I missed it by one day, but I'm finally showing you my spring home. If you have been here before, you know I change out my colors for the season. I'm able to do that because my background is all neutral.</div>

I finally joined Instagram so come check me out. Just click on the camera icon on the top of the sidebar. I've been busy thrifting (not buying much) trying to control that, and getting the garden going. It's been super warm here. I hope you are getting some nicer weather so you can be outside. Happy Spring!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it took me long enough. Some of you guessed correctly-open kitchen shelves in place of the cabinet. Here's the before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqkM65E8YFTWggusvgNs5Z_f4kWj0csblKwYzhxxz997dTvRm_pRqf65kHDagr75yQSM47HeJXoGH-kiDlJ-GAUXgQXam-vi71CIPu0nJkHswDK1dlyzqanHW9ckyDtOEzDz9UMV3U6Gv/s1600/DSC01539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqkM65E8YFTWggusvgNs5Z_f4kWj0csblKwYzhxxz997dTvRm_pRqf65kHDagr75yQSM47HeJXoGH-kiDlJ-GAUXgQXam-vi71CIPu0nJkHswDK1dlyzqanHW9ckyDtOEzDz9UMV3U6Gv/s640/DSC01539.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
First, dismantle the cabinet and remove from wall.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsnuPI2SLse280QZm5IZgmIppdl4jd2lB3H72x8U0RFE8u55LTnGv_DshQ0PStsijhkS-yrtAMCgTGmElXRDElRU3Cp8op4EOcVxOw9d-c4S2JM5KgSpSHWnySxoDxWNfGqYxexbewSqA/s1600/DSC01554.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsnuPI2SLse280QZm5IZgmIppdl4jd2lB3H72x8U0RFE8u55LTnGv_DshQ0PStsijhkS-yrtAMCgTGmElXRDElRU3Cp8op4EOcVxOw9d-c4S2JM5KgSpSHWnySxoDxWNfGqYxexbewSqA/s640/DSC01554.JPG" width="404" /></a></div>
Then find out that the space left doesn't match the height of the wall texture,darn!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Repaint wall. Start painting brackets and wood for shelf. I used the same paint as my cabinets. Benjamin Moore Advance. Prime, paint 3 coats and cure.I love it, but it's a long dry time and a 3 day cure time. Waiting...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Start installing on wall and get to the last bracket and boom- it just splits into 2 pieces. Now what? Wood glue, joint compound, sanding, and repaint. Waiting...<br />

I also stitched up some hearts. I had 12, but Bowie got a hold of one and pulled the stuffing out. These were from the extra upcycled sheet fabric from the latest quilt I made.I think I'll make a heart garland with these.<br />

I decided to try my hand at fabric transfer. Here is my sample to check the size with my pillow form.</div>

Laid them out on my white canvas fabric I already had. I did run a test on a scrap piece, because I wanted a faded, aged look.<br />

Hubby and I have both been sick since the day before our youngest son left after Christmas. Hubby came down with it first and passed it on to me. A cold that has turned into bronchitis. Hacking cough and sleepless nights. In between all that I've tried to finish my little organizing project while being stuck at home.</div>

It's fun to go through stuff that you don't see every day. I got the set above from a garage sale years ago. She was a retired music teacher, so how could I pass those up?<br />

The file cabinet is in the office closet, so it's super hard to get a good angle, but take my word for it-I am using about 2/3's of the same drawer. That was about a 3 day project going through each file and getting rid of stuff and redoing my filing categories.<br />

Last post I showed this same bathroom cabinet. I purged and got rid of old and unused stuff. These little drawer shelves fit perfectly under the sinks with the plumbing.<br />

Each year after the holidays I am ready to get going again. I am forcing myself to show you this shot of my master bathroom under the sink. I am ready to organize and get rid of some stuff. I will show you the after when I get it done. I thought I'd start with an easy doable project. I plan on revamping our home filing cabinet. I am cleaning today while making 10 bean soup for dinner, because it finally got cold here.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"> If this is your first visit to Brookhollow Lane, my style is cottage, vintage with a little farmhouse thrown in. I love adding thrifted vintage stuff to my house. I love adding little touches here and there to turn my house into a cozy home.</span></div>

I kept the decorations pretty minimal this year. The house is smallish and I didn't want it to feel cluttered, especially when my boys come home and are hanging out.<br />

On to the little breakfast area. I switch out my seat covers to red check in December. Four thrifted red and white stockings hang at each chair.</div>

