I finally grabbed my paint brush and mustard up the strength to finish this room knowing that, because of my Fibromyalgia , I would pay for it later and boy did I ever. But it was worth it ... to have this room done.</div>

It is such a good feeling when you pull of that blue tape, you know that the hard part is over. But as you can see that only lasts for a few seconds... till you realize, you have a huge mess to clean up and put away.</div>

The rest of the shelves are all functional . they hold things like hairspray, combs and brushes. The tripple basket organizer I bought a long time ago from a local craft store. The large one on top holds my make up and the tiny ones under it hold small necessities like nail clipper, files, tweezers and such. The bottom two shelves hold towels.</div>

We got a new medicine cabinet too ... no more tape holding broken shelves in place :)<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Hollyhocks</span></span></h2>
<h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Old-fashioned flowers! I love them all:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The morning-glories on the wall,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The pansies in their patch of shade,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The violets, stolen from a glade,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The bleeding hearts and columbine,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Have long been garden friends of mine;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">But memory every summer flocks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">About a clump of hollyhocks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The mother loved them years ago;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Beside the fence they used to grow,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And though the garden changed each year</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And certain blooms would disappear</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">To give their places in the ground</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">To something new that mother found,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Some pretty bloom or rosebush rare —</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The hollyhocks were always there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">It seems but yesterday to me</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">She led me down the yard to see</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The first tall spires, with bloom aflame,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And taught me to pronounce their name.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And year by year I watched them grow,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The first flowers I had come to know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And with the mother dear I’d yearn</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">To see the hollyhocks return.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The garden of my boyhood days</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">With hollyhocks was kept ablaze;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">In all my recollections they</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">In friendly columns nod and sway;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And when to-day their blooms I see,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Always the mother smiles at me;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The mind’s bright chambers, life unlocks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Each summer with the hollyhocks.</span></div>

Right Under my NoseI take approx 5 different herbs every day and a few others that I take once in a while , as needed. Well about a week ago I realized that some of these herbs come in nice glass bottles. They kind of remind me of the old apothecary bottles.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't this a great glass bottle ... made only sweeter by adding this darling butterfly label.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The old label pealed of pretty easy on this bottle... no soaking in water or any of that annoying stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope they all come off that easy ... because I plan on recycling every one of them:)</div>

I thought I would show you our latest find. It is this lovely vintage dress form.<br />

I took her home and dressed her all up. I would like to eventually find a vintage corset for her... but for now this will have to do.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure where her permanent place will be yet. What do you think ...do you feel that a dress form should be limited to a bedroom or craft room? I don't like to follow decorating rules ... so I guess she could end up anywhere:)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--hjheRXMDMY/UfLGDLkJboI/AAAAAAAAEew/XNLctG4uwNw/s1600/lamp+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--hjheRXMDMY/UfLGDLkJboI/AAAAAAAAEew/XNLctG4uwNw/s640/lamp+1.jpg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't sure I would really like them brown. I lived with them brown for a while ... and I was right ...I just wasn't loving them brown. I remembered a great lamp redo, done by <a href="http://www.fleamarkettrixie.com/2013/02/faux-zinc-lamp.html" target="_blank">Flea Market Trixie</a> . She did a faux zinc on lamps that were very similar to mine and they turned out wonderful. So I thought I would give it a try.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Qk9CpNrAdU/UfLGDJIbJmI/AAAAAAAAEes/MtbjsSHF7TM/s1600/lamp+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Qk9CpNrAdU/UfLGDJIbJmI/AAAAAAAAEes/MtbjsSHF7TM/s400/lamp+3.jpg" width="303" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sprayed them with a self etching primer in a dk grey. After they were dry, I added a little water in some white craft paint ... brushed on the watered down paint in one direction working around the lamp. I did about a two inch strip around at a time. Then I quickly wiped of the white paint with a paper towel. I repeated that all the way up the lamps until I was done.</div>

They were really easy to do and I love the way they turned out.</div>

I have been wanting to change the counter tops and back splash for a long time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well the back splash is done...counters...not so much yet:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of the tile we used... it is the same tile and grout we used in the bathroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you would like information on them go to the bathroom post <a href="http://etherealpluswhatilove.blogspot.com/2013/03/ruffles-and-tile-bathroom-project-part-1.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>

