cabinet converts to a full-sized table, and my machine pops out the top :) I can't wait to paint it! 1

My Thrifted Craft Room

All the pieces of furniture in my craft room have come from the thrift store or bought second-hand! It's still "IN PROGRESS" but I will be finished soon! Here's a look at its progress and how inexpensive it's was to furnish!

I have been creating mosaics on and off for a few years.

I recently relocated to Houston and left a lot of furniture behind so I needed to supplement on a budget. I visited my local thrift shop looking for a side table for my living room which ...»
has a dark teal as an accent color, drapes, pillows, accessories. I love geometric designs and came up with this design to match the decor. I paid $4.95 for the cute oak table. I hope you like it
