TIN HANDLES ON SHABBY CHIC WHITE NIGHTSTANDS



Besides the 12 days of fog, the weather has been nice enough here that I have been able to spray paint some things out side. As well my friend calls just to let me know how upset he is that it's warmer in Western Canada than at his home in Central Florida. Here's hoping spring comes to everyone a bit sooner than expected.

FIXING A HARP AND MIRROR - old hinges

 
 
Here is a great use for one of those old hinges we all have in the junk drawer
or filling up a jar on the garage shelf.

  
REPLACED HINGE                               ORIGINAL MECHANISM
 
This mirror's left pivoting mechanism was twisted and broken off making the mirror unusable.
While the owner is looking for a replacement part an old hinge will keep the mirror in place.
The hinge can be used vertically or horizontally but the mirror will not be able to pivot.
 
HAPPY FIXING

SMALL CHANGES in the dressing room



For no good reason I pulled a muscle in the back of my shoulder. I'm resting and taking it easy but I can't create so I'm puttering around the house walking stiff like a penguin.

FRENCH ARMOIRE - painting and distressing




It's not a classic French Armoire but it's heavy like one. I'm over joyed to start the new year with something so grand and beautiful but I didn't plan it that way.
