  Idea #2…

Do you remember this old drawer?

I gave it a new back, new handle, painted it and turned it into this.

I showed you a few ideas of how to use this in your home décor.

One of them was to add a few coffee cans with raffia tied around them

which looked like this…

What a cute “cottagey” way to display flowers, herbs… even your pens and pencils!

Well… 

Now… I think my cottage drawer wants to play dress up …

And dress up she did!

Just by adding a hand sewn pleated skirt, made her into a cute

Girly Cottage Drawer!

NOW…

I just have to share with you some fun comments made on the Girly Barn Mirror.

Cute, Clever & Funny:

Idea #1… My Girly Barn Mirror

Hi friends!

(Warning… no your eyes are not playing tricks on you…

some of the pics are slightly blurry from the laptop cam)

Anywho…

My husband surprised me a couple of weekends ago when

he asked me if I wanted to go to the thrift store…

UM… together!!!

What???

Are you kidding me?

Oh ladies… I’ve been praying for him and I think God is working!

LOL!

So get this… we went thrifting the whole day!

The whole day!!

WOW!

And he enjoyed it!

WOW… AGAIN!

(Sigh)

It was a good day!

So… onto one of my finds!

This is just a plain, weathered barn wood mirror…

I love it!

It wasn’t there my first walk through but when I came through again…

there it laid… begging me to take it!

I did.  It was meant to be!

But, I think it needs a little ruffle in it’s step… don’t cha think?

This is one of the ideas I had for my cute little skirt… 

My new girly barn mirror!

Just glue or tack on a pleated skirt and…

Voila!

I think this is a cute way to dress up any mirror… don’t you?
