MISS MOOX: Before and After

I recently stumbled upon another local blogger's blog, Keller Creative. It is always exciting to meet a local person that shares your passion! She is a major DIY'er and is nice enough to share the details of her projects with her readers. She found this old medical cart at Paige's Thieve's Market and thought it would make a fantastic bar cart. Ironically, I was at Paige's the day prior and thought the very same thing! Sadly, I passed, she however nabbed it up! It was exciting for me to see what someone else's vision was for the very same find. She did a great job! Check it out...

For Sale over at Southern Accents

For you loyal readers...I was without Internet for two days hence the lack of post yesterday (I already had one que'd for Thursday). When my house got hit by lightening it messed up my wireless router and so everything has been out of wack. New router + $150 IT bill + hours of cursing on my end and I'm back in business! Now onto fun things...

I was recently turned onto this blog, The Southern Eclectic, written by a local gal. She has a phenomenal before and after. I wouldn't attempt to tackle this myself so cheers to her!

You might remember an earlier post I did about turning what once was a horn purse into horn pillows.

Well now I have taken the remaining horn pieces and turned them into art! I bought a set of framed snowflake cards at an antique store...

Took out the snowflake cards and green matts...

Painted the frames chocolate brown...

And sewed the horn pieces 1-6 onto an aqua burlap...

Tada!

If you love them, they are for sale in my booth over at Southern Accents.

Makes you want to go hit up Craigslist, doesn't it?

Ahh, the power of paint! I had to show this one as I have the same dresser (only in tall chest form) and I have been dying to paint it but haven't landed on a color yet. I am in love, love, love with the Chinoiserie style! Well done.

Looks like they kept the hardware but painted it brass? What do you think...should I keep the hardware on mine? Get new? Paint them the same color as the chest?

What do you get when you combine a dresser, some old shutters and an unworn belt?

This bad boy, that's what.

I have a white tray exactly like this...pardon me while I go gussy it up!

Since Oly came out with their Serena masterpiece, we have all dreamed of having one of our very own but they can be costly! So why not use a strainer and some capiz shell strands (I think they are from a room divider) to make your own chandelier!