Above is one view of the kitchen ... the tile back splash makes such a big difference in the kitchen. To the left, on the lower shelves are some glass canisters that I used chalk board paint on ... so I could label them and I finally hung a vintage slate chalkboard that I found a while back. It is hanging on the side of the island...as if you could have missed it LOL :)</div>

Here in the $1 creamer ... again from the Christmas tree shop, is some juniper from my front yard. I have never brought the juniper in before. It is a very pretty green and seems to hold up well inside , in some water . Ok I will admit it , the olive tree is not real ... but I think its cute (mostly because I can't kill it:)</div>

Here is a third view of the kitchen. If your wondering what is behind the curtain ... keep wondering;) no no ... I am just kidding. It is my laundry room. I would like to eventually put frosted french doors there. I would eventually like to do a lot of things. Finish the painting in my bathroom, finish my dining room, replace the counters in my kitchen... you see where i'm going with this, not enough energy or money. Am I the only one that tortures themselves like this?</div>

The new floor is in and so is the new counter top and faucets. My last post was about the tile work...which can be found <a href="http://etherealpluswhatilove.blogspot.com/2013/03/ruffles-and-tile-bathroom-project-part-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I went with a light grey & off white checkerboard on the floor and a soft grey carrera marble for the counter tops. I will have better photos of everything with the bathroom reveal. I have to do some repair work on the walls ... because of some damage that was caused from removing the shower liner surround. Then I plan to paint the walls. So after the painting and some tweaking of accessories... the bathroom should be ready for its reveal. Here is a sneak peek of what I have planed :)<br />

The 4th day, window is in and the tiling around the window is done. We Decided to use the leftover accent tiles to frame out the window. In case anyone is wondering the tiles were bought at Home Depot. The white are United States Ceramic(US Ceramic) 3 x 6 Snow white. The Grout is POLYBLEND in Delorean gray.</div>

