China Hutch Re-do

Wow, it certainly has been a long time since I posted anything on here. But I have still been reading everyone's blog and keeping up in blog land.
I finally figured out what to do with my china cabinet that certainly was not prim at all. The above picture is what is used to look like..ugly but served it's purpose I guess. I took the glass doors off, added bead board to the back and the sides, sanded it all down and painted. The back got painted a tan color and the rest black. Lightly distressed it and I love the way it turned out. It is decorated for Christmas right now. I need to add to my Folk-art collection of dishes...do not have many, so it looks a little bare right now.
One of my many projects on the list is to add beadboard to my kitchen walls to cover up that wallpaper border...to country for my taste now. Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday Season!

Need Help

Can someone please tell me the name of this quilt pattern? I have searched & searched the web for a pattern and while I have found some similar to it, not the exact match. I have even written to the company where I found it at and they don't even know the name of the pattern.

RedWare Crock

I bought this redware crock from Janae of Cozy Coops Corner
She is selling some of her prims and I was lucky enough to get this from her. It is way bigger then I was expecting and I can't wait to get my fireplace mantle done as I think that will be the perfect spot for this beauty.

Some new bowls

I bought these bowls at an antique mall for $4.00 I think ( was a few months ago..lol) I've slowly been working on them. I got all of the little ones done and I'm halfway done with the big one.
Here are 3 of the little ones finished. I did the usual thing...sand, base coat black, paint top coat, sand lightly and then add stain. I wasn't too sure how the white one was going to turn out as this is the first time I used antique white, but after adding the stain I love it, and it is my favorite one. The 4th one I did in mustard, but haven't found a spot for that one yet. I think I am going to do the big one in the antique white also.

Cabinet make-over

I bought this cabinet for my bathroom from Target a few years ago and while I did like it at first it just itsn't prim enough. So I did a make-over on it and love the way it looks now.

I sanded it down and painted it black and then distressed it a bit. I left the door off and like how it looks with out it. The towels, my hair dryer, etc. are hidden in the drawers instead of on the shelf like they used to be. I also re-did the jars with new labels that I printed out and glued on them.

Candle holder..ebay

Seriously I think I'm addicted to Ebay!! This is my newest win, a prim candle holder, for only $8.99 with shipping...love it.

New Treasures Part 1

Went to a Antique mall the other day and picked up a few treasures. Hoping to go back in a few weeks as they actually had some crocks for decent prices. I couldn't carry anything else or I would have gotten some more..lol.. The grater was only $1.00 and very old & rusty, other booths had them for $4.00 and up so this was a good deal.

This candle holder was only $1.50, very heavy treenware. Not sure if I will paint it or leave it this color yet.
Old rolling pin with green handles..$4.00 and very heavy. I replaced mine with this one in the crock in earlier post. Looks much better as it looks old compared to mine..lol
My find of the day! This crock is in perfect condition. I know it's not old but I love it. It was 20% off so I only paid $11.20. It sorta of matches my Pfaltzgraff dishes so I put in the china cabinet with it...looks really good in there. Have a few more items that I picked up, but they need to be made-over so will show you when they are done.

New Arrangement

Was moving stuff around today and I did this little new arrangement. I got the washboard off of ebay a few weeks ago and the rolling pin is mine from my kitchen drawer. I don't know how long the towel will stay there until the puppies realize they can pull it out. I want to stitch a prim saying on it though.
