Bunnies, Bunnies, Everywhere!

March 18, 2016 by Patti 11 Comments

To be sure, the bunnies  overrunning my house are more prolific than my writing has been of late!  We spent the first week of March in San Diego and since then I’ve spent much of my time fighting and then recuperating from an influenza virus.  UGH!

“No honey, I did NOT get my flu shot this year but I’m glad you did.”

So today, my words will be few and I’ll simply share a few Spring/Easter vignettes scattered around my house.Easter Decor 002This mama bunny cookie jar adorns my kitchen island, along with a pot of lavender and some gold leafed eggs.

Easter Decor 017Thrifted and painted candlesticks and silver.

Easter Decor 016Dried hydrangeas from last year’s garden and a DIY moss covered cross.

Easter Decor 013I shared this photo on Instagram of a collection of vintage pocket watches and a tiny bird’s nest.

Easter Decor and Spring Arrangement 047Vintage books abound in my home decor.

Easter Decor 023I found this big bunny in a thrift store last Spring and I’m still debating on whether to leave him “as is” or to paint him.  I’m really loving the grey stone bunnies I’ve seen around the home decor stores.

Easter Decor 022Or maybe I’ll just paint his overalls pink and make him a her!

Easter Decor 011This is my favorite frame because I can print out seasonal pictures from The Graphics Fairy to change it up for each holiday.

Easter Decor 012I’ve added one of my tiny boxwood wreaths behind the glass to frame it.

Easter Decor 027On to my living room and another boxwood wreath hung on a lantern.

Easter Decor 026A lantern that is filled with more bunnies of course.

Easter Decor and Spring Arrangement 027I bought this stuffed bunny a couple of years ago because he looks so real.

Easter Decor 028I love his little chick friends too.

Easter Decor and Spring Arrangement 036One of my favorite things to create displays in is this large cloche that I’ve filled with Spring goodies.

Easter Decor 035Vintage sheet music with another miniature bird’s nest.

Easter Decor 039A mix of decoupaged eggs and gold leafed eggs.

Easter Decor 038A faux chocolate bunny purchased at Stein Mart.  This, after using a real chocolate bunny in a floral arrangement two years ago and finding it melted down into the flowers one sunny afternoon.

The weather is very Springlike and warm this week in South Carolina and the pollen is beginning to fly.  Hubby and I are working on a solution for keeping the furniture on the screened porch protected from the messy pollen this year.  I’ll let you know how that works out!  I hope you all are well and that you are enjoying the entrance into this new Season, wherever you may live. 

Blessings friends,

Baby it’s Cold Chalkboard Hearth Bucket

December 8, 2015 by Patti 15 Comments

How in the world did this battered old white bucket with the goofy looking rainbow trout painted on it’s side make it’s way into the moving van and travel all the way across the country with us?  When we were feverishly trying to lighten the load by selling and giving away things of value (like all of my thrifted furniture that was slated for makeover – TEARS) how did this silly bucket make the cut?

Woodland Mantle 042

Perhaps we’ll never know the answer to that question unless maybe, just maybe, it was destined for some purpose all along.  With Christmas right around the corner and some of the prettiest pinecones I’ve ever seen just waiting to be displayed, I took a little walk out to the garage where said bucket jumped right out at me and begged for a makeover.  With a lumpy bottom (Hmmm, sounds familiar) from the water that froze in it one winter when it was the dog dish, this little bucket wasn’t worth much.

Baby it's Cold Bucket 005

Being transformationally inclined I pounded out the dents in the bottom so it would no longer tip sideways.  Then I printed off this free chalkboard art that I found on Pinterest.

Baby it's Cold Bucket 004

 That and a bottle of Mod Podge gave this old bucket new purpose in life!

Baby it's Cold Bucket 001

I applied some Mod Podge to the bucket, carefully applied the chalkboard art, then sealed it with a little more Mod Podge over the top.  Piece of cake right?