A view into the kitchen. I just add a few touches of red and a vintage tea towel. Gotta keep it pretty clear, because we do tons of cooking over the holidays when the boys come home. Joyeux Noel was given to me by my Mom when she went to Paris so I hung it on the pantry door in honor of son's first homecoming from Montreal. (Microwave over stove just died-trying to decide on a vent hood).<br />

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. I hope you did too. Before I get to Christmas I want to share the last of my morning glory before it gets cold. You're probably sick of seeing this, but I am so in love with this. I started in the spring with seeds. I germinated them in a wet paper towel until they sprouted. Planted them against the fence.</div>

It has pretty much spread out and covered the lady bug. It's still blooming-purple, pink and white flowers. I'll miss this so much in the winter, but plan on planting a few more in the spring.<br />

When son was home for Thanksgiving he made a pie crust to use in an ad(he's a graphic designer. He cut this out with an exacto knife. and baked it on parchment paper. It was the top of a pie to be used for pie day. I thought it came out so pretty. So delicate.<br />

Just a quick post before the holiday this week. Progress on the dust ruffle-it's finished. I probably would not make this again. SO much fabric made it really hard to work with. I am happy with the finished ruffle, but buying it would have been so much easier. We ended up buying the headboard. I'll show more on this later.</div>

I'll leave you with a pretty picture. The light was coming through the blinds. There is Bowie in his "spot"-he lays on the back top of the couch and looks out the window while he sunbathes. Notice the doggie picture and the little white Scottie. Even the wood carving on the wood furniture reminds me of a dog.<br />

It is in the middle of a beautiful historic neighborhood called Fairmount. Cute historic homes all around. The store has 4 warehouses and takes up all 4 corners of a quiet intersection.<br />

It was originally a Piggly Wiggly Grocery store (the second one built in Ft. Worth.) Remember those?<br />

We spoke to the owner, and his Dad opened the storeover 25 years ago. He grew up in the neighborhood and told us about it.<br />

Across from the Piggly Wiggly was a pie shop. On the other corner (this houses the outdoor garden section of the store) was a farmers market.<br />

We went looking for doors. There were rows and rows of doors divided by the number of panels. They were marked by size on the edges. Lots of digging.<br />

I am trying to decide weather to make a headboard for the new king size bed out of an old door. So many to choose from. Or whether to buy a metal headboard. Decisions , decisions. I'll keep you posted. If you live in the area, you should check out Old Home Supply House. Definitely worth the drive!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We finally made the decision to get a king size bed. That decision took over 2 years of sleeping on a super old and super sagging queen mattress. We had it delivered and I knew our old night stands wouldn't work in our small bedroom any more. When son moved he gave this little piece to me. It sat in the garage all these months. Time to start switching. My photo editing program was giving me problems, so these aren't the best photos, but I thought I'd show you how I re-do a piece of furniture.</div>

I wish you could have seen and felt this. It almost felt like someone had added sand to the paint on the old finish. It was rough like sandpaper.<br />

So off it came with some stripper. I was planning on repainting, so I just wanted to get the ugly finish off. Stripping and sanding to get through the old varnish.<br />

I was wanting a rustic farmhouse look, so I left parts unfinished. I'm going to live with it for awhile and if I don't love it, I can always go back and paint. I added 2 Hobby Lobby knobs. This picture is not staged,(you can see Hubby's weights on the floor). I'll share more after we get some bedding, and a headboard. I absolutely love the bed and have been sleeping like a baby. The domino effect has begun, because now I have to see what will work on the other side of the bed. Does this happen to you?<br />

What do you think of the raw wood with the white paint? If I decide to keep it, I'll put some wax over it, but wanted to leave it raw for now, in case I change my mind.<br />

I love vintage and like to add something vintage or antique to every room. My colors are usually neutral, so I add in touches of orange for the fall season. I love being able to change out my colors for each season.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Warning-picture heavy post. This is my kitchen hutch. It sits in my breakfast area, I bought it at the thrift store for about $70 about 5 years ago. I knew it had good bones and with a little love I could bring it back to life. I added a new beadboard backing and trim, lots of white paint. I patched the original knob holes and added some vintage pulls that I had from another project. I have had so much fun changing out the hutch for the seasons and holidays. Here we go!</div>

Notice I had an extra set of brass pulls and knobs(from Hobby Lobby), so I started to change them out depending on the color scheme. The inspiration for the blue and green was the Vera tea towel from my Mom. Green with a touch of blue for springtime.</div>

