Empty frame wall art *eye candy*

I had a look around to see what other people have created with empty painted frames

First up this is mine

This one is from Classically Amber the frames are beautiful and ornate

This one is from Two Girls… Being Crafty, I like the way they have frames inside frames

And another one from I am Momma hear me roar, this has a hidden window, how cute!

And lastly how cute is this? Bulletin board frames! From Shannon Makes Stuff

Ahhh… Eye Candy!

If you’ve done something cute with empty frames let me know, I’d love to see!

While we’re on the subject

I have been meaning to blog this since before Christmas. Remember this box I got at a garage sale? I was going to do it up for my brother’s 21st birthday…

Here it is all done up to the nines’. 

I painted it a slate grey and attached new handles.

The outlines of the letters were lightly printed on to old pages of Shakespeare plays, then I cut them out and modge-podged them on to the box. I did several layers over top of the letters to make sure they wont come off.

I managed to get it to him only 6 months late… a record for me!

Who knows what he will put in it, boy stuff no doubt.

The Keys found a home

I loved all your suggestions for my little set of keys! I think I may have to go back to the antique store and grab a few more for jewellery purposes.

But this is what became of these:

Old frames from the op shop- $5

Old keys and brass fittings from the local antique shop- $10

Print from here- $10

White enamel paint – $20

$45 is pretty darn cheap for this fun wall art methinks!

What think you guys?

What should one do with these?

You’ll see what I’m doing soon, but I want to know what YOU would do with them?

Sneaky Peeky...

I've been painting and man oh man am I excited about how this table is turning out!
I'm only giving you this peek until it's finished though...

And I'm going to do my best to finish it tomorrow!

Another table... oops!

After talking about being addicted to taking photos of my kids, I think I'll share a few I took yesterday with some nice light...





Don't mind Noah's dribble, that's a permanent thing now that he's getting more teeth!

And here's a little bit of brother cuddles/wrestles...



I can't help it, I just NEED to take photos of them. At least I'll have a lot to choose from for their 21st birthdays, along with the obligatory embarrassing ones of course!

Anyway, this is the new table I bought today from a monster garage sale for $10. Yes I have already started sanding it! I just get so excited about what it could look like that I can't wait.



I know it's nothing special from the top, but underneath-



I'm going to paint the whole thing white and use it as our meals table. Then I'm going on a mission to find chairs that don't match to put them together something like this:

I'm not sure if I'll paint them all the same colour or 2 white and 2 red, or something weird. I can't wait to have a table we can all sit at together. We do have one now but it's an odd shape and has a bottom rail that means you can barely fit your legs under when sitting down! Pff! Who's genius idea was that?!
This one will be just right for my little family so I'm very excited to sit around it and find out what everyone did that day, like we did when I was a kid.

What did you do this weekend? If you've done any revamps of any furniture I'd love to have a look. I think I may even start to do a little feature once a week on revamps people have done, so make sure you send me yours!
