Welcome to our FIRST "Putting YOUR home together!"
</div>
<br />
This week we want you to know that simple projects for each season can add so much to your present decor. <br />
<br />
Here we picked up some easter grass, plastic eggs and these super cute painted metal buckets from the dollar tree.
Cost - $5 tops!!!
<br />
<br />
You can add some unique personalization to them by handwriting, stamping or in this case, stenciling letters or numbers on each bucket. Think of spelling out a last name (if it's shorter of course), first initial of your children or just you and your spouse, ages of each family member, etc. <br />
<br />

This is a great addition to any mantel, wall shelf or countertop for the holiday season. Think about thrifty and versatile too...use these buckets for other purposes later in the year. How about pencil holder? Place on a dresser top for a 'catch all'. Turn them around and write something else on the other side. Stick them on your front steps with flowers in them. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! </div>

It's so gratifying when we (MUST give due credit to hubby) take something that looked like garbage and turn it into something people actually COMPETE for.
This piece is NO exception! I am still kicking myself for letting it go but, alas, this is a business and I need to let LOTS of lovely things go.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UaPvu3o9CGo/UPAZpNIUvhI/AAAAAAAABLs/MZuFWvjZMJk/s1600/vintage%2Bdoor%2Bmirror.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UaPvu3o9CGo/UPAZpNIUvhI/AAAAAAAABLs/MZuFWvjZMJk/s320/vintage%2Bdoor%2Bmirror.jpg" /></a></div>
This door mirror was clearly vintage and came from a home that was being remodeled right here in our town. I couldn't believe the mirror wasn't broken. Hubby suggested we make a 'door table' like we have in the past but I knew it was best to be left as a 'floor length mirror'. I had always wanted one for my bedroom and STILL DO. lol
The mirror was taped off, hardware removed to be buffed and was painted in a home mixture of partial paints to pull off a soft 'robin egg' blue. Distressed and then clear coated it showcased the PERFECT patina! This baby didn't sit 3 hours in my shop last Saturday. I miss it...really bad.
At the same time, there is this thrill of turning something junky into something so sought after. After all...I have had several calls/inquiries to see if I still had it or anything like it this week. THAT makes me smile. :)

We are looking forward to another GREAT year. We have been blessed with meeting so many people and making many, many friends. Our business continues to prosper and we couldn't be more thrilled. As we start the new year off, we are feverishly filling the shop with fun unique pieces. If you aren't already following us on FACEBOOK...you must! We upload new arrivals almost daily.

I'm sure there are still many that are prepping their home for the holidays...no worries, I still have a mantel to get ready.
If you don't follow on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/likeyesterdayshop">facebook</a> then you missed my video showing how to reuse items for your holiday decor. Our small town is holding a "BEST Holiday window" contest and I am hoping for as many votes as possible. I have the ballots in shop and they just need taken right around the corner from me to be turned it. My theme is 'A Recycled Christmas....YOU can do it too!'. Stop by if you are local and take a peek for yourself. My hubby and myself are proud of the recycling that we do and how in turn, we make awesome furniture and decor!

Tonight is our "GIRLS NIGHT OUT" event that we have 3 to 4 times a year. If you haven't been to one, you MUST put it on you list of 'to dos'. :)
Saturday, November 17th is our FIRST holiday open house. The shop will be sporting it's holiday glam and awaiting those holiday shoppers!
Here is a sneak peek of a few things recently brought in...come in to see MORE! :)

Now, maybe there have been times when I would refuse to believe that with certain "meetings". Often times, later on I would realize there WAS a reason...just not all what I was originally thinking. Today I met a very genuine lady and she taught me something. I believe I will greatly benefit from our chat. If you are reading this, I thank you again!!! :)
<p>
Don't forget, Witches Night Out tomorrow night (Thurday, Oct. 18th) from 5pm - 8pm. Stop in and visit with me and browse the scary discounts I have planned.

Things are picking up at our little shop. We are no longer sharing space with another business and this has us making plans to bring in much more furniture. At the moment we are awaiting new flooring before the furniture will start rolling in. Don't get me wrong, our front space is still very much full though. Stop in and visit!
Get some girls/guys who like to shop together and dress up in something 'witchy' on October 18th...our downtown businesses are pulling together to offer discounts, prizes and refreshments for those visiting them. :)

With uncontrolable circumstances, we have been delayed due to a home electrical fire. We are fine but house needs some repair. This has put a hold on refurbishing furniture. As soon as our power is restored (within a few days) we will be back at it, working hard to fill up the shop. Photos will be added here as soon as that happens.
Thank you all for being faithful customers and friends.

