My good friend Stacy recently came over for a visit and really wanted to build a daybed. She had liked Ana's Rectangles Daybed inspired by West Elm's Windows Daybed, but we wanted to do a twist on that original. I love all things herringbone and drew up some plans via sketch-up for a herringbone style daybed and Stacy loved them! We got to work and spent a full day working on and finishing the bed. I marked this project as "advanced" due to all of the thinking and miter cuts that have to happen in this plan. Once you get the pattern, you can knock it out pretty quickly, but for us, getting that down was a little tricky. I wouldn't try this as a first project. I've listed the materials and cuts that you'll need to build the bed here, but for the full plans, head on over to my blog, Old Paint Design! http://www.oldpaintdesign.com/2012/01/17/stacy-daybed/

I don't know where it came from, but I have a special lace in my heart for vintage stoves. They must have such stories to tell . Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble... All the baked love that must have came from these works of art , to feed their precious families. A simmering pot of homemade chicken soup , or a freshly baked loaf of bread. It doesn't matter whose kitchen I'm in or what style of picture of a kitchen I'm perusing over, I'm looking for that "something" that catches my oh-so-curious eye. Check out this beauty! MY PRETTY PINK POTS AND PANS pink pig grill !!! Exquisite beauty, impeccable craftsmanship. Every stove bears markings and characteristics that reflect its unique history and life, signs of its years of service to generations of families and homes since the turn-of-the-century. These stoves are well-loved and have lived long, useful lives. *********************************************************** Here is a picture of my stove before the "Girlie-Barbie " makeover...~ and here she is after... Today I found this one on e-bay, and I REALLY want it BAD ! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for looking!
