So where have I been?

I can't believe I have been away from blogging for over two months. Just popping in to say I'm back and I'll be posting again on a regular basis! So much to share and talk to you about so instead of making one long post, I'll divide them up into several, how does that sound?

The table and mirror you see in the picture are recent purchases, not bought together, the table at a garage sale and the mirror was bought at an estate sale, I think they look perfect together. Here's some close ups.

I just love the detailing on this table. The top folds down so it can be used as a small kitchen table but I like it next to my couch in the formal living room.

Thanks to all of you who asked about how the boot camp went that I was enrolled in. It was an awesome workout for the two weeks that I went. I had to stop (per doctor's request) because of a supposedly medical reason/condition and it turns out after going to three doctors, I'm perfectly fine, nothing was wrong with me in the first place! So because of that, I never got the chance to finish the boot camp.

Love the swags on the mirror.

So I was thinking, for my next post would you like to see ugly pictures and read a horror story about what kind of destruction renters can do to a cottage built in 1935, yep, that's what we have been dealing with for a month now.

I told my husband, I am embarrassed to have our names on the mortgage papers because the cottage looks bad, really bad, like white trash ghetto bad!

Anyway, enough of my drama, so glad to be back blogging .

Make it a great day, Janice

~*Vintage mirror makeover*~

Yesterday, I did a post about a vintage mirror I had hidden away in the garage, the wood frame was gorgeous but I didn't like the picture that was in there (see yesterday's post). I removed the picture, grabbed the paint and paint brush and got busy. I gave this mirror some dignity that it well deserves.

Ready to see?

The mirror is much prettier now, don't ya think? The spots on the picture is just the reflection of the chandelier that hangs above.

I used some scrap booking paper that I already had to replace the previous picture.

Yep, I love the way it turned out, much more delicate looking.

Humm, Now where should I hang this? I'm off to find a place for the mirror.

Make it a great Monday, Janice :))

Sunday Project

Ive had this vintage mirror for a while now, out in the garage. Thought it was time to bring it inside and do a little makeover ya know, make it little more prettier than it is now.



Gonna paint it, yep that's right!

Not really diggin the sheep grazing in the snow picture.

Gonna remove the picture and put something pretty in it's place, hummm what will it be?? A piece of fabric, vintage hankie, pretty paper, not sure yet.

I'll show the re-do tomrrow.

Have a peaceful Sunday, Janice