I debated on sharing this photo....mainly because I know some of my loyal customers are looking for particular pieces and I might have aquired a few recently. I now need to get a better schedule to where I can work on pieces more efficently. I don't think I've shared much personal insight on here. I try very hard to keep personal and business seperate but when I am so passionate about creating this furniture/decor, it's hard not to get a little personal.
Hubby and I have been in 'talks' about finding a new home that can accomodate our workshop. Currently we work out of our modest ranch home with the attached garage (I'm sure back 'in the day' it held TWO vehicles easily but vehicles today are not as narrow! lol). We are in search of a country home that possibly already has a pole building (workshop) on the property. It's an exhaustingly slow process as we must get our 'ducks in a row'. At the same time it's exciting to think what the future will hold. Recently we seen a home with a couple HUGE outbuildings and I begain to dream of wonderful BARN SALES and organizing our workshop to where we can speed up our productivity. Of course only time will tell. Until then, we are working bit by bit to add items to our shop. It's already the fifth month of the year and I was hoping my shop was in a better state of 'constant available merchandise'. I'm trying not to beat myself up too much but I can't help but stress a little over not having a full shop....daily.
Other fun news, I have been scoring fun vintage items to mix in with the refurbished decor pieces....check out some Holly Hobby. Love.

This group brainstorms and supports each other to make our town stand out! Things are hopping this year with some fresh new shops and extra enthusiasm. We have several events going on among the already sought after yearly happenings. I will share here as they come along for all the locals who want to partake.
Tomorrow evening I will be setting up at the NATMUS Museum here in town among many other unique businesses. Looking forward to more networking and gaining new customers (FRIENDS)!

We can't stress enough our passion for doing what we are doing. We (my wonderfully talented hubby and I) love making something new again.
PERFECT example of a latest piece...

You wouldn't have known this piece was left for the landfill. My husband is a woodworker and was able to give this dresser new life.

One of the drawers had so much "repair" that it was not worth saving. There were a few busted up spots here and there that my husband was able to remove/repair. But the biggest damage was the left front leg. Most would have never given this piece a second thought....but WE did.

Stop in and check them out if you have a child that is ready for the "big bed". <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E6khe9pXlYo/Tx7G6Dh6f5I/AAAAAAAABBs/sZ89iBlE6kA/s1600/black%2Bbed%2Band%2Btable%2Bset.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E6khe9pXlYo/Tx7G6Dh6f5I/AAAAAAAABBs/sZ89iBlE6kA/s320/black%2Bbed%2Band%2Btable%2Bset.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5701212878979891090" /></a><br /><br /><center><a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/wilgeshouse/blog%20images/?action=view&current=A87F6F320595A1D23911485E4B9B1D9F.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/wilgeshouse/blog%20images/A87F6F320595A1D23911485E4B9B1D9F.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624789063828230637.post-66912117599809698222012-01-07T07:57:00.000-08:002012-01-07T08:05:18.211-08:00time to 'fluff'Slowly my friends and family are starting to understand this term "fluff". In this business there comes a time that you MUST "fluff" stuff through out the shop. This also must be done often to keep the visual interest going for all who visit. Not sure why, but I work best after hours and even into the night. Keeping those spidey webs and baby dust bunnies under control doesn't hurt either. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-91bGV9eIsi4/Twhs87gcifI/AAAAAAAABBg/AYPBi0to42g/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-91bGV9eIsi4/Twhs87gcifI/AAAAAAAABBg/AYPBi0to42g/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921522831722994" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRGajpWwnAE/Twhs8o6oyZI/AAAAAAAABBM/uknWU6w6MLw/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRGajpWwnAE/Twhs8o6oyZI/AAAAAAAABBM/uknWU6w6MLw/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921517841303954" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RYk5jMZJlHE/Twhs8dgRAiI/AAAAAAAABBE/xALq2cLXmxQ/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RYk5jMZJlHE/Twhs8dgRAiI/AAAAAAAABBE/xALq2cLXmxQ/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921514777903650" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pLHuMSrD6yA/Twhs8TCOBxI/AAAAAAAABA4/Lz_wwTzH8Ss/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pLHuMSrD6yA/Twhs8TCOBxI/AAAAAAAABA4/Lz_wwTzH8Ss/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921511967524626" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-itLe586p1FA/Twhsq-oCc6I/AAAAAAAABAk/ZW2Lmdg6NwY/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-itLe586p1FA/Twhsq-oCc6I/AAAAAAAABAk/ZW2Lmdg6NwY/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921214431228834" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KFvfBNdi2ps/Twhsq4Yk6pI/AAAAAAAABAc/08W0lbGL300/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KFvfBNdi2ps/Twhsq4Yk6pI/AAAAAAAABAc/08W0lbGL300/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921212755765906" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QdP4rZnsLGA/TwhsqmyBAxI/AAAAAAAABAU/Uq-gVBhuEWw/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QdP4rZnsLGA/TwhsqmyBAxI/AAAAAAAABAU/Uq-gVBhuEWw/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921208030626578" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cy_zIsW9_-Y/TwhsqO9XZ5I/AAAAAAAABAM/ntrFiuW2-oA/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 190px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cy_zIsW9_-Y/TwhsqO9XZ5I/AAAAAAAABAM/ntrFiuW2-oA/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921201635780498" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WXNKffH9Lz8/Twhsp2iw5SI/AAAAAAAAA_8/uI78JEgvq00/s1600/new%2Byear%2Bfluff11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WXNKffH9Lz8/Twhsp2iw5SI/AAAAAAAAA_8/uI78JEgvq00/s320/new%2Byear%2Bfluff11.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694921195081753890" /></a><br /><br /><center><a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/wilgeshouse/blog%20images/?action=view&current=A87F6F320595A1D23911485E4B9B1D9F.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/wilgeshouse/blog%20images/A87F6F320595A1D23911485E4B9B1D9F.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624789063828230637.post-49648957720996513312012-01-03T08:27:00.000-08:002012-01-03T08:35:12.531-08:00a NEW year...I am thrilled to think how wonderful this year can be.

