~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Well, hello all my blogging friends!
How are you today? It's gloomy here and rainy so a good day to stay inside and finish up some projects and of course tweak some. That's what I've been doing to my Hoosier...I love this piece we bought from an estate of a 100 year old man and only for $100.00, of course that was in the 80's. It was painted white with black and red decals on the doors so I had it stripped and done in a walnut which cost about $100.00 but well worth it. It has moved everywhere with me and has been decorated in so many different ways over the years but I think this is the best way yet. One thing about painting and laying new floor is that the rooms get stripped of everything then when it's time to redo you have a blank room to do it in.

I made some grungy pears...found them at a variety store for .25 a piece and nestled them in a wood trencher that I painted black then mustard, I can't remember if I stained it or not...I'll have to check. The breadboard, I found for a $1.00 while at a yard sale and I painted it black then Butter Pecan with dark walnut stain, also the candle holder with the Simplify tag I won from Lizzie's Homespun, it's filled with berries and a tiny gingerbread man.
Here is a picture of the middle part of it, I switched some things around and also removed some!

The top...I finally got it right I think, gone is the pickle jar with all the cookie cutters in it that I kept up there for years.lol

When I showed this picture on my last post I knew it needed something more so I added a wooden bowl with candle nubs and berries.

The right side of my Hoosier...

with barrel of apples below!

By the corner cabinet I put my ladder with some homespun towels and moved the sample over to the left more.

I moved the little black chair from the livingroom by my desk and put it under the picture of Abe next the bushel basket of ticking pillows which hides an electrical outlet:)

Now on to some painting I've been doing over the last couple of days...remember this towel rack that I found at GW? I didn't care for the finish of it at all so I've painted it black and I think I'll do it like the cutting board in the following picture, I also think I'm going to take down the cupboard that I have above the table with all my wooden bowls and put this towel rack there instead!

I painted this black then put Folk Art~True Burgundy on then dark walnut stain. I love how it turned out...a real dark barn red.

While I was at Michael's Saturday I bought these stacking boxes and I'm pretty sure I'm going to paint them all blue for a change.

Well, that's about all for me today... maybe I'll list some things on my selling blog which has been sadly neglected since we started all this on the house. Just a reminder...if you order on my selling blog PLEASE email me and not leave a comment telling me that you would like to buy, once I list I don't check the comments everyday on it. Thanks!
