Valentines Day Mantle

 

It has been a few years

 since I have decorated

for Valentines Day.

 

But with all the

motivation from my

favorite Blogs and 

Pinterest.

 

And

 

 

This cute banner

I found yesterday.

 

I thought I would

get back into the

 spirit of things.

 

 

So here goes......

 

 

 

I spotted this banner  

yesterday at a

local gift shop and

thought to myself,

 

self,

 

you can do

something with this.

 

 

So I snagged it up.

 

 When I got home I

started rounding up

items to add to my

 mantle in my Living Room.

 

I re-used the pots that my rosemary trees were in at Christmas time.

 

 

Popped some boxwood

balls in them.

 

 

And added a chalk heart.

 

My sister gave me the
old window frame
a few years back .
 

The wreath is also
 from my Christmas decor.

It was perfect and
I did not have to 
change a thing.

The red berries and 
ribbon fit right in with
the valentines day theme.
 

 

The candle holders are

from my back stock :)

 

(I get rid of nothing!)

 

 

 

 And the wreath has been

 floating around

this house for years.

 

 

 I found this cute

little pink ball in my

stash of old decor.

 

 

All in all I think

it turned out pretty great!

 

I am tickled pink :) 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Thursday! 

 

Two of a Kind

 

Today I thought I would

share with you the story

 of two pieces that

were meant to be together.

I will start with this guy here.

 

 

Not in the best of shape.

 

 

But that's how we like em!

 

 

This was part of the

same lot as the table and buffet's mentioned here

Nothing some glue and

 screws can't handle.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the finished piece.

 

 

 

 

 

And this is his

long lost friend.

 

 

We found this one 

a couple of years ago

on craigslist.

 

The sides are

exactly the same.

 

 

Two of a kind :)

 

 

While I was snapping

 pictures of the dresser

and chest of drawers

I thought I would snap

a few extra of my bedroom.

 

I found this cute tray/dish

 at the Goodwill.

 

 

This one I picked up

on clearance at Target.

 

 

Loving the gold bottom!

  

 

 

 

The words I would use

 to describe my decorating

style in our master 

bedroom would have to be

 

( more on this beauty at the post below )

http://furniture-ology.blogspot.com/2012/12/orange-you-glad-its-friday.html

 

Avant-Garde

 

Eclectic

 

 

 

And

 

 

 

Some would say

 

“Quirky”  

 

 

I picked up the

two bedside tables

at a local shop.

 

 

The headboard we

made ourselves.

 

 

 

We even made our own buttons.

 

 

 

Happy Wednesday!

Customer Re-Finish, Dream's & Peppers

When we first started to

re-finish furniture it

was more of a hobby.

 

AND 

 

An inexpensive way to

furnish our home with

quality furniture.

The transformation of a

piece has always provided

us with an enormous sense

of accomplishment.

Over the years we have

re-finished several pieces

for family, friends,

 neighbors and co-workers.

 

We also re-finish pieces

 for re-sale.

 

The problem with that
is I tend to want to keep
all the pieces that we find!

 

 

Today we are featuring

 a dresser that we

re-finished for a

neighbor of ours.

 

This piece had belonged

to her mother and had

been stored in her 

garage for years.

 

 

So we got to work.

 

And brought it back to life.

Here is the finished piece.

 

 She was extremely happy

and could not wait

to get it home.

 

 

Our dream is  

 

 

to one day

 

have our own

 

shop.

 

Maybe something like this.......

 

 

 

A girl can dream can't she? :) 

 

 



 Here is the recipe for the stuffed peppers I posted a

sneak peek of last night.

 

 

 

 

Sausage & Cream Cheese

Stuffed Sweet Peppers

 

2 pkgs. Mini Bell Peppers

1 lb. Hot Breakfast Sausage

1 1/2 c. Shredded Parmesan Cheese

8 oz. Cream Cheese

 

Brown sausage and mix

together with cream cheese

and Parmesan cheese.

 

 While sausage is cooking

 prepare peppers by cutting

 in half lengthwise and

scoop out insides. 

 

 Fill peppers with filling. 

 

Bake at 350 for

about 20-25 minutes.

 

ENJOY :)
