Pumpkins Cider and Hayrides Autumn Craft from old Cupboard door

I am trying to Motivate myself to get working on some Fall
Crafts. So I am recapping this old post in the hopes of being INSPIRED!
ENJOY!

Good Morning my Beauties.
Just a quick post to show you IN FACT that I did do an
Autumn craft this year..:)
I actually did it a couple weeks ago and just now
am getting around to posting it.
Its modeled after the one that Ella Claire did which I just loved.

I have a ton of these old doors in my shed thanks to a friend who remodeled her kitchen.
I save them for when I have just the right sign I want to make.
I just filled the the old hole from the knob and started painting.

I used some custom mixed colors on this to get the reddish orange on the edge.
and painted the middle white.
Wanting the sign to look old its nice because it doesn't have to be perfect.

Using my silhouette I just cut out the words "pumpkins Cider and Hayrides" in'
different fun fonts and then added the arrow.
I used acrylic paint to paint in the stencil.
When it was done I waxed and buffed the whole thing.
and now I can say I did an Autumn craft and get that whole monkey off
my back..LOL!!
I hope you enjoyed!

and now I really want some CIDER..:)
Have a BEAUTIFUL day...
Until next time,
Karin

Vintage ANCHOR Nautical COASTAL dresser MAKEOVER

Hello my BEAUTIES!

Well...its Summer and its official...I have gone COASTAL!

I can't help it.

I have fallen hard for the Nautical coastal thing

and this latest Makeover is a sure sign of my LOVE!

I got this dresser dirt cheap at a thrift shop, and before any of you wood lovers

go nuts..this was PAINTED to look like wood...It wasn't even wood grain...

It was pieces and parts of different wood put together and painted to look like wood.

I sanded the whole thing and removed the knobs and got to work.

 

Now you know how much I LOVE paint...and 

love to experiment. Well one of the paints I have NEVER EVER tried..

but had heard amazing things about was Maison Blanche.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to try it and

I can tell you ........LOVE IT!

I got the NAVY and its a true NAVY..not to black..not too purple...

NAVY!!

I can tell you, it went on like BUTTAH...
 Maison Blanche is easy to use because it requires no prep! You don't have to use primer, you don't have to sand. Plus, it's a chalk based paint so it'll stick to almost anything.

Oh baby....

I was hooked...this  Vintage Furniture Paint was making me SING!!

I can tell you...I am pretty sure if anyone walked in the garage at this 

point they would have heard me singing..

"in the navy"... I am not too proud to admit that...:)

Once I was done putting on my Navy Chalky paint

and I let it dry it was time to WAX.

For that I chose Maison Blanche Antique wax in clear. 

I figured the Navy was dark enough for what I was going for.

Now for the fun!

You know me...

I love fun!

Since we were going with the NAVY nautical coastal theme..I just HAD to add and ANCHOR.

I used my silhouette to cut out a vinyl Anchor stencil, laid it on my dresser and used

Maison Blanche Miel to paint on my anchor.

I just used my normal stenciling brush to paint it on.

Since I was going over a dark color I gave it two coats.

After it dried I distressed my anchor and gave it another coat of wax and buffed the whole thing.

I switched out the knobs for some stars that completed the look.

Much better don't you agree.?

I am thrilled with how great Maison Blanche paint worked

and can tell you I for sure will be 

using these paints again.

Admit it...You are now humming in the Navy, aren't you?
:)
You're welcome..
I hope you enjoyed this latest makeover.
Until next time..
Go make someones day BEAUTIFUL!

Luck O’ the Irish

While purple is my favorite color, these days I have been leaning more towards green….Kelly green in particular.

I have been using green accents upstairs in our house….my gallery wall, my garage sale lamp, and even little monkey’s desk {that color is called Later Gator by Valspar}. It just makes me feel so very happy. And what better time to feature the wonderful, cheerful green ideas than in March for St Patrick's Day! I even put in my interpretation of a pot of gold.  May you all find the leprechaun's riches at the end of the rainbow and enjoy the party!

              

Let's be friends: Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, Twitter

This week's O' Green Features

1. Homemade Shamrock Shake from twelve o eight 

2. St Patrick's Day Glasses Tag from Dolen Diaries 

3. The Tipsy Leprchaun from Our Mini Family 

4. Shamrock Button Covers from Crafty Journal 

5. Burlap Runner from The Colored Door 

All of these are lucky, yummy, creative projects.
