Before and After

I’m joining Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch  for:

Go over for a visit and see what every one is up to.

On the way home from swimming last week I stopped at GoodWill and found this.

 Rushed home and turned it into this.

Go Saints 3-0

I used freezer paper to make a stencil, ironed it onto the pillow case, painted on the fleur de lis with black fabric paint.  I Lurve It!

It adds a bit of cozy comfort to the rocker on the porch.

You can find directions for the freezer paper stencil here.  I can think of lots of fun things to do with this idea.  Hopefully things I’ll do this coming week.

Roadkill Rescue

Over at Infarrantly Creative they are having a Roadkill Rescue Party. So I'm thinkin I want to party too.

A few years back on a dumpster diving run my kids and I found this queensize footboard and just couldn't pass it up. Soo into the van it went. I just knew I would find some fabulous project for it. Well a couple of months go by and I'm at my Mom's house walking around the yard with her enjoying all the flowers when I spy with my little eye this headboard. She and my dad had found it on the side of road. Like mother like daughter. Soo this lil puppy went into my van and magically my talented husband turned it into this lovely bench for our patio. It was dark brown stained after a coat of crackle medium and off white paint. Voila

Enjoying the bench with my girls.
