ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

++ANNE OF GREEN GABLES++

i was so excited about this cabinet when i found her at the

thrift store. i knew that she was going to be really special when i got done with her. very antique looking, i love the glass door and the carvings along the bottom. she was just asking to be bought. my fiance was with me the day we got her hes actually the one who spotted her.

i also knew she wanted to be green- think green.
i gave her the name 
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES 
after the novel-

i took loads of pictures

here we go-

the before...

AND FOR THE REVEAL..

THE AFTER...

i did a little photo shoot with her and im in love. i hope you love her too.

UPDATE

as i was looking over my blog today i realized that when i posted my

redo of the Little Red Writing Desk i only included one

after picture. i dont know why but i updated the page and included a few more....

check them out....

CORK MEMO BOARD

i was given this cork board along with other pieces of funiture which i've shared some of the 

makeovers with you. nothing was wrong with the corkboard im just not a fan of white. and its a very sterile white. i wanted it to match the chair which i redid in a martha stewart color called feather duster. it will be in the same room as the chair and i wanted it to match. i needed some cool tacks to use with my board and i had some little typewriter buttons from a previous project. i decided to glue regular thumb tacks to the back of these and create my own tacks.

i also thought of a cute way to display the tacks on my desk as

a holder

i also glued tacks to the backside of some clothspins so i could use these on my memo board as well...

i've seen some ideas about decorating the clothspins on other blogs.. eventually i'll get around

to doing this to mine.

this is what the board

looked like

 before...

and after...

painted and filled 

with todo's and

memories...

it was hard to get good pictures of this board as it was so long...

but now ill be able to make some of the cute things ive seen on other blogs for memo boards

CHARMING TRUNK

AN ELEPHANT NEVER FORGETS HIS TRUNK...

I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS BUT IT JUST POPPED INTO MY

HEAD. I FOUND THIS OLD WHITE WICKER TRUNK AT THE TRIFT STORE FOR 6.99 AND I GOT 25% OFF BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT ON A THURSDAY. SO I FIGURED IT WAS A

DEAL EVEN THOUGH I WAS HESITANT ABOUT THE WICKER. I HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH WICKER AND THOUGHT NO MATTER WHAT I DID THAT THIS WOULD STILL HAVE A BORING LOOK. I SANDED DOWN THE HARDWARE AND PAINTED IT WITH

OIL RUBBED BRONZE SPRAY PAINT. AND ASKED FOR ADVISE FROM MY FIANCE, WHO HAS STARTED GIVING ME IMPUT ON ITEMS. HE DONATED A FEW OF HIS BELTS, AND A FEW IDEAS WHICH CREATED THE LOOK OF THE TRUNK..

BEFORE...

AND THE AFTER...

IT WAS A LEARN AS YOU GO PROCESS AND IT THINK IT WORKS...
