What I Did With My Frame From Last Week

Happy Monday!

Last week I told you all about my new LOVE

Rub n Buff

and my beautiful frame......

I decided my sister needed my frame!

She liked what I did in my bathroom with all the mirrors.

And did the same thing on a huge wall in her bedroom.

See how cute this turned out.....

We added the frame up in the corner.

The goal is to find another little mirror to hang inside it.

I really like the way this turned out with all different 

colors of frames around the mirrors!

Good job Little Sister!

And the huge wonderful mirror in the center.......

MINE

When I moved from my HUGE 2 bedroom condo,

with a loft to my 800 sq ft old farm house,

that mirror did not fit anywhere........

And my sister just came in my house and took it!

Just loaded it in her SUV and drove off into the sunset,

dust flying off her tires with a huge smile on her face..............

Beware Little Sister, beware........

wait till I go shopping in your house!

I love this stuff!!

I first happened on this stuff from the 

Amazing Kim at Savvy Southern Style!

And now I'm addicted!

Remember last summer my sister and I got all

these frames in Walnut Iowa.

They are kinda beat up!

To the non junker they see fire wood....

I / we junkers see beyond...........

This once was really pretty!

 I love all the molding......

But as you can see it's coming off 

So I decided to spray paint it really thick to hold the molding on!

Get out the way chickens or your gonna be white!

Once it dried.....

It was really WHITE.....

That's when I remembered the rub stuff......

Hobby Lobby didn't have it and neither did Michael's!

Finally found it at Jo Ann's Fabrics!

I used an old Bounce sheet to rub it on!

Don't want to mess the nails!

Look at that thing of beauty.......

And that's why I love this stuff!!!

I Was Interviewed........

I found Sarah, the wit behind So....what else? forever ago.


Sarah is a Mom, wife and a substitute teacher,
and she lives for Dr. Quinn......
You remember the show....Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.......?


Sarah makes me laugh 
out loud!
Not a lame LOL, 
but really out loud!!


Sarah also has a special section on her blog
Kira In The Car
Kira is her daughter and Kira is out there!
The stuff that comes out of her mind is amazing......??


So without further ado 
Please check out my interview with Sarah!

So.....what else?

Easter Decorations / My Sister's House

 I told you my sister had an ulterior motive inviting me to lunch!

When I got to her house this cabinet 

somehow was empty.........

So I added some material carrots in a jar......

and 

some eggs.......

and a really cute bunny platter.....

And of course 

Easter eggs that Gram made!

Look at these......

Gram called this Bread Dough Flowers!

Look how cute!

 My sister and get our creative side from Gram!!

And there you have it!

Phase 1 of my Sister's Easter Decor!

I couldn't get a good photo with the doors closed because of the glare!

She wants me to visit again next weekend.......

I'll keep you posted!

Recipe Card Decorating Part 2 / My Sister

So when my sister saw the blog about 

Grandma's recipe cards and what I did with them

she had a fit.

She had forgot I had them and wanted some for her kitchen too!

I guess I have to share.......I mean it is her Gram too 

and

she was going to tell Mom!

Big, fat, tattle tail, baby!!

Here is my sister's cabinet before........

As I have mentioned in past blogs my sister has a consignment store!
As you can see her stuff is awesome!

Not only that, 
she has a real house!
By that I mean, 
way more than 800 sq ft, 
not like my little, tiny, 1929 farm house.


She has so much fun stuff!
Actually she is kind of on the edge of her own
hoarding show on A & E!! 
I kid......


So this is what I did.........

Just hung some string in the back of the top shelf.


Here's the other shelves I re-did for her!

See my sister tricks me........
She calls me and says come over for dinner!


Then when I get there 
she has everything emptied out of a cupboard,
her kitchen, living room.......
And she wants to re-arrange everything!!

She said something about coming over next weekend for lunch.......
Ummmm something tells me these going to be 
a whole lot of 
bunny stuff around waiting 
to be put somewhere.......

The Versatile Blogger Award! For Me?

Tammy at Type A Decorating sent me over a Versatile Blogger award.

If you haven't checked Tammy's blog out, you need to!

She is crazy, she cracks me up!

She never stops!!

Tammy lives in Colorado too, so we are planning a road trip this summer

to meet Michelle at Shell's Shabby Shack.  Michelle is also in Colorado.

That should be FUN!

I Framed My Lavender

So remember the great Lavender I got last week........


I had this old frame.........

Ummmmm Jane has old frames, imagine that!

I just used some twine and tied my Lovely Lavender in the frame!

I decided to hang it on the hooks over the bed!

Changed the bedding to white....spring fever.

This pillow, Anthropolgie, on sale!!

SCORE!! 

Look how cute that looks........and it smells so good!

Of course The Boyfriend was upset I hung

dead flowers,

that could have bugs in them,

that could fall into his mouth at night

on his side of the bed.........

 And I told him.........he needed to sleep with his mouth shut!

Lavender Love..........

Look what I just got in the mail!!!

Can you guess where I bought this.......

Maria at Dreamy Whites

of course!

When I got home from work I could smell the box 

as I was getting out of my car!!!

I wish I knew how to do scratch and sniff on my pictures!!!!

The bottom of the box was filled with little Lavender flakes,

that's what I put in the dish.

It was packaged so pretty!!!

I ordered 2 bunches of Lavender.

This would really be a great gift for somebody!!  

Or yourself......

I'm telling you, it was a piece of art in the box!!!!

Spring is just around the corner.....

you know you want some!

THE GREAT COLORADO IKEA COUNTDOWN

So Lisa at Serendipity Chic and I were chatting 
and she asked me what was up with my IKEA!
I had also been chatting with Kindra, At Home With K 
( who went dumpster diving last night, 
you have got to read her post today, HILARIOUS!!!  )


Anyway I invited Kindra out for the Grand Opening!  
She's in Nebraska, which is close!


So it got me thinking, who else is close?
We could make a Blog Party out of it!!!
How fun would that be?

As you can see we have some time to plan........

The Colorado IKEA is located next to the Park Meadows Mall, 
in Lone Tree, CO.
There is a hotel 2 blocks away!


Has anybody ever gone to an IKEA Grand Opening?
Would we be taking our lives into our own hands?
Would we be trampled to death.......

Wednesday Party!
