A Whiter Shade....


I had bought 2 cheese keepers
awhile ago
and I also have had these bases for awhile


lightly sanded everything



I didn't like the original look of these
I'm also not sure what they were


I sprayed them with 
Heirloom White


and glued the bases
to the tops
and viola!!




I've had this table for awhile
it was in really bad shape
the leather had cigarette burns


 and initially
 I painted in black 
but hated it!
So it got a couple of coats
of Heirloom White too!




I got these plates
quite a while ago



(yes I am finally 
getting to all "those" projects
I spray painted it 
again with the Heirloom White
(yes I do use other colors)


Using the Damask Decor
Cricut cartridge 
I cut this out
of vinyl


using transfer paper I centered it
and rubbed it into place


It took longer
to choose a design!


Most of these items
 will be in my upcoming yard sale

Lamp Base Birdfeeder


Became this



I glass lamp base
1 glass divided plate
It needs to be divided in order for it to sit up

unscrew the base from the rest of the lamp


after dismantling


I used the glass base
and the middle rod

I got the following couplets
 in the lightening dept
 they have threads
 all the way threw so you
could combine 2 rods
at Lowe's
I needed this piece to make
the rod stick up higher





I glued on to a washer



I  glued to a knob to hold the lid on

I then glued the bottom 
of the washer



 to the divided plate



then glued the lamp to
 the divided plate with E6000


Cut a hole in the plate





 and screw the knob on the top
Because the glass is so heavy
we ended up putting
 a screw down the top 
of the knob after we
 put the wire for the hanger in

I drilled a hole in the knob
prior to gluing it to the extension piece



Viola!!


I forgot to buy birdseed
so tomorrow I'll get some 
and post a photo
with it