If you looked closely you might have noticed I also redid the kitchen chairs. They went from red to white. That way I can change them out for the season too. I like to decorate the hutch a little different each time, even though I use alot of the same stuff. I hope you enjoyed my little hutch history. I love being able to pull out my vintage dishes and thrift store finds to decorate her.<br />
Be sure and come back next week to check out the Fall in Love With Texas Blog Tour. It goes from Oct 3-7. I'll be showing my fall decor on Oct. 6. Hope to see you there!<br />
Hope you are enjoying your fall season.<br />

P.S. It finally cooled down today-gorgeous fall weather at last!</div>

This is what it is like outside today in North Texas. 98 degrees! The sweet potato vine has gone crazy. I can't wait for the temps to drop-I'm thinking soups, chili, plaid blankets, cool nights and pumpkins.<br />

I've had this tea towel for ages. I think it was in a box of linens from my Mom. It was badly stained on the top portion that is off white. The colors and subject remind me of autumn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've been busy decorating and will have lots to show you in the near future. I've also been busy adding stuff to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/craftyles">Etsy shop</a>. It's still in the 90's here, so kind of a struggle to feel like fall. Hope you are enjoying nice weather. See you next week!<br />

I finished it! What a fun and easy project this was and I used up some of my recycled sheet stash. I machine quilted it.</div>

I used a delicate pink stripe sheet for the binding.<br />

And a pretty pink rose sheet for the backing. The only thing I had to buy was the quilt batting. It's so soft already.<br />

Remember the vintage hexie squares I showed you a few weeks ago? I experimented and made a mug rug.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I guess I got kind of carried away. I love bringing new life to these pretty hexies. Aren't they cute all strung in a row?<br />

Each one was hand sewn and made of different fabrics. The fabrics are from the 1930's or 40's. I made little mug quilts and added a backing and batting and then machine quilted around the edges. I'll be listing these in my Etsy shop later this week, so go take a look. These would make great little gifts or stocking stuffers. I know I'll be making more of these-so fun!<br />

We dropped off son in Montreal last week. Hubby and son drove up (3 day drive) and I flew up and met them. Hubby and I drove home together (another 3 day drive). That way son could bring his stuff and we didn't have to leave Bowie as long.</div>

Here he is, in front of the huge music building, where he'll be spending most of his time. We shopped and got him settled in his apartment, so not much sight seeing this time. It was so hard to say good-bye. I felt like I was in Paris or Europe. I can't wait to go back and see more of this city.<br />

I did get the upcycled sheet quilt top done. I also added a sheet binding. So excited about crafting right now!<br />

This cute plaque was included in a gift basket and was made by my friend Celeste at <a href="http://www.celestinamariedesign.com/">Southern Day Dreams</a>. She spoiled me on my birthday. So fun to have a blogging friend that lives close to me. I think it looks so pretty with the pale colors in the quilt top. I'll share the progress on it as I go. I'll be machine quilting-it's been so long since I made a quilt, I want to keep it super simple.<br />

I did get one hexie finished. I think I'll call it a mug rug. I sandwiched the hexie, backing and batting and sewed and then turned it out. I did a little machine quilting around the hexie edges.<br />

I'll be taking a blog break. We are taking our youngest son to Graduate school in Montreal. It's a combination road trip and flying to get him settled in his new school and new country. So excited to see Montreal, and the weather has got to be better then it is in Texas right now. See you when we get back.<br />

I started collecting <strike>hoarding</strike> vintage sheets awhile ago and have gotten quite a stack. I have finally decided to so something with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cutting 5" squares is easy and fun with the rotary cutter. It gives me a chance to look at each design as I go. Some of these sheets were from my Mom's house and I remember them.<br />

Here they are ready and waiting for my next project. I love all the pastel goodness-yellows, pinks, blues and greens. A quilt will be in the making around here.<br />

I also have had this lovely pile of vintage hexies that I found at a thrift store. All hand sewn-not paper pieced-so I don't know how she accomplished this beautiful pile of hexies from those lovely vintage prints. Each one is made of different fabrics and each is a little work of art.<br />

Trying to decide what to do with these. Not a quilt, because I don't know how I'd join them without paper piecing. Still thinking about that. I've been so excited about crafting again and it's absolutely too hot to do anything outside. I'll keep you posted on my progress. As always, I love reading your comments and visiting your blogs. Hope you are having a wonderful week!<br />