Woodland Mantle 038

It’s the perfect thing to hold my pinecones and a few sprigs of berries.

Woodland Mantle 039

And these are the most perfect pinecones I’ve ever seen, collected on Tybee Island this Fall.

Woodland Mantle 041

Woodland Mantle 043

I’ve pinned some of my favorite free printables and also some tutorials for drawing your own chalkboard art to my Chalkboard Art board on Pinterest which you can find right HERE.

Baby, it IS getting cold outside, even here in South Carolina.  It is the perfect weather for enjoying an evening by the fire and the beauty of another Old Thing made New.

Blessings,

My Signature

A Junky, Mossy, Lacy, Easter Centerpiece!

April 14, 2014 by Patti 23 Comments

Easter Centerpiece 009Fresh Spring flowers.  A mix of hydrangeas, tulips and heather.

For an Easter Centerpiece does it get any better than that?

Easter Centerpiece 019Maybe . . . if you add in some wonderful vintage “junk” . . .

. . .  like old lace, a faded children’s book, an ironstone bowl and an old wooden strawberry crate.

Easter Centerpiece 045Then gather up some other items from Easter’s past, like decoupaged eggs . . .

Easter Centerpiece 007. . . and these adorable nesting bunnies.

Easter Centerpiece 004

Easter Centerpiece 001Easter Centerpiece 029I wish I could say the flowers were from my yard but the only thing blooming this early is my heather.  I gathered together an assortment of my favorite blooms from the floral department of my local grocery store and created a custom arrangement.

Easter Centerpiece 035For a period of time (when my kids were at home) I was doing this every week.  Somehow I got out of the habit.

Easter Centerpiece 036  It is an inexpensive way of treating oneself and I think I need to reestablish this old routine.  Flowers for Mr. OTN!  Yes, I’m sure he would agree 🙂

Easter Table Centerpiece 004As a final touch I added a couple of crystal candlesticks . . .

Easter Table Centerpiece 003. . . and placed it all atop a table runner made of moss.

Easter Centerpiece 056Here is one final view looking down from above through my “Wreathed” Chandy.

Isaiah 43:19 KJV – “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?”

Awww . . . the season of Spring.  New things on the horizon.  I wonder what they will be?

Blessings,

Mossing Around With Baskets

April 1, 2014 by Patti 19 Comments

1-Mossy Basket 030

Do you have any old baskets hanging around your house that you don’t know what to do with?

You know, the kind that came to you all wrapped in pretty cellophane and filled with yummy treats . . . but now sit empty on a closet floor.

Or perhaps you still have some of those baskets that used to hang in decorative groupings on your kitchen walls . . . or marched across the top of your kitchen cabinets!

(I’m thinking back to the country decor of the late 70’s, early 80’s here and I hope I don’t offend anyone if your baskets are still adorning your walls or your cabinets.  As far as I know that may even be back in style)!

01-Mossy Basket 001

Perhaps you have a stray basket like this one.  It’s cute but not big enough to hold swags of flowers, or to use as a laundry basket, or sit on top of an armoire.

This little basket has been sitting out on my front porch for the past year.  At times it’s been filled with a few seashells that came home with me from the beach, or moss and sticks and other treasures picked up while out walking the neighborhood.  In Winter it held a few pinecones and red berries.

So now it’s Spring and time to add something new to my basket.  When I saw that it was growing a bit of it’s own moss I decided why not help it out?  Thus, the birth of an idea:  Mossing Around With Baskets!

02-Mossy Basket 005

Now if you live in a place like I do, you can take a walk through the neighborhood to collect your moss.  It is on the trees and the sidewalks.  It is on deck railings and patios.

1-Moss 002I actually found the greatest moss ever on top of this outhouse!  Oh how I wanted to trespass and do some moss collecting.

Haha! I feel a joke coming on here . . . You know you’re a redneck if . . . your neighbor doesn’t have the moss cleaned off the roof of his outhouse!

