I’m late, I’m late for
A very important date.
No time to say hello, good-bye,
I’m late, I’m late, I’m late

This is exactly how I feel today as I pop in to show you a cute idea for displaying plates.

Building a Gate With Architectural Salvage

July 10, 2017 by Patti 41 Comments

“What do you want to do today honey buns?” Mr. OTN asked as we sat on the screened porch enjoying our morning coffee. 

Okay . . . so he didn’t really call me “honey buns,” because we don’t talk to  each other that way.   Not insinuating that it’s a bad way to talk if that’s how you choose to show affection for your sweetie.   Our endearments are a little less mushy and generic, like a simple “honey” or  “sweetie” or “darling”. 

Darling: That’s his name for me when he’s feeling particularly fond of me.

Anyhoo, it was a beautiful Spring day that was meant for a drive in the mountains.  So we set off on an adventure, and in no time at all we came across a REAL gold mine!

Top 10 Posts of 2016

January 16, 2017 by Patti 8 Comments

Have you ever felt like you’re going round and round in circles, working hard but accomplishing little?  I think we all feel that way at times.  That’s when it can be a good thing to take a look back to see that you really have made some forward progress.  My blogging life sort of fizzled out toward the end of 2016 but looking back I find myself encouraged by these things that I DID accomplish. …

Freedom Friday – Living a Redeemed Life Podcast

October 14, 2016 by Patti 14 Comments

Hey y’all.  Yes, I’m still on a blogging break but I couldn’t help but pop in to share with you a Podcast I was recently interviewed for by the AH-MAZING Holly Barrett of Living a Redeemed Life.  Holly is a gifted interviewer and makes listening so much fun that you will probably want to subscribe to all her shows once you hear this one.  In this Podcast you will hear my real life voice and you may also hear some things you didn’t know about me.  SCANDALS even!!!!  Thank God I’ve been redeemed and now get to live a life of sharing my experience, strength, and hope with others.  I hope you’ll take the time to click on the picture above or the link that follows to have a listen 🙂  http://hollybarrett.org/2016/10/lrl-063-patti-krank.html

I am Perfectly Imperfect Patti, daughter of the King, wife to the amazing Mr. OTN, mom to two grown daughters, a great son-in-law, and companion to two spoiled dogs. At Old Things New I share DIY’s, budget friendly home transformations, as well as posts about how God transforms our souls. I myself have been made new and I love to share what I’ve learned through WRITING and SPEAKING. To view a short Vimeo of “Our Story” (Mr. OTN and I) please follow the link at the top of the page.
