SHaRi'S FRiDAy FAvORiTEs....

sorry, it took me so long to get Thursday's post-posted that I am a day late with Friday's Favorites.

~~~~~~~~~~

First of all, I need to explain a bit about this. I have gone back and forth for a while on what to do with this ugly florescent light over my sink. We tried to find a replacement, but it is wired so screwy that we couldn't find anything the right size. Bill offered to re-do the drywall and the whole bit, but I just don't feel like the mess right now.

This is the before. And.....

This is the after. I changed the valance to match the breakfast nook & hung one of my decoupaged prints from the ceiling. I am so pleased with the way it looks. And the print matches my border.........

Pretty cool idea, huh?? And didn't cost hardly anything.

See ya later.

SHaRi'S FRidAy FAvoRitES!

Today, I am sharing a couple of things that you might have seen before.........several months ago, I found this wonderful crock at the Rusty Bucket in Apex and have never done anything with it. It has been sitting in my extra room doing nothing! I was sitting at my computer the other day and decided it would be really nice in the foyer at the front door.

It's such a lovely crock and I would love to have a few more...anyone out there in blogland sell this style? I already had the greenery with little burgandy berries and it fits perfect in the corner.

Another little re-do this week came about with the trade earlier in the week with Rondell...

I decided to do the crock bench just for everyday for a little bit. It won't be long till I do it for Easter, but for now I want to show off a few of my other favorite finds....(Boy, do I need to paint the outlet cover, maybe this weekend and I'm thinking about painting the bench as well....Black, maybe???)

And finally, I have been wanting to do the top of my refrigerator for weeks with something a little different. This is what I came up with for now. Most of the stuff I already had including the decoupage print that coordinates with my border. The other treasures came from other locations throughout my house.

It actually looks pretty good in person.

That's about it for today...on a different note, we didn't get the freezing rain, but we did get the freezing temps. I had a really hard time getting my rear in gear today! Lots to accomplish this weekend, including getting over to the Market Place to take some new goodies! Wish you all could come and see!

Until next time.

Hugs,

Shari