(Just to clarify, we live on a lake that used to be mostly summer cottages and this is a remnant of that time.  We ourselves don’t have an outhouse . . . but hmmm . . .  we do live on a gravel road . . .)

ANYHOO, if you live in a drier climate you can always head down to your local craft store and pick up a bag of moss.

05-Mossy Basket 009

This is such a simple project and it takes about ten minutes to complete.  You simply begin by pulling your moss apart into strips like this.

04-Mossy Basket 008

Then start poking it into the sides of your basket.  I actually had my glue gun out and ready to go but I found that this basket had large enough gaps that the moss held firm when poked into the holes with my thumbnail.

03-Mossy Basket 007

06-Mossy Basket 012

I just kept adding moss wherever there were holes to poke it into.

07-Mossy Basket 018

And that was it!

08-Mossy Basket 020

The bonus is that even the inside of the basket has a little moss peeking through.

09-Mossy Basket 025

11-Mossy Basket 027

10-Mossy Basket 026So what do you think?  Cute yes?

12-Mossy Basket 029

When you’re finished you can fill your basket with whatever Easter or other Spring décor you have around the house.  Here I’ve added some Spanish moss and eggs that I decoupaged last year.  The tutorial can be found for the large egg HERE and for the smaller eggs HERE.

5-Mossy Basket 011

My old basket is back out on my front porch, sitting on an old chair.  I tucked in a few sprigs of heather cut from my yard.

3-Mossy Basket 006

2-Mossy Basket 003

1-Mossy Basket 001

I absolutely love simple projects like this one and I think my old leftover basket looks so happy now that it is all filled up and made new again!

1-Mossy Basket 008

What ideas do you have for using old baskets?  I’d really love to hear!

If you liked this post please share it with a friend 🙂

A Stripey Makeover for a Vintage Suitcase

September 24, 2013 by Patti 27 Comments

9-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 040I love the look of old trunks and suitcases and I’ve been wanting to do a vintage suitcase makeover for some time now.  I must admit that mine in a knockoff of one I saw on another blog, but I can’t remember exactly where.  Can anyone help me with that? Maybe it’s you and I’d love to give you credit.1-vintage trunk redo 003The vintage suitcase I used came from my in-laws garage sale and it is exactly like one that my parents had when I was a child.  This made it especially appealing to me.  I started by taping it off for the stripes and began painting, using two colors of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, Old White and Versailles.  The pictures that I decoupaged onto the suitcase came from The Graphics Fairy website, of course.  The number of my projects that have revolved around that website I can’t even say!

2-Vintage trunk redo 004

1-Vintage trunk redo 002

To age the graphics a bit I dipped them in strong coffee and laid them out on a foil-lined cookie sheet.  I “baked” them at 200 degrees for about 4 minutes (watching them closely to avoid a fire) and then laid them out on a wire rack to finish drying.

1-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 001

After Mod Podging the graphics in place I sealed everything with two coats of MinWax Polycrylic.  Funny, Mr. OTN liked the color combo and he thought it looked cool with the graphics applied but he was VERY concerned that it was no longer useful as a piece of luggage, “It will be ruined if someone uses it for travel!”  I patiently explained to him that this isn’t meant to be used as a piece of luggage anymore but as a piece of home decor. 

2-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 008

5-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 021

6-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 028

7-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 031

8-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 033

“Why are you staging it for pictures like it’s going on a trip if it’s no longer luggage?”,  I can hear Mr. OTN thinking in his head.  I haven’t come up with a good answer for him yet.  If I don’t sell this I’d better find something to do with it in my home.  Maybe I’ll pad the inside and make it a bed for the dogs . . . that would make Mr. OTN happy . . . or it could be stacked with some other pieces of luggage and used as a side table in his office.    4-Vintage Suitcase After and Bdrm Bench Before 016

 I actually kinda like it just sitting in my front entryway looking like some interesting guests have just arrived for a stay. What are your ideas?  What would you do with this suitcase?  Does it even really need to have a purpose?

Blessings to you,

My Signature