<br /></div>
Hi everyone I thought I would do a little post ... just to let you all know I'm ok and share what I have been up to lately. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kOCprXnVHMM/UQrIdw59svI/AAAAAAAAEQU/MKn-_p29iRA/s1600/dining+room+in+pro+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kOCprXnVHMM/UQrIdw59svI/AAAAAAAAEQU/MKn-_p29iRA/s400/dining+room+in+pro+1.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I finally got around to painting my buffet . I was going to paint it white, but then I decided to go out of my comfort zone a little and go with a blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you remember what it looked like before? Here is a reminder :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tT-TUB09lcY/UQrJkOHTCKI/AAAAAAAAEQc/W8LH6nJEwxk/s1600/dining+room+buffet+before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tT-TUB09lcY/UQrJkOHTCKI/AAAAAAAAEQc/W8LH6nJEwxk/s400/dining+room+buffet+before.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There it is in the back ... It looks so different now. If you remember ... the chairs have had a make over too since this picture was taken.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7cveOImhrXg/UQrKWSDnzNI/AAAAAAAAEQk/e0bllB7LtAE/s1600/fin+chair+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7cveOImhrXg/UQrKWSDnzNI/AAAAAAAAEQk/e0bllB7LtAE/s320/fin+chair+1.jpg" width="236" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so long ago that I started the transformation of the dining room, I thought it would never get done. And it's not ... not yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am happy to say though, that the buffet is done and the painting of the walls and trim is about 90% complete.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here is a sneak peek at the walls and a full view of the buffet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KPKYgbId7x8/UQrIaZbKmRI/AAAAAAAAEQA/I8tI2-phyRY/s1600/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KPKYgbId7x8/UQrIaZbKmRI/AAAAAAAAEQA/I8tI2-phyRY/s640/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope to have a finished room to show you soon :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some more pictures of the buffet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VK4krkGvSwM/UQrIaSUF_fI/AAAAAAAAEP4/9A7jUZ3plLc/s1600/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted+close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VK4krkGvSwM/UQrIaSUF_fI/AAAAAAAAEP4/9A7jUZ3plLc/s640/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted+close.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the same hardware to save some money ... but i think it goes really nice with the new color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dZb1mcza3hs/UQrIZ6tgzkI/AAAAAAAAEPw/E2DXMPXxHbI/s1600/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted+close+angle+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dZb1mcza3hs/UQrIZ6tgzkI/AAAAAAAAEPw/E2DXMPXxHbI/s640/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted+close+angle+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a little distressing with some sand paper and added a design on the doors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N8WrpXfiN8M/UQrIZy4P_LI/AAAAAAAAEPs/0B6jyN6EiIc/s1600/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+hand+painting+close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N8WrpXfiN8M/UQrIZy4P_LI/AAAAAAAAEPs/0B6jyN6EiIc/s640/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+hand+painting+close.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the design on the doors...by using a light grey paint and foam stamp. Then to give it a little of a hand painted look, I did a little coloring in with some green craft paint and some out lining with a dark grey craft paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Iyp0jectGNs/UQrIZwToNQI/AAAAAAAAEP0/09nEQX85Sb8/s1600/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted+close+angle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Iyp0jectGNs/UQrIZwToNQI/AAAAAAAAEP0/09nEQX85Sb8/s640/dining+room+in+progress+buffett+painted+close+angle.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this point I am really excited to finish the room... I will let you know as soon as I do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so glad you took the time to visit ... I hope you will come back to see the finished room :)</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">How is everyone on this lovely Sunday morning?</span>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4E-HWK_wFo/UEy4VVY7jiI/AAAAAAAAELg/cfE3GB4z23Q/s1600/purple+flowers+in+kit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4E-HWK_wFo/UEy4VVY7jiI/AAAAAAAAELg/cfE3GB4z23Q/s640/purple+flowers+in+kit.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just getting over some sort of summer cold or something. It started with runny nose and sneezing, then low grade fever... then ...then this miserable , horrible ,nagging cough. That cough just would not stop...I think Nathan thought I was dying. He was sitting on the bed reading a book, he threw his book down and said" that's it i'm going to wallmart to get something, you can't stay like this" He was down stairs keys in hand and out the door before I could even ask what he was going to get. I have only coughed 2 times today and I'm feeling much better. I'm hoping to be 100% tomorrow ...because I have a stressful week ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are coming on Monday to put in a floor in the attic and then on Tuesday and Wednesday they are going to start ripping my entire roof off ... sound like so much fun doesn't it :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure I will be thrilled when it is finally done:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi ! Yes this is me :) Where am I you might ask. Well do you remember Mine and Nathans "</span><a href="http://etherealpluswhatilove.blogspot.com/2012/08/our-crazy-day.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Crazy Day</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">" ...the day , we didn't have our camera with us? The day we passed fields of wild flowers,antique stores,chickens ... a vineyard... a sparkling little brook ... the day we found our post for our living room? The picture is me revisiting that day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nathan enjoyed our detoured ... scenic route so much that last weekend he decided to try and retrace our steps. This time I was ... prepared, with camera in hand :) would you believe we didn't see anything interesting. That is what I thought I was going to be saying at the end of this day ... after all this time I was ready... click click :) but, I am glad to say ... today I have the photo's to show you, that I didn't have last time . We didn't find everywhere ... and we found some things we didn't find last time and some places we just ran out of time for ... I kind of slowed things down with my picture taking:)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After leaving the gun shop we headed back towards home. We passed a lot of stone houses and stone barns. If not barns then some sort of large stone buildings. They were all so beautiful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we came across this lovely property and of course I wanted to stop and take pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This property had this great old house on one corner and across the street was a guest cottage and beyond that there was a small lake. When we stopped the car, a lovely woman and her teenage daughter, that were taking in the sun on the dock, shouted out ... to make sure we were not broke down. They were happy to let us take pictures and were some of the friendliest people I've met. Here is the wonderful old house situated among all the tall trees. Straight across from the house was this old shed type structure ... it was built right in the small hillside.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UNDW1mbW_y0/UDtsXEcxqpI/AAAAAAAADsY/TaLio1o4pkQ/s1600/famhouse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UNDW1mbW_y0/UDtsXEcxqpI/AAAAAAAADsY/TaLio1o4pkQ/s640/famhouse.jpg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a small retaining wall on each side of the concrete building. The building goes right back, built right into the hill. Pretty different:) I love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PIEjHtqgZT8/UDtsczXfZ1I/AAAAAAAADsg/QiyO2t-r92Q/s1600/famshedinhill1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PIEjHtqgZT8/UDtsczXfZ1I/AAAAAAAADsg/QiyO2t-r92Q/s400/famshedinhill1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a closer shot. There is a small wood door in the front. I'm calling it a shed type structure ... but I don't really know what it was built to serve as. I just think it is pretty cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PWqx_AOA9Do/UDtsdaXhPqI/AAAAAAAADso/hI2bUr7t8g8/s1600/famshedinhill2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PWqx_AOA9Do/UDtsdaXhPqI/AAAAAAAADso/hI2bUr7t8g8/s400/famshedinhill2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then when you cross the main road, there is the guest cottage. It is part built of wood and part built of stone. What a great little cottage:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just look at those windows and the sweet little shutters. Look at the hardware...beautiful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Behind the cottage was the lake... I didn't want to take pictures of the lake with the family down there... I didn't want to invade their privacy ... they were already so kind as to let us roam about taking pictures. Actually they seemed very flattered. I have to say ... they were the sweetest family ... I bet they have built many cherished memories there../ behind those wood and stone walls,under those tall towering trees and at their quiet serene lake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the last picture I took on the way home just before my camera battery died. This too is one of my favorites:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so these flowers are for you ... for taking the time to stop by and revisit our crazy day with us.</div>

