Yard Sale Weekend

I am having a yard sale, front porch sale and in house sale on Saturday 9-2, Sunday 9-2

I have been cleaning out my basement, the kids rooms. 

Also the front rooms of my house, which have had stuff stored in them for way to long, we have to get the front rooms emptied out, so we can insulate and redo these rooms, we have a pool table and lots of fun stuff to go in these rooms. 

I can't wait until there done

I don't think the rest of the family can wait for me to clean them out either.

I have been getting ready for this yard sale for 3 weeks. 

I have scoured the house for things I don't use

I am somewhat of a perfectionist,

I have to have all the stuff near perfect, clean and all priced and set up. 

I have been fortunate because I can use the front rooms for the yard sale items, and I can

have the rooms all set up

The big furniture items are on my front porch, so I can have my boys carry these things onto the

front lawn.

I love yard sales myself, I tend to buy too many things.

I quess you could call me a YARD SALE JUNKIE

I'm sure there are others out there like that too!!!!!

You know who I'm talking about

With all that said, wish me luck this weekend.

I'm going to use the money to pay for the insulation for my front rooms

SHADES OF FALL

Living in New England. 

The fall is such a beautiful time of year. 

My favorite by far, the weather is perfect, the colors are awesome.

The leaves start to change color, slow enough that we can enjoy

the beautiful colors

Homes start to change their decorations, pumpkins come out

Crows are starting to show up on fences

Corn stalks, fall festivals, craft fairs

I can feel it in the air

Some pictures of inspiration to share with you all

Hooked On Friday

I am hooked on Friday, because tomorrow is Saturday, and I'm going yard saling,

I am going to be on the lookout for a dresser like this that I can paint white and use in my

master bathroom!

Wish me luck

I'll let you know how I make out with this one

I love this look, the mirror is awesome also

Dresser Re-done

My first posting on an old dresser that I re-finished

I know you don't know this, but I love to paint, I have been painting in one form or another since I was a little girl

This all wood dresser was a freebie that I acquired along with many other pieces,

After storing the furniture for a couple of months I decided that this piece

was going to be used in my walk-in closet to replace the broken Lowe's piece that I

originally put in the closet when we moved in the house, now the drawers don't even work

I had the paint in my house, it was never opend it is

Behr Premium Plus Cottage White

How strange was this, I had this can of paint in my basement, the painter must have

bought this paint and never used it, I never knew it was there

I didn't have a good paint brush on hand, but I had some new sponge brushes, and I was

so impatient to get this painted that I went ahead and used the sponge brushes, I don't think I would

recommend using the sponge brushes if you were going to put you piece of furniture in your room,

but I was just to impatient to wait another day to go and buy a new paint brush

I also had a 1/2 can of primer

I sanded the dresser with sand paper,

wiped it with a cloth to remove all the dust

Primed

and then painted, it took 2 coats

The next day I sprayed the dresser with a can of clear acrylic sealer that I also

had in the house

You will  notice in some of the pictures that it looks spotty, that is because the sealer was not

completely dry when I took the pictures

Sealer was still wet when I took this picture

Have a happy healthy Thursday

"WHITE WEDNESDAY"

What a beautiful day in New England

Crisp, clean fall air, I am loving it!

"Black & White Wednesday"

These pictures are from my home

I am transforming my home from Primitive Early American, dark reds, browns and mustards

TO

White Rustic, French Chic

As I do things in my house, I will be posting pictures and telling stories

Gourd, old bread board, vintage carry all


Kitchen Counter, old tin with condiments
Window light

Old grain sack, vintage broom, old blue coverlet

all on an old weathered quilt rack

Old basket, handmade doll,

pillow from Family Heirloom Weavers sitting on a bench at my front door

Breadboards, I love old breadboard's

I have a collection ranging from very small to quite large ones

Vintage scale in white on an old very large bread board with

some of the old flour imbeded in the board,

old bread boards have such stories to tell

Old jugs, I love to collect old jugs

some have writing on them, some have numbers, letters, bird motifs, some still have the corks in them.

These are sitting in a display again on an old bread board

My next post is on a piece of furniture that I did over

I will post before and after pictures
