When one thing leads to another......

Walked into my craft room the other day and took one look at this............................

and thought you HAVE to do something, girl!

Lo and behold, that evening, when I was browsing the blogs I came upon Antie Joy's A Day In The Life blog. Joy is a very personable lady who lives in Oregon too, and ta-da! there was my inspiration.  Joy had recently redone her studio and redressed her shelves to the Nimes!

I decided I needed to have me some of that, so I started with the broom and a box and cleaned up and decluttered and rearranged the shelves first....like this..

and this.............

That's when I thought...hmmmmm....this white looking set of drawers sitting underneath my new arrangement looks really blah......

Well, that won't do......the next inspiration came from looking at too many blogs and reading too many magazines..........I got out an old book written in German and started tearing pages out of it..........

Just glue them on with some Modge Podge and let it dry........

With a sharp razor blade I trimmed off the excess paper, glazed the whole thing with some dark walnut stain and varnished.

Added glass knobs and a box-store set of drawers takes on some character. 

Well, now, you probably noticed the lovely blue drawer fronts on dresser below......that will never do.....out comes the white paint, a glaze of stain and a little sandpaper and here we go...........

Rest of the room is looking much better too........at least you can see the floor.....yeah, I painted that too....but it was five or six years ago.

Recognize the paint brush holder?  I got it for a dollar at a church rummage sale, it is a silver plated cruet set holder....repurposed.

And I will leave you with my card.......

That is how it goes for me.....one thing ALWAYS leads to another!
