Triple Post

I would like to thank both our hosts for these parties, and

remind everyone to visit and get some really great ideals.

I am also going to try and answer a few questions or show a

picture, since I have been bad and not answered questions

individually, I don't know where my time goes. I would also

like to Thank everyone for your gracious and kind comments

and all your encouragement it means the world to me!!!

This is a full view of the pepper grinder I used on my

Tuscany tablescape.

I had several people commenting on my cloche, they

thought it might be an antique because of the air

bubbles in it. It's not!!! I bought it several years ago

at Big Lots.

This is a larger picture of my wine rack. Yes it is shaped

like a cello, it holds ten bottles of wine. It was a gift

from my DH a couple of years ago for Valentines Day.

As you can tell I like unusual stuff, and take my word

for it you will be seeing more!! Once again Thank You

for your interest.

Now for my first Thrifty find. I have no ideal what this is.

I found it at the thrift store for .50 and just couldn't pass

it up. Looks like it may have been some sort of drying rack.

After a few new spindles on the bottom and a little stain,

not to bad. But the question will be asked, (what is that

thing)?

Well it could hold extra dishes and linens.

Let me think of something else I could do with it.

My next find was a .25 tassel. Way to plain for me!!!

See I told you I knew what this thing was. Simple, it holds

guest towels .

Now I can live with this tassel.

I know I said last Sunday I would show you the completed

facelift to one of my guest bathrooms. But as construction

goes, it didn't all go this week. So I am going to show you a

sneak peek, at some of whats gone on. So here we go!!!

This was the beautiful stick on tile we had before!!!

Sorry I didn't mean to hurt your eyes twice.

This is what I am living with now.

This my dear friends is the cottage cheese off the ceiling.

And if you think this is ugly, you would not have wanted

to see me, because I was the scrapper, sander and painter.

The plain white textured wall.

Same wall with some bead board and my surprise

piece for the room. You will find a surprise peice in every

room in my house. You can still see a little piece of the green

floor in the background. I love the contrast between all the

white and the antique chest. I changed the knobs from the

original wooden knobs the chrome and white. The chest

recieved a very light sanding, then staining. I failed to get a

picture of the old vanity, but next week you will know what it

lookied like when I show you a picture of the lighting, it all

matched, in the 70's. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and

will come back soon. Please leave a comment, and I will see

everyone at Barb's Tuesday!!!
