Found: Old white door

I decided to play around a little with my wall art and decor

and I am pretty pleased with how it turned out...

at least for now.

Remember this wonderful piece from a previous post? I decided it was time to do something different

with it so I took out the hydrangeas and replaced

them with these goodies.

Some of these photos aren't the greatest, but this

is my pantry area and there is not a lot of light.

{I have since pushed the flashcard down farther as

shown in the first photo}

I added a pair of my candles along with vintage paper shred,

an old photograph, a flashcard and a handmade envelope

that my last package of Etsy goodies came packaged in.

I put it all on an old white door that I found antiquing a few weeks ago. I love the detailed doorknob!

I schleped this door from the shop to the house all by myself a few days ago. I backed the car up to the shop, put it in the trunk, drove in the garage and unloaded it. After hitting the top of the garage door with it a few times I finally got it into the house. :)

I had originally wanted to put some french wording or numbers on that back part of this piece. One of these days I will get around to that when I decide what I want. Any suggestions?

I purchased the door for $12 intending to use it in my booth eventually, but for now it resides in my home and I love it.

{no your head is not crooked. lol. our floors in this area of our ancient house are crooked. I am going to have hubby make me a piece of shim. I suppose I would be a little crooked if I was over 100 years old too}

Sneak peak at what I have been doing...

...a little laundry room makeover.

I forgot that I had two long windows like this until

I was cleaning out my potting shed a couple weeks

ago so I hauled one out, cleaned it up and then

hung it up.

First attempt had me strattling the washer and dryer

and pounding in three nails that went into space!

Not a one of them went into a stud!! Story of my life! lol

So it was off to the store to purchase three drywall

anchors. Seems we have to use them a lot in this old

house. I thought hubby would put them in , but I crawled

up there again and did them myself and they turned out

GREAT!! yay...one for the women!!

I am also doing a little redecorating on the long shelf above

my washer and dryer. I blinged up my candleholders

by adding glass glitter to the outside of the metal cups.

but THIS is my crowning jewel!! ha ha! I know ...it takes so very little to make this lady

one happy camper. I should have added the before photo, but I forgot!

There is a water heater behind this cupboard. I have been wanting to enclose it for years, but

we just never got around to it. The other day I had

hubby cut a door in two and we made this top for it.

I love how it turned out! Still have to put the

finishing touches on it, but it is pretty much done.

{Will try to remember to take photos when everything

is all done and share them with you}

Happy friday everyone!

If tonight you can't sleep...try counting your

blessings instead of sheep.

Hugs~