I did 3 Projects ...The first cost around $5.<br />
It is my decorative apothecary bottles. I'm sure that a lot of you have done projects like this before and don't need instructions. But I thought that I would share the steps with those that may not have.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought 3 pretty little bottles from AC More... they were around 1.50 each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I printed copies of vintage apothecary labels. Before cutting them out I coated them with a thin layer of white glue, Elmers type is fine, If your using a thick white tacky glue ...you might want to thin it out a tad with water or a little BLACK coffee. The coffee will help add to an aged look... If that is what your going for. That is what I was going for:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the glue is dry (you can speed the drying with a hair dryer, if your impatient like me) cut out the labels.</div>

Spread a thin layer of glue on the back of the label... put a piece of paper or plastic sandwich bag under it ... so you can get the edges of the label good with out getting glue on your work surface. Position the labels on your bottle and let dry. If you started out with a black and white label <b>(</b>I'm out of colored ink :( <b>)</b> like me , there is one more step, if you want an aged look. If you printed in color and your label started with an aged look, give it one more coat of glue and your done. If your label started out black and white and you don't want the extra step. You can edit the labels on your computer and put them in sepia tone... if you know how to do that. If not or if your out of colored ink like me ...here is what you can do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you used a tacky glue watered down with coffee you can just add an other coat over the top of the label and when that is dry... use the pad of your finger to spread a drop of coffee over the label dabbing up and down in some spots, for an uneven and somewhat blotchy effect. If you don't have black coffee or if you used an Elmers type glue ... try this. ad a drop of dk brown paint in your white glue or a burnt umber color paint. Test it out on scrap paper and let it dry just to see if you have the right amount paint in the glue and to make sure you like the color it turns out. If it dried a bit too dark, add a little more glue to lighten it up. Too light, add more paint. You can age your cork stopper, by rubbing it with coffee or watered down paint.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When your done you will be enjoying your little apothecary bottles like I am. They can be used as little vases too. </div>

