Hobo Bag

I found this very shabby and chic leather bag while junking. The top layer of leather has come off most of it. The handle was replaced by rope.
Can you believe they wanted 5$ for it? Can you believe I bought it?
I took it to Jennifer's not knowing if she would 'get it'. She did.
Right now it has some twigs in it but I think it would also look neat if a vase of flowers was in it. Like giant hydrangeas.

Sunny Saturday

I picked up a few of these blank wood stools. The first one I just painted but this one I knew I wanted to cover. It got a few layers of batting, linen and a double pink doily on top.
The barn was a bare wood and I thought it needed to be blue. I thought it would be neat to display items in.

A black hutch that was a crummy faux oak. I painted the back walls a mustard. I thought if it was black it would be too cavey. I changed out the hardware to black rings.

Blue Cherries Cabinet

The blue hutch. Tah dah.
Not easy to take a picture in a window.
Big news...we are building a barn shop for all my projects. It will be a 2 story marvel. If only i could snap my fingers and have it done NOW.
Go Big or Go Home
