Repurposed Dresser Drawer

Only 3 drawers to this dresser survived, (and a huge mirror) so rather than call it a complete loss I wanted to do something special with them. Well so far it's only the one, but I have plans for the others!

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the full dresser, only what survived...

I painted the outside with Chalk paint, a coat of white, then Turquoise, and distressed it some with sandpaper

I love how it turned out! I can use it like this on a tabletop or

on the wall, it hangs either horizontal or vertical

I painted the inside with Chalkboard paint, and lined the sides with a yardstick

Below is a picture with my Bed spring Chalk holder

Let me know if you have any questions...

Thank you for visiting with me today, hopefully you have been inspired in some small way...

2nd Glimpse of Fall and a Commitment

I have made a commitment to myself to post " A Glimpse of Fall" Every Day, for a Week, starting today, well really yesterday, but I made the commitment today. I have 10 minutes to post this to meet my commitment.

I had just begun to play with my little Aqua Garden, when it started to rain, (ugh) since I had made a commitment to post glimpses of Fall, I really wanted to get enough done to take some pictures and do a post. So this is a glimpse of Fall, with a little of Summer hanging on. (I'm not really ready to let summer go completly yet, anyway...)

So I hope you enjoy, my Fall in progress garden

Just a few little touches, for starters

Thank you for visiting with me today, hopefully you have been inspired in some small way...

Please leave a comment so I know you were here, they really do make my day!

As always if you like it, PIN IT

God's Blessing to you and your families, have a wonderful day

Summer Junking Treasures

James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. (NIV)

This has been a great summer for ~~junkin~~', ~~collecting~~, well yea, Junkin'

What are you going to do with all that JUNK?
Sound familiar?

It's been a rust filled summer, so if you share my Love of Rust, take a scroll through my post. Here you will find some of my Summer Treasures, Thrifted, Salvaged and Yard Sale Finds,
all Super Cheap or Free, beautiful JUNK.

First up is a half Rusty Bucket, picked up for 25 cents at G/W, the Hen and Chicks were 50 cents at the HMY "100 Mile Yard Sale". I hung them on the Rusty door Knob, of my favorite salvaged door.

The Umbrella Stand I'm using for my garden tools, was from the HMY.

The Rusty Quaker State Barrel, holds my Bird Seed, it was Salvaged while on it's way to the scrap yard.

This old Enamel Bowl was a "present" my husband dug up from an old barn foundation beside our Camp in the mountains.

The Plaid Thermos I picked up for 50 cents at the HMY.
The Wire Egg Basket is from our Church Rummage Sale.
The Small Basket, was another gift from my husband, he brought home from his Aunt, who is de-cluttering.

The lantern was another Rummage Sale find, it was black and I painted it white. The Broken Crate I already had.

Another picture of my Rusty Door Knob, and some Small Rusty Tools

A glimpse of my Salvaged Potting Table, with a Thrift Store Wire Basket and a Salvaged Licence Plate.

A pile of Junk? or Treasured Finds?

Candlelight in the Garden

John 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (NIV)

This is my little garden cart, isn't it cute? I acquired this at the end of last summer, {Free!} Orange and Rusty, it sat in my shed as I debated, leave it Orange, or paint it?

As you can see painting won over,

I have been collecting old wooden candlesticks, and decided to paint a set, with my new obsession color.

I call them my Perfectly miss-matched set. All painted the same color, but all different shapes and sizes, there are 2 sets, and 3 singles

The possibilities are endless for using and arraigning!

Since I'm spending most of my time outdoors, I decided to display them on my old Flower Cart, with a 2 White Metal Stars.

I love the combination of Flames and the Flowers...

The Flames reflecting in the glass panes, creates a very comforting ambiance

I love the contrast of the Purple Sage and the Turquoise Candlesticks

I love how these candles dripped, most candles don't drip, probably due to safety reasons.

I could sit all night and watch these candles burn, but as you can see from the size of the candles above, they are not going to last long. I knew I took a ton of pictures, but I still think they burned down quickly!
