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!

I have "Spring Fever" and My Lilac Ladder

I'm sure that you're all starting to feel it.....
the fever... 
the only one that feels so-o-o good!


Now, I've had mine for a while now. It started after our nasty winter  ice storm, several weeks ago, when branches and debris wrecked havoc all over the place. After a lot of labor and seeing how neat our yard looked again, that's when it hit me....my annual "spring fever." And of course I needed a cure, so off I went to the garden center and a flat of pansies and a few little herbs were the start of it all!

An old, wooden toolbox is the centerpiece for the table on the porch.

With realistic, faux, lavender resting inside.


This is it's wonderful detail from another past post.

Our favorite place to hang from spring through fall...

with a country vignette to sit and admire.

It's my chippy old shutter and my, hand painted, ladder.

I painted the lilacs about 15 years ago.

It's gotten pretty chippy over  the years....it makes me feel like painting, again!




"Gucci's" always lurking around!


I just love this wreath...it's simple and "springy"....not bad for a $2 fake!


Chippy, crusty love with a touch of shabby glam.


Another vignette to sit and admire.


My favorite, vintage watering can came out of it's storage...


sporting it's rusty, verdigris coat....LOVE!

 It then got moved to the wreath on the door.



It's the back entrance on our screened in porch, it enters into the Carolina room.



Vintage, green shutters and a primitive, red rocker make another corner vignette.

A rusty old campfire grate holds packages of seeds for display.


This is my birdcage, it holds an accumulation of corks and herbs. It was once in our old kitchen, you can see that post here.

I, actually, started my "springifying" outside...that post's not ready, yet. And I did do some spring changes in our kitchen with some ironstone and transferware.

You can see that post here.


I'll be back, soon, to share more changes inside and outside, too....just waiting for my jasmine to come into full bloom!


Love, Hugs and Kisses,

JP
