It was almost a lost cause...

After giving this old aluminum handle-less griddle a coat of chalk paint...

Giving this basket a weathered look came naturally....

This deal got away...

It works better than you'd think....

I  love pillows! And what a great Valentine for someone...

I posted about these pillows back in 2011...  They were a favorite and I'm sharing them again with bigger, brighter pictures.

Bright, beautiful, large wale corduroy pillow....

The chalkboard door on my newly painted Paris Gray chalk painted cabinet has a secret.

Back in July I had a planfor this cabinet.

I was using this old crate for storage...

A vintage enamelware tray gets a fun and  useful transformation today!

Love is in the air... and in the details!

Everything old is new again.

These delicious football party appetizers can be whipped up in a snap!

This adorable little bag was way too cute to throw  in the trash when the handles wore out.


I started this upcycle by cutting off the handles and tearing out the center zipper.
I hot glued a Ziplock freezer bag under the zipper placket all the way around the top of the bag to make the inside waterproof.
The placket was the perfect place to cover the top of the bag.


I added a matching grosgrain ribbon as a hanger.
The buttons added extra strength.


And that's it! 

Easy upcycled trash can for my car!

If it wasn't 20 degrees outside and if my car wasn't a mess,  I'd show it hanging from the console.

Just too cute to throw in the trash so why not use it for trash?!
