Happy Easter! Sharing a couple of projects!
Happy Easter my friend!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their Holy Day. My hubbie and I had a nice dinner. He cooked a standing rib roast. It was delicious.I fixed sweet potatoes cooked the old fashion farm way. I love how my mother used brown sugar and cooked them until they were almost burned.
I have not posted on this blog for about two weeks. I have been battling bronchitis and just had not felt like updating the site.
I wanted share some of the projects I have been doing these past two weeks. I hope you enjoy them. Your comments are always welcome. I read each and every one.
This old spice rack has been in my storage space for years. I decided to use my oil rubbed bronze and give it a makeover. I added, velvety like scrap book paper to the front door. I used some bling trim to give it a touch of class.
I left the old print on the back of the door. I thought it maintained a vintage appeal.
I found a canvas print at the Family Dollar. I fell in love at first sight. The colors were my favorite, the coppery browns and greens. And the lone fiddle was the main selling point.
I built the rest of the vignette around this print. The gold fiddle was meant to be a Christmas decoration. I altered it in colors drawn from the print.
