As I was cruising through Pinterest I saw this graphic. I can't find where I found it but I saved the image. I love argyle and thought it would be a great fall sign to decorate with. I went scavenging through the garage and found the following to help make this happen:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Some paint sample cards that I got out of the trash at the paint store last year. They were from the previous season and were being thrown away. The clerk could not believe that I wanted them. They have been living in a baggie waiting to be used.</li>
<li>A wooden placemat that I got at a garage sale for 25 cents.</li>
<li>Primer</li>
<li>Green paper</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><u>Step One</u></b>: I cut out diamond shapes. This was the hardest part. I did not have a template and they kept looking wonky. The I remembered that a diamond is really a rhombus. I googled how to make a rhombus and found this video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoEx5xVu5xQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoEx5xVu5xQ</a><br />
I followed the steps and cut some awesome shapes. </div>
<div>
<b><u>Step Two: </u></b>I primed and then painted the placemat.</div>
<div>
<b><u>Step Three:</u></b> I decided I did not like the half painted/half decoupage look so I decoupaged over the painted areas. I added the words and finished with a final coat of Mod Podge.<br />
<b><u>Step Four</u></b>: I attached a ribbon so I could hang it on my wreath stand that always ends up having signs hung on it rather than wreaths. I like to make signs not wreaths.<br />
<br />

I primed the placemat because I did not think I was going to decoupage the whole placemat.<br />
I did not hand letter the sign. After the new year one of my goals is to learn how to hand letter.<br />

Not long ago I was driving back from my daughters house and had just driven through Sour Lake, Tx and on my right I spotted junk on the side of the road. I slowed down and pulled over. As I got out of the car a black Tahoe pulled up from the opposite direction. The women said, "I want that!" By that time I already had my hand on the shelf. I said, " I do too!". I did not make any further eye contact as I loaded the shelf into my car. She called me an old witch as she drove away. Close call but I had the prize.</div>

All the way home I dreamed of how I would refinish the shelf. I love painted furniture but I love mid century modern stained. When I got it home I soon found out that it was not fine furniture. As I had been driving I imagined it was a Heywood Wakefield. <span style="color: red;">(<span style="background-color: white; white-space: nowrap;"><i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Mid Century Modern furniture like that produced by the Heywood Wakefield</span></i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">When I got home I found out it was pressed wood with a peeling veneer.</span></div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-center; white-space: nowrap;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">By this time I had decided that painting was the only option. I wanted to paint it gray but am</span></div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-center; white-space: nowrap;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">committed to using what I have this month. I mixed black and white paint and made my own </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">gray. I like the color that it turned out.</span></div>

**I am only crafting what I have in my garage as of 9/26/2013. That is an important fact to remember in the month of October.<br />

Last month I went to an amazing garage sale. I went Friday morning, Friday afternoon and again on Saturday with my daughter. Several of the things I have crafted lately came from that garage sale.<br />
We I walked into the kitchen and saw the graduated wire baskets I knew they had to be mine. As I got closer I was afraid that I would lose them to someone closer than I was. When I picked them up and saw that all three baskets where $2 I was so thrilled. Then they came home with me and sat in the garage until it was their turn to be repurposed.<br />
I had seen so many inspirational tiered thingys on Pinterest lately. These were a few that inspired me.<br />

Not long ago someone called me to tell me they saw a table in the ditch near my house. When you love junk people start calling you to rescue it. I went to find it and it was in bad shape. The top was fiberboard and was standing in about three inches of water. The legs were dry and wooden. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I got it home I realized the legs were in good shape but the top was a mess. Also there was a lot of duct tape on the bottom. The duct tape had not been holding the table together. My mind raced at what had been taped under the table. But alas this table is not talking. I decided the top could not be saved so off it came.<br />

The base was sturdy and a great size and all it needed was a top. Off to the junky garage for that.<br />

I found just the right cabinet door. I got it in Waco, Tx at the Restore for a dollar. It had just been waiting for these legs. A couple of screws, some paint and it will be a beauty.<br />
Before I reveal the finished table I have to tell you my motivation. I was not painting this table for me or anyone else. I just painted it for fun. One of my dreams is to have a three story beach house and the third floor will be devoted to my grandchildren. Let me set the record straight I have no beach house and no grandchildren but a girl can dream. This open space will have red lacquered beds with all white bedspreads and a circle of big overstuffed chairs in the middle of the room so we and read and talk into the night. Imagine the chair below in red and white stripes.<br />

