My new "old" cart

I got this cart at GW outlet 

for $2

I wasn't sure what

 I was going to do with it

I just thought it was cute

but not really into the pink

soooooo

I decided to crackle finish it

I thought copper as the base

 until I put it on and didn't like it at all

way too pink

so a used a brown

since I wanted it aged looking

I wasn't overly careful

in painting

I then put the crackle finish

and once it dried applied

Heirloom White

paint

Viola it started

cracking right away

I had a few flubs

 I had to go over 

but in the end 

that made it 

look more aged

I painted the wheels heirloom

crackle 

then 

ochre color

I don't usually 

like crackle finish

but I thought it

 would look better

as an aged piece

I plan to use it 

to display items

when I have 

my craft booth

Bird Cage

I tried to come up
with something
 unique for the name
but couldn't....

I bought this bird cage
abt 2 yrs ago

and bird stand separately

and have gone back and forth
on what color I finally decided ORB
original post

This seems to be the year

 of catch up on all the projects

I have had sitting around

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

Free Paint Sample

I got my free Valspar sample today

I was impressed on how nice the pkging is

Valspar

They give away 1000 samples 

every day starting at 10 EST

It came with the paint sample

and a small pan

and rollers

It also includes a $5 off cpn

complimentary palette

I'm not sure when it started

but my understanding is it will last 100 days

Even if you don't have a project 

in mind 

you might want to get a sample

for future use

even if its just for frames

I will be using mine

as the accent color on

the outside of my house

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