I'm at the shop today enjoying the friendly visitors who stop in. Wanted to share a fun 'refurb' treatment I did quickly the other day.<br /><br />This tray was once used for table service at some restraunt years ago. I found several so I am hoping to get more finished up very soon. I gave it a good cleaning and used Krylon brand chalkboard spray paint for the top. Giving it a couple coats insured it will hold up to that chalk abuse. :) The bottom was finished off in my fave, Oil Rubbed Bronze spray by Krylon too. Hubby was sweet and drilled me some holes for these metal handles I had on hand (another of my many salvaged hardware pieces). Here you have a festive serving tray!<br /><br />Happy Holidays,<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/wilgeshouse/blog%20images/?action=view&current=A87F6F320595A1D23911485E4B9B1D9F.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/wilgeshouse/blog%20images/A87F6F320595A1D23911485E4B9B1D9F.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></center>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624789063828230637.post-77446147700119214852011-12-02T10:40:00.000-08:002011-12-02T10:41:32.361-08:00Unique Repurpose!I wish I had taken a 'before' pic of the TWO pieces of shipping crates that wwere used for this creation.

Start with holding the scissors half way up and curl them...try to get a feel for not curling too tight and also leave some a little more loose. I'm all about things not being perfectly uniform so if you want to try for that look, go for it, it will mostlikely take more time tho. :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-poGvtE-r9QU/TsUxuv_J-SI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/L64AIZsQDv8/s1600/music%2Btree4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-poGvtE-r9QU/TsUxuv_J-SI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/L64AIZsQDv8/s320/music%2Btree4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675997584595482914" /></a><br />Take your elmers glue and keeping it light, swirl a bit on the FLAT END of your "branch". **REMEMBER THE CURL NEEDS TO FACE AWAY FROM THE TREE.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h24vk4V5oqo/TsUxuU-DpmI/AAAAAAAAA9A/dcHpdKOlxqc/s1600/music%2Btree5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h24vk4V5oqo/TsUxuU-DpmI/AAAAAAAAA9A/dcHpdKOlxqc/s320/music%2Btree5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675997577343116898" /></a><br />Be sure to have the curl rest on the table so you have plenty of coverage.

I used jute to add a bit of rustic/urban feel to it. Drip some glue from the top of the tree and spread it around the top down about an inch. This is the messiest you will get as it's best to use your fingers and wrap the jute around the tip getting glue all over it. It wil bond much better this way and I didn't even have to use something to keep it in place while it dried.....that being said, I didn't use excessive amounts of glue either or it would probably have not stayed in place due to being too wet.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wf6qhL5O0V0/TsUwiapmyGI/AAAAAAAAA6M/uYE3zHAVFJg/s1600/music%2Btree20.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wf6qhL5O0V0/TsUwiapmyGI/AAAAAAAAA6M/uYE3zHAVFJg/s320/music%2Btree20.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675996273197893730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ZoRm8IpKgM/TsUwiQ_uqiI/AAAAAAAAA6E/918lWG5BpV0/s1600/music%2Btree21.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ZoRm8IpKgM/TsUwiQ_uqiI/AAAAAAAAA6E/918lWG5BpV0/s320/music%2Btree21.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675996270606330402" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ay97GnxvIQ/TsUwiN2O2PI/AAAAAAAAA58/Rm7vRdvqYZc/s1600/music%2Btree22.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ay97GnxvIQ/TsUwiN2O2PI/AAAAAAAAA58/Rm7vRdvqYZc/s320/music%2Btree22.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675996269761190130" /></a><br />There, I hope that explained it well enough to make you want to try it.
