Boy, the grass looked like I had slaughtered an animal after I was done but Stush didn't say anything when he saw it, I guess he's getting used to my spray painting adventures.:) I had my sewing machine cabinet in front of the window in my diningroom but didn't care for it there. It seems to me that I have to much wood in that room so I decided to do this leaves the almost floor to ceiling window more open I think. This would make a great sofa table too but I can't do that because my sofa has to stay against the wall because the room has to many doors, windows and a fireplace plus my sofa is kind of a bulkey denim.
This didn't take long to do either....some wood takes paint well and some don't and the ironing board didn't but I left it that way I liked seeing some knots of the wood showing thur. I've just been playing around with it as far as decorating goes so this is what it looks like as of now but you all know that it could change.lol
The embossed black canisters I foung at The Country Store, the herb drying rack was half off at a store in the mall because they were moving to another location, the little galvinized bucket .25 at a yardsale I adding the black homespun, flowers from the Dollar Store and my books are yardsale finds for .25 a piece. BTW have you ever looked at an older Reader's Digest's hardcover? I came across this one blog (sorry I can't remember which one) and she pointed this out so when I came across some I looked and they are all different and so pretty, the newer ones are just plain .
Well, I have to get a move on around here, I think I have to watch the girls today, so have a great day everyone the sun is finally shining today!
Can you believe it is July 1st already?
What a WONDERFUL idea. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI really love how this turned out! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI love your ironing board! It looks great in front of your window! And I'm a sucker for metal buckets. So cute with the flowers. Have fun with the girls today!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I have been keeping an eye out for a wood ironing board but haven't found the right deal yet.
ReplyDeleteI like it in front of the window too. I can see a candle burning on there at night glowing through the window. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!! Looks great! What great ideas you have! Gotta remember a few when I get stuck for some decorating ideas!

ReplyDeleteLove it!! I have a wooden ironing board that I got at an antique store. The guy was getting rid of his booth and had everything marked 60% off so I got it for a steal. I actually use mine to iron on, but love how they look used as a table.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute!!

ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the red grass, it'll get cut off next time you mow. I'm sure the guy that does our grass has wondered about the white paint outlines on our lawn.
ReplyDeleteI'm so drawn to red so of course I love the ironing board. What a clever idea using it for a table. Looks great where you have it and all dressed up. :)
everything looks great!! i like gettysburg homesteads idea of a candle sitting there.
ReplyDeletei took some old readers digest and covered them with fabric.... i sold them! i couldnt believe it!! i only had 3 and she gave me 10.00 for them. woohoo!!
