A New to Me Kitchen Cabinet!- a Thrifted Makeover

I love quirky old furniture. We found this cool cabinet about an hour before an Estate sale was scheduled to close. They were giving a 50% discount on all of the marked prices. They wanted to clean out that house and have the rest of the stuff go! We got a few small items from inside the house and then saw this cabinet in the garage for $30! We paid and went home to get the van. I love a good...

Painted Magnets? Yup.

Hi There!  Sharing another summer project: Project #2- DIY Painted Magnets   Okay, I am going to be straight with you. This was not my idea. I stole it. I don't remember where I had seen it first. But you can find lots of examples on Pinterest. I have seen them painted gold, silver, and even chalk board black. Here are the steps on how I painted mine. I bought 4 packages of fridge magnets at...

Open Pantry in the Kitchen

Hi There!   Okay, this will not be the most exciting posting. But it will be another area of the house I have yet to show to you. Our kitchen is small in our little rental house. Not much storage, or much counter space. You may remember the cabinet I painted and put it by the stove, or how I painted a sideboard Red. Both have added extra storage and extra counter space. Only thing was, there was...

I have been collecting old wood cutting boards at estate sales and thrift stores. They have a home here on the counter. We also keep paper napkins in the green and white basket. The blue sunflower tray,...

14 inches of space!

Here is another look at the our kitchen. The small stove area. I love that I am taking a small room and making it into multiple postings. I still have another 3 or 4 spots to show you after this one.  ;)When we moved into our little rental house, there was this empty space near the stove.  It is 14 inches wide and there is the gas line. What to do? I went to a reuse center and bought a...

I am seeing RED!

A red painted sideboard for the kitchen.I got this sideboard for $5 at a garage sale. I had to call a friend to come pick it up for me, he had a station wagon. This was at a time when I had a small business painting furniture. I would get things at garage sales, thrift stores or by the side of the road. Sometimes I would come home to a chair or table on my front porch. It's nice when people just...
