Last October, I stumbled upon these 3 pews for $25 each at a garage sale just down the highway from my house. It's been a long time coming, but the vision for one of them finally took shape this weekend. BEFORE Any guesses? For our little project, we knew we needed to raise the height of the pew. So I looked high and low for the perfect sized castors for months. On a Spring Break trip to Louisiana, we found this great junk store. I've never seen so much junk in all my life. And look! A shopping cart FULL of old castors. Got 4 of 'em for $20. {Thanks to Aunt Rwach for helping me fish them out.} Any guesses now? When Britton takes on a project that requires his Bob-Villa-esque skills, he puts this little red pencil behind his ear. It belonged to his Gramps. I love that. Here's the pew on our front porch. Right before we had to man-handle it up the stairs into our bedroom. Solid oak church pew = HEAVY! Anyone figured out what we did yet? ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* AFTER We absolutely LOVE it! Our bedroom is in desperate need of paint, trim, stain and 100 other finishing touches. We also dream of the day when - for the first time in our marriage - we'll finally break down and buy ourselves some new, matching, fluffy Company Store/Pottery Barn/LL Bean-ish bedding. Maybe for our 10th anniversary in January. We will have certainly earned it by then, right? But then again, I'm not giving up hope that one of those HGTV stars will show up with their little crew and makeover the whole thing so I don't have to.................................... O 'scuse me, I was daydreaming. But until the HGTV people arrive, or until I have a few hundred extra dollars, this custom, one-of-a-kind-$45-headboard-with-cute-little-green-castors makes me just about as happy as I could possibly be. AND, it's finally okay to fall asleep in a church pew. Whatdya think?

Everyone loves a piano.

When I found this suitcase I didn't know how I would use it, but after a few days I knew what I was going to do with it. It has now become my sewing case. When I'm working on a project I like to hangout in the same room with my family so this allows me to carry the necessities with me.I I found this suitcase at the local antique store for $7.50, the case was a little beat up on the inside so I decided to tear it out and start from scratch. After tearing out the lining, I used a cardboard box and a vintage sheet to fashion a new lining that would become a peg board for my sewing tools. I used some paint that was left over from my daughters room redo to spruce up the interior. Then all I needed to do was add some pretty fabric, a box to hold piece work, bottles to hold pins, and a pin cushion. Finally, after a day of work and $8.50 my sewing case was complete. Now onto the larger suitcase.
