Evolution of a Table

This is the story of the evolution of one thrifted old sewing table. I took the antique sewing head out and have it displayed. First, I used it in my craftroom as-guess what? A sewing table.
 Next, it moved into the family room as an end table/all the tv junk table.
 Then I decided to paint it, and it moved to my bedroom.
 I tried to hide Bowie's crate under it, but the crate kept showing it's ugly old self.

Got a little creative, with some wood and lots of dowel rods and a little help from Hubby.

 So the crate has morphed into the reading table in my bedroom.
 There he is nestled in his cozy quilt and soft pillows.
 Added a cute knob and a little latch.
 There you have it. This is where His Majesty sleeps at night.
 "I like my new digs" says the interior design dog.

Wonder if the little table that could will change into something else? Not for awhile anyway. Lot's of new stuff in my Etsy shop. Will be adding more this week. Joining Tweak it Tuesday at Brenda's Cozy Little House.

Plates Over the Headboard

I think I finally finished the wall above my headboard. I found the architectural piece awhile back on Etsy. I love the way the curve follows the headboard curve.It looked a little blank, so I shopped my hutch and had Hubby help me hang up these plates.
I still need to tweak the bedding and pillows.
The 3 floral plates were given to me by my Mom. They have been in the family.I love the gold edge.
The 2 plates with the cute cottage are from a garage sale a long time ago. Here's the before...
And the after. Much better .I love using those plates instead of having them put away.
Had older sons birthday this weekend and I thought I'd show our birthday banner that I hang.
We use it for every ones birthday around here.
And as promised, here is the lone mushroom. I'm still on the lookout for more wooden bowls.
It's a good thing the Olympics are on, because it's way to hot to go outside. I've been hibernating and sewing and will share my progress soon. I'm joining Cozy Little House for Brenda's new party. Stay Cool!