It is not a Hoosier Cabinet. It was an inexpensive cabinet that they think was purchased from the Sears catalog.<br />
When it first arrived we were living in a small house and it lived in the garage. A couple of moves down the road and it made it into the house. My youngest daughter always loved it and it lived in her room for quite a while. It has been painted white, I tried to strip it, I painted flowers on it, and it has never gotten the respect it deserved. Last summer I attempted to make amends to the cabinet. I painted it with quality chalk paint and polished it with two kinds of wax. I did not take any before pics of it. This makes me sad because the before/after pictures would have been amazing not because of my talent but because it had been so abused by the last set of movers.<br />
Here she is, the old white chest (as she was called for many years at our house)!<br />

These pictures are a little brighter than I thought. I guess I got carried away with picmonkey.<br />
The quilt folded on her was my husband's grandmothers quilt. I love red and turquoise together.<br />

I had a hard time deciding on knobs. The original knobs got lost in some move. I tried cute colored knobs but they seemed silly on this no nonsense cabinet. Finally I stained wooden knobs to match the counter top.<br />

I painted the inside white along with the counter back splash. I had not reason for this I just liked how it looked.<br />

This chest is only living at my house until my daughter has enough room for her. She always loved the chest and will take good care of her. I am enjoying her while she is mine, with her beautiful coat of paint.<br />

I started this photo board the day I made the orange bowl. I got frustrated with it and put it to the side for a couple of weeks. I could not get the base attached to the board. Tonight I went back and worked on it and everything worked perfect. It is amazing what happens when you don't push and let creativity come to you in it's own time.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love vintage suitcases.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this great suitcase at my favorite thrift store recently. The base came from a garage sale for less than a dollar. The label on the front bothers me but I have not decided what to do with it. I am so jealous of the pictures I see on other blogs and on pinterest. I tried to "stage" this picture but it is still a work in progress.</span></div>

I have been blogging so often about the wonderful, junky finds that come from the Restore that I have not shown much love to Goodwill. I love to go to Goodwill. They have such a wide variety of good junk just waiting to be given a second chance. Not long ago I found this wonderful find. It is solid wood and had been painted pink and blue with a goose on the child (think 1985). Yesterday I decided it was it's turn to get a makeover. I painted with my favorite red. I can't tell you the color name. I took an old Ralph Lauren sweater to Lowes and they mixed this red for me. I call it Ralph Lauren Red. I think I went with red because it looks like fall. When I tire of it in front of the fireplace I plan on using it to store sewing notions. It would also make a cute tool box. Thanks again Goodwill, you made my day!<br />

I had four spindles and was too lazy to go to the store to buy trim. I used the spindles to trim out the edges. I glued and screwed the spindles to the edges to give it a cleaner look. The final step was to prime and paint it. </div>

A couple of weeks ago I was having a crafting Saturday with craftdictator.blogspot.com and we were using an old Atlas that I had bought at an estate sale.<br />
I went upstairs to get something and in the closet I saw an old tub that I had not used in a couple of years. The inside needed cleaning and painting. The outside had some imperfections that paint could not cover. That is when the maps came to the rescue. I decoupaged the outside with maps. I am really happy with the way it turned out.<br />

Step one: round up some junk to redo. I found an old tub and a Christmas tray (metal).<br />
Step two: find some spray paint in my junky garage and go to work.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Step three: decide what wonderful old maps to decoupage on the tub and tray. This was the hardest part of the process.<br />

My mom had a tan and brown colored blocked car coat (is that still a word?) when I was young and I loved the way it looked on her. I have been working on a repurposed table this week and I wanted to make it two toned. This is what it looked like as I meditated on how to paint it. I wanted it to be painted in two colors but I could not get the look I wanted. I finally painted it green and I love it. I think it would make a nice small potting table for a patio.<br />

This is the latest thing to pop into my <br />
head. Last week we met friends at the<br />
beach and I wanted to make something <br />
for my friend Jan for her birthday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It started with this cute tray that I found at Goodwill <br />
for only twenty five cents. I originally was going to<br />
paint it and put it on a pedestal (6inches or so). I thought<br />
it would be cute with fruit in it. But then I saw a beach<br />
table at Academy and completely changed my mind.<br />