The second Project is my 80's framed print make over,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that cost me around $2 and some paint I already had.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1iH-q6V6_hE/UC0RbzpAvWI/AAAAAAAADBo/npPAeKWjg3Q/s1600/bird+print+wood+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1iH-q6V6_hE/UC0RbzpAvWI/AAAAAAAADBo/npPAeKWjg3Q/s640/bird+print+wood+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is kinda what it looked like before. I say kinda because I for got to take a before picture. So I took a picture of the print that was inside and added in print shop the mat and frame , that resembled the original.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WNNDCdFhVxU/UC0Soq24mGI/AAAAAAAADBw/KtQgkK8R_SQ/s1600/gold+frame+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WNNDCdFhVxU/UC0Soq24mGI/AAAAAAAADBw/KtQgkK8R_SQ/s320/gold+frame+pic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The glass was broke, the mat was dirty and the frame very shiny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with a little spray paint and some creativity ...I gave new life to an unusable piece of art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sprayed the frame and the inner mat in a flat black paint. I then sprayed the outer mat in a white satin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The piece of card board under the print I glued old book pages to as my backdrop. The same way I put the labels on the bottles(coat of glue on the bottom & and then on top after the pages were dry).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I took 2 wood cutouts that I got at the craft store for .99 cents each and painted them in a flat black and glued them on. To add my own little touch, I added the antiqued little tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The print is now displayed in my bathroom:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D1emF9-zepg/UC0VpNa8BjI/AAAAAAAADC4/9UWqshxiFX8/s1600/bird+print+wood+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D1emF9-zepg/UC0VpNa8BjI/AAAAAAAADC4/9UWqshxiFX8/s640/bird+print+wood+2.jpg" width="487" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is on the nail that was already in there... I'm not sure if I should keep it in there or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I do love how it turned out. If you have frames that the glass has been broken out and you don't want to spend the money to replace the glass. Frame something 3d like I did here. You can use old keys, scrabble tiles vintage buttons or jewelry. Just about anything you love you can frame and chances are you will love it when your done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last I did a paper lady project... that cost me $1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a graphic from the <a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Graphics Fairy</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ni_27-Xx9w/UC0Xk_vSVgI/AAAAAAAADDA/z8CQ498noz4/s1600/Paper+lady+w+doily.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_Ni_27-Xx9w/UC0Xk_vSVgI/AAAAAAAADDA/z8CQ498noz4/s640/Paper+lady+w+doily.jpg" width="486" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I printed her out on card stock... when I cut her out I improvised on the bottom of her gown and sort of cut a triangle shape from where the graphic ended. I also cut a spot over her head so I could punch a hole on her to tie ribbon or use for hanging. I used a Q-tip to put a little blush on her cheek and a little on her gown. I put 3 thin layers of tinted glue over her to protect her and stiffen her up. I also glued a flat wood stick on the back of her to strengthen her head and neck. Then she was done and ready for me to display the $1 vintage doily I bought on our crazy day out. That is what I made her for. I just folded the doily in half and then wrapped it around her waist. I think If you sprayed her with a little perfume she would be sweet hanging in a closet . She is hanging in my bathroom ... somehow all three projects ended up in my bathroom for now at least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there you go 3 projects... all made with a little paper n glue, all easy and all under $5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed them :)</div>

I bet they would look completely different. I kept saying to my self ... If I painted those lamps I bet they would be lovely. Well I finally stopped saying and started spraying. This was the end result :) Cute Right?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is where they started. Nice lamps, but a bit to dark for my ever changing taste. So I wrapped the cord and the socket up with tin foil,so paint wouldn't get on them and gave them a coat of flat black paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that was dry I gave them 2 coats of white paint. Then when dry I scratched some of the white paint out of some of the cracks, I really think the difference is night and day. What started out as dark lamps with burgundy shades ended up light and bright, ready for any cottage or coastal decor. Really I think they could work in just about any decor. I also thing they would look great with a burlap shade.</div>

