Chenille curtain upcycle

 I've been upcycling chenille bedspreads into curtains, and a Victorian ceramic cookie jar into a vase (simply spray painted white).



...and taking some photos around the house, working my styling skills. I made the tufted headboard above with curtains that came with my home when I bought it, some diy covered buttons, a scrap of dense foam and a piece of plywood. Pillows are upcycled from vintage quilts, dresses, doilies, men's western snap button shirts and vintage ties.

She's crafty...

Took a tiny break from editing photos today to get crafty. Something about hot glue burns and the smell of spray paint renews the soul after lots of hours staring into a computer...

Livin' the Kitsch Dream

and needin' a life sized fiberglass horse lamp to go with my upcycled velvet painting pillows...

Recycled Barn wood garden dresser

I've been cleaning out the garden shed, and found this old 60s dresser. Age and water warped, it still works perfect for a planter. I used the mitre saw to cut for length, then a nail gun put them all in place. Next, I've gotta line the drawers with plastic so the bottoms don't rot and I can start some herbs in there... and some kind of cascading flower.

Update: here it is a few months later when my flowers bloomed :)

Our wedding's coming up this Halloween... people ask why that date? We met on Halloween and got engaged on Halloween, so I guess we're keeping the theme going!

I've GOT to make one of these...

Loving this upcycled suitcase chair... I've got to try this.  Thanks inhabitat!