I screwed a piece of wood onto a spindle<br />
from the Dallas Restore. Then I glued and<br />
screwed the tray to the base I had made.<br />
Originally it was going to be green but<br />
ended up a different color. <br />

We sunk it in the sand and it was used <br />
all day. I think Jan was impressed when<br />
someone came by and wanted to buy it.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I recently went to see friends in Huntington, WV where I lived for 6 wonderful years. When my friend showed me the bedroom where I would be staying I saw this wonderful red chest(footlocker). It had been her fathers and she had repainted it red in the 1970s. It was red, chippy, and perfect. It had that wonderful aged look that did not come from some new technique on Pinterest but from many moves and five children (all boys)! I jokingly tried to talk her into putting legs on it. I love chests with legs, but she declined the offer. It was so perfect that I wanted the world to see it. I will be posting more pics of my amazing stay in WV.<br />

My friend lives in the country and one of the best parts of my visit is that we did not rush to start our days but lingered over breakfast and talked and talked and talked. We had a year to catch up on. Another thing that made the mornings special were this deer and her twins. We saw them twice and it was amazing how beautiful they were.<br />

I completed this hall tree a few months ago. It has been waiting to be painted but I have decided I may leave it white and antique it up a bit. This piece would never have gotten made if I had any knowledge of how hard it was going to be to attach the separate pieces before I started. I think I have told you that I don't have many tools. I have and ancient saw (which I will not take a picture of because if I looked at the picture I might realize I should not be using it), a drill and glue. If a project needs more than that it is not for me. I came across the main part of this project at a junk store in Galveston, Texas. I think it had been a porch post, but was burned on one end so who knows what its first life was. The top section was from a bed post that came out of some ones trash. I used the top part in another project that I blogged about earlier. The original post that I got in Galveston was too short so I decided to add the bed post to it. The problem was how to do this. I went to Lowes. The person I talked to first said very nicely, "No way!". I think he wanted to ask why I was let out on the "home for the insane", but he was to kind to do that. The second person told me about double sided screws. <br />

The one he suggested was about 6 inches long. He could not really tell me how to use it, but thought it would work. I came home and googled and basically found out that I needed to drill two holes and then attach the screw to one piece of wood and then the other. About two weeks later I finally did that. It was harder that it sounded. The hall tree was now the correct height and all it needed was a base and arms. <br />
<br />

The base was made out of three pieces of scrap wood that I bought at the Restore. I glued and bolted them together. I then attached the base using another double sided screw. It turned out to be very sturdy. The final step was to add the arms. The arms were made of scrap pieces of spindles left over from other projects. Again I used double sided screws to attach them. I used wooden drawer knobs on the end of the arms to add interest and cover up my bad cutting job. I wish I had taken pictures of the process but I never thought I would finish so, no photos. I may add some decorative hooks and paint it later. If I do I will post pictures.<br />
My first party!<br />

I am continuing with the orange theme started last week. I think it is such a great transitional color between summer and fall. This was made out of some Goodwill finds.<br />

These are some more of the finds from Goodwill. I got them awhile back when they had a half off sale on their home goods. I had sacks of great junk when I left that day. I wanted to make a tall candlestick to go with a grouping in front of my fireplace. I wanted something summery and light.<br />
I used Gorilla Glue to put the parts together and painted it orange.<br />

This is the finished grouping I made. I have posted about the crosses that I make before. The turquoise candle holders are made from vintage spindles. This is the second set of these turquoise candle holders I have made and I still love them.Rhondahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178748258908894750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931579441347384364.post-83610226198913493652013-07-26T10:15:00.001-05:002013-10-04T17:53:26.922-05:00Orange Bowl<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a pedestal bowl that I made today. Today was my second day at home. I have been out of school for three weeks have been traveling. For the last two days I have been home alone and feeling very creative. Last night when I bought lemons it inspired me to make an orange bowl. The reason I chose orange is that it will be good with summer colors but will transition so well into fall.<br />

The pedestal came from a chair that I pulled out of the trash across the street. I had it hidden in the attic for awhile because the garage was so full of junk. I just knew I would use it when I was out of school and had more time.<br />
I cut a piece of the leg and glued it to a base. Then I searched until I found a wooden bowl I bought in March at Goodwill.<br />
The bowl was a fifty cent find that I had been wanting to use.<br />
