Somebunny Has Been Busy ( Easter Mantle & Closet Update )

 

This past weekend was a busy and productive weekend here at project central.

We were able to get our light up in the master closet for a test run.

We love it!

We picked the light up at the ReStore for only $30 and gave it a couple coats of paint.

We still have so much more to do!

But it looks great so far!

I also managed to get in a quick mantle change.

Once again, I utilized a lot of the same items from previous displays.

Which made it a simple switch.

I kept the old chippy window, wreath, a candle holder and boxwoods.

And added a few more items.

I found this cute little moss bunny that I had picked up a few years back.

And this broken base that originally had a bird attached to it.

Not sure when or where it broke, but I’m sure glad I saved it.

The bunny already had a hole in the bottom from where a stem/stick had been.

I did not have to do a thing to them.

They were a perfect fit!

Cute! Cute!

I picked up a pair of these ceramic rabbits at a local shop for only $13.00. 

That’s only $6.50 ea.

Love the crackle/antiqued look!

Holla!

I removed the red berries and red ribbon from the wreath and replaced them with eggs and burlap.

I also put a couple of moss balls in a bowl on my coffee table.

Along with this rabbit tin.

And this little guy was so cute I had to put him somewhere, so here he sits in our china hutch :)

Happy Tuesday!

Friday Furniture - Union Jack Dresser

 

Today’s Friday Furniture Piece

is our attempt

at a Union Jack Dresser

We picked this piece up at a local thrift shop for only $20.00!

Woot!  Woot!

The bottom was in great shape!

The top had some issues.

A couple of the corners were chipped off completely and there were some deep surface scratches.

We removed the top and made another.

We utilized the trim from the old  shelves we removed during our master closet renovation.

We trimmed them down and glued them to the front of the new top piece to give it a nice finished look.

After a bit of sanding this is what we got.

Oh, this man of mine!

Such talent!

And so it begins :)

(This picture was taken on an extremely sunny day so the blue is a bit bright)

We started taping.

And painting.

After all that hard work on the new top we decided we did not want to paint it and stained it instead.

We also wanted more of an antique/worn look so we distressed the piece and sprayed a thin coat of stain to darken it up a bit.

I’m Smitten :)

We just finished this up last night.

I snapped these pictures this morning in the garage with horrible lighting in my P.J.’s and hair that was going in every direction but could not wait to get this post up!

O.K. O.K.

I admit it!

I have horrible grammar.

My punctuation is bad.

I tend to ramble.

And I jump around a lot on my posts.

But this little blog is my sanity :)

So without further ado.

Here is the finished piece.

This piece is available for purchase.

$300.00
