New projects coming SOON!

I have been working on a few things lately and starting new projects before the last one is finished!  Lot of pictures to come.  Working on my "Mouse Pee" dresser today.....hoping to get it done.  It has been A LOT of more work then what I excepted.  No wonder it was so cheep.  I also had to get Kenny involved so he could cut some boards for it.  Why you ask??  Because the mouse pee has taken over.....it has made our whole garage smell like death for the past 3 weeks!  Insert GAG face here!

Also I am redoing our spare bedroom.  Not getting into it to much because it will hopefully be a nursery in the next couple years or so.  But until then it will be my craft and sewing room.  Cant wait!  So stay tuned for lots of pictures!

Our shed redo and flea market finds!

First off our shed had turned UGLY grey and was a eye-sore!  We (I) have been wanting to paint it for 4 years and it is finally done!  Here are some pictures of the process.

Before.....pressure washing

Priming.....

AFTER!:)  This project took us all last week....painting and landscaping:)  Kenny made the window boxes and the shutters.  And the windows were still blah so I made them match our house windows with alittle white electrical tape!!:)  Genius!  Except trying to get the tape lined up perfectly was a pain!

Here is Kennys pride and joy.....is it me or Carter???  NO!  His gardens!  They are turning out really good and we had our first HUGE bowls of salad from it!  YUMMY!

Here is our first harvest of lettuce!!!

My little helper on his tractor!

The next project the idea came from the website www.pinterest.com.....if you havent visited this website you are missing out!!  I got the candle sticks from the flea market for .50 cents and the plates and bowl from Walmart for super cheep.  I love how it turned out and will be great for cheese and crackers!

Here is what I used......

And here is the finished project!

I really didnt take a lot of pictures at the flea market mainly because I forgot.....I was to caught up in it all!  We left at 7:15 and got there alittle after 8am.....apparently to late bc our first stop that we always make when we get there some lady was buying TONS of stuff!  And of course I wanted what she was buying....note to self...go earlier next time!  Here are a couple of pictures and our truck on the way home....NOTE: One load had already went home with Kenny and my Dad! 

I just really like this table....I didnt buy it but it would have made a awesome dining room table!

Here is a dresser that I bought for $20.  I just started redoing it today...its going to be a lot of work. A bigger project then what I had thought it was going to be.  It has a nice stink of mouse pee and mold and the drawers are falling apart inside.  I think its bc the amount of mice that have peed in it in the past 50 years!  Stay tuned for after pictures!

Mouse nest....SUPER stinky!

This is another thing I bought but it didnt need any work!  Love the color!!

Until August flea market!!

Flea Market here I come!

Tomorrow is one of 3 days a year that I SOOO look foward too!  If you dont know what Im talking about I will be happy to fill you in!:)  Whatcheer, Iowa, 3 times a year has a fantasic flea market.  Its huge and takes us all day to get through.   If you cant make it this weekend I will post some pictures of the day and hopefully some of my finds.  If you can make it...its Friday-Sunday and starts at 7 am.  We have been sick this week of course!  What a "great" week to be sick.  So Im hoping everyones antibotics will be fully kicked in by tomorrow!! 

On my list tomorrow...and as in list, its really what Im keeping my eye out for.  Because I could come home with everything on my list or nothing.  A sitting chair to redo, antique plates to make a cake stand, candle sticks, hooks, door knobs (I want to make a coat/purse hanger), and some outdoor decor.  And Im picky when it comes to outdoor decor, I dont want it to look like junk sitting around. 

As for any projects this week.....we started our shed redo!  Im so excited.  Before it was just plain wood that had turned grey in the last 4 years.  Ugly!  So now between being sick and the rain, its almost primed.  A few trim pieces to finish.  I think we will paint it the same as the house...darker tanish.  Kenny has made flower boxes for the shed and will be making shutters.  I might be painting those black.  Who knows.  I have taken before pictures but I will post them when it is all done:)   It a long time overdue!! 

Anyway...hope you all have a great weekend and sorry for a boring post!  Hopefully after tomorrow I will have some new projects in the works!
