After taking my two oldest children to driver's ed this morning, I decided to come home and rearrange the family room a tad, mainly just moving toys to the basement playroom and putting "my" chair(that will a separate post) in a different corner of the room. Of course with those little changes comes a whole lot of work, you all know how that goes... move one thing and ten more have to be moved because of it!!
Besides from the room rearrange, I did manage to paint a quilt rack that I picked up at GW for $7. I normally don't buy quilt racks, but this one was heavy and sturdy and I knew it would work well in the family room.
As you can see, it had those classic country hearts that we all loathe ;) I just dug through my doily stash and found two matching ones and glued them over the hearts. Took care of the problem, easy peasy !I'm still working on putting my powder jar collection in my sewing room. I know that I have Never shown these on my blog because they have been packed away for 5 years!! I thought it was about time to let them see the daylight again.
And as much as I am in love with white painted furniture right now, I am just as equally hating the process of painting said pieces white!!! With black paint, one or two coats and you are done, NOT so with white paint. Anyway, this is a little cupboard my dad built me about 15 years ago, I took the doors off and it will become a display cupboard in my sewing room.
I had better get back to the family room and finish it up before dinner time.
Have a productive day,
Tiff
You teased me with the chair post!! lol
ReplyDeleteI've seen those jars and didn't know what they were called. Learn something new every day, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the quilt rack! Very creative idea to cover the hearts. I still haven't figured out how to cover some heart cutouts on some wood shelves I have.

How I cover those cutout hearts is to take thin wood circles or ovals that can be found at craft stores, and nail them over the cutouts. Then paint/stain over everything like you normally would.
