I Made a Rustic Weathered Wood Wall Rack with Verdigris Accents

 The tourist season, in Southport, will soon be in full swing. So, I've started to focus on creating some new items to add to my inventory, in my space, at the Northrop Antiques Mall.

This weathered, wood rack is what I made today.

I found these great verdigris drawer pulls in Hobby Lobby...I love their detailed carving.

The cast iron bird knob came from there, too.

Vintage knobs from an old dresser were added in between.

A little bundle of lavender

vintage post cards

and a hanging bud vase are included with the deal.

I had no where to hang it for photos, so our porch is where it ended up.
























Usually, I get comments on our screened in porch, so, I thought that I'd share a few more pics of it with you. 




This is my favorite wooden tote....my honey's old toolbox!

This was the porch from last Mother's Day. You can see more looks and other views around the room, just type " screened in porch" in my search bar, too!

I'll be back to show you my memo/organizer window that went to my space, too!

 Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP
and Gucci, too!

No Sew Lampshade Cover

I was wanting to do something with my lampshade for a long time. Priorities come first and what to do, that would be fast and easy, just weren't coming to my mind. 
Well, finally, something really, really easy popped into my brain!

It started with this scrap of leftover fabric

cut into "eyeballed" strips

with some ribbons of lace and scripted cotton.

The old, boring, lampshade from my past Valentine's Day post.

The only effort involved in this easy re-do was cutting lengths of the ribbon and "eyeballing" the width and length of the fabric strips, knotting the ends and hot gluing them to the inside, top edge.

I can take them off, without any damage, when I'm ready to try something new.

I'm happy with it's new look on my shabby, old washstand....my most viewed post on it's re-do is here.

I love the slightly raggy look!

A simple, little vignette with "grandma's" red, baby shoe.

This sentimental plaque was a $2 Goodwill find. I miss my Goodwill from back home...the $2 lamp and $20 washstand came from there, too!

Try this project with fabric and ribbons that fit in with your decor....the possiblities are endless!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP
