Here's the second bench I found (for just $20!) I found some fabric on sale and recovered the seat. I had planned to repaint it, but the distressing looks so good I think I'll leave it as it is. Now we just have to take it up to the cabin. Percy will love sitting on it to watch the squirrels!
*The first bench I found is still waitng to be refinished. Watch for it in a future post.
While I was shopping for benches Carrie was looking for frames to make a wall of frames in the apartment she plans to have in Guatemala. She found several super cute ones.
She got me to thinking about frames. So a couple of weeks later when we went shopping at the thrift stores in Elk River I found this metal frame. I took out the glass and added cork.
I have had such fun reading the blogs of other DIY bloggers, like Tatertots And Jello, Imperfectly Polished, Young House Love,
and many others. I have been so inspired. So when I saw the idea for this plate I just had to try it. I found the plate at Target, got stickers and ribbon on sale at Michael's
and put it all together. I love how it turned out. I probably won't keep it up all year, but it makes a perfect decoration for the month of February. Isn't it cute?_________________________________________
