Funky Fish, Welcome Sign and Big Polka Dot Tulip

I thought I would do a post for

Paint Party Friday

This big wood welcome wreath I painted and donated to

Helping Hand

A community based fundraiser in my town

This big tulip is for sale in my Etsy Shop

You can visit my store by clicking the icon on my side bar

So, I felt like making something nautical, being from the Gulf Coast and living in TN

where it is cold and gray this time of year.

This is my funky fish welcome sign

also for sale in my ETSY shop.

Be sure a visit everyone at

Paint Party Friday

so much painting inspiration and creativity!

Waiting On Spring!

Well, Spooky is definetly ready for Spring!

She likes to watch the birds and lay in the Flower garden

I have not shared anything I have made in a long time

so even though Valentines Day is over here is my

big red burlap heart I made for my front door

I like to decorate with hearts all year!

I also wanted to show you a great idea for an old cabinet

First, you got to paint it bright colors, lol

then remove the shelves and add small curtain tension rods

add your ribbon and you have a great organizer thats also

pretty to look at

I am working on some new items for my store so stay tuned for

pictures.

Have a great day!

My latest furniture painting projects

Before I started painting and selling signs

I painted thrift store finds all the time

This table I bought for $5 at Goodwill

I loved its round interesting shape

I finally found the perfect metal tray to add to the top

at TJ Maxx. My hubby attached it with liquid nails.

This twin headboard and footboard came from the

Salvation Army

Solid Maple and only $10

I painted it bright green and I love it!

The metal trays on the wall came from thrift stores

all under $5 and made in England.

I hung them on the wall because I just love that look.

Now my guest room is complete.

Thanks for dropping by!