Hi everyone! I am excited to introduce you to Kathryn From the Dedicated house. I was thrilled when I received her as my <a href="http://etherealpluswhatilove.blogspot.com/2012/07/monthly-button-swap-party.html" target="_blank">button swap</a> partner for the month of August. Kathryn is a lovely, creative wife and mother to an adorable little girl.<br />
<br />
<img height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-occrsDqKu5c/TgFWArNEqEI/AAAAAAAAABw/NKf7TRgAJ58/s400/griffin+114+4x6.jpg" width="266" /> <a href="http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h332/kleighfer/CherriesFotoFlexer_Photo.jpg" /></a><br />
One of the first things you will notice when visiting her blog (The Dedicated House) is the cheerful look. My grandmother used to tell me stories about when she was younger and raising her kids ,that she painted her kitchen all white and painted cherries around the top. That is what I thought of when I first visited. You can grab a little of that cheerfulness in button form, because Kathryn hosts a lovely link party every Monday. You can find the button code on her sidebar.<br />
<a href="http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="MakeitPrettyMonday" height="114" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-34rwXflBxZc/T9QhyqESPyI/AAAAAAAACCw/F_HXVlKX1bA/h120/MakeitPrettyMonday.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
You will see me partying there often:)<br />
I'm sure many of you know her , but for those of you that have never been over to visit her blog, I encourage you to go. There is so much to see... such as the weekly features from Mondays party,Room makeovers and creative projects to name a few.</div>
I really enjoyed the teacup room, an absolutely adorable bedroom for her little girl. The transformation on her kitchen cabinets is amazing.<br />

Well we had one of those days Saturday. What turned out to be a great day for photographs also turned out to be a great day for treasure hunting. Our plans for the day were to go to a small gun shop in which we have never been, to find supplies for an antique french rifle Nathan won on auction (I'm sure he will post more details about that). The shop was about an 1hr and 1/2 away but not to far from an antique store that we like to shop once or twice a year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8jvdB13Xk8w/UCBXaKsVkVI/AAAAAAAACNQ/wOaZrmRChUs/s1600/antiques+sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8jvdB13Xk8w/UCBXaKsVkVI/AAAAAAAACNQ/wOaZrmRChUs/s400/antiques+sign.jpg" width="303" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other than finding the supplies that Nathan needed and maybe something new at Hamies , we expected the day to be pretty basic. Little did we know we were in for an eventful day. The Garmin decided to take us the scenic rout and scenic it was. The first thing i noticed on our way was this lovely field of Queen Annes lace, surrounded by a lovely old wood fence. It was so lovely ...I said "tell me we brought the camera". Nope no camera. I told Nathan we will probably see more cool stuff just because we didn't have the camera. I was just joking, Little did I know where these back roads would lead. Shortly after we saw the field of wild flowers we ran into this amazing primitive antique store ... just from the outside we knew it was going to be way cool. I would love to show you pictures of the out side of the shop ... oh that right I can't ... we didn't have our camera :0</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess I will just have to settle on just showing you what I claimed as my own and brought home with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first two thing I shoved under my arm were these two old cutting boards ... I just loved them. Nathan Liked them ... but I don't think he was as excited about them as I was :)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSUl_5Cunuw/UCA2UC39_NI/AAAAAAAACLQ/qrKA2RTf0tc/s1600/cutting+boards+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QSUl_5Cunuw/UCA2UC39_NI/AAAAAAAACLQ/qrKA2RTf0tc/s640/cutting+boards+1.jpg" width="484" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aren't they great ... I wonder how many meals were prepared on these and whose hands did the chopping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although Nathan wasn't as excited about the boards as I was ...his eyes did light up when he spied a stack of feed sacks setting on an old rickety chair. He studied them all closely and then decided on this one. I think he made a great choice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There were many great things there. Amazing pieces of furniture and old doo dads. Most of which was a bit to pricey for us, but I am glad we did find these. Were really excited about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back on the road ... what more is there to see, we already saw an amazing field of flowers and Antique shop to add to our list of must returns. As we were driving we looked to our left ..."Look ... grab the camera... I see hills... there are vineyards over there" You guessed it... that's right no camera :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then we passed this lovely little brook and cows in the pasture. This is all because we don't have our camera...Grrr.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nathan loves ...loves...loves birds... chicken etc. After seeing all these picture worthy things ...Nathan says we better not see chickens. Not ten minutes down the road , what do you think we saw?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll show you ... here is a picture with my dinosaur of a cell phone.</div>

Chickens in the road no less :)</div>

Ok we finally found the gun shop ... with all the distractions we won't make it to Hammies before they close. That was ok with us the shop of primitives ... vineyards...chickens, we were happy. We went into this awesome little gun shop out in the middle of no where, the inside was full of amazing things. We left there with Nathans supplies and 3 handmade glass knobs,oil can, strong box and a beautiful powder flask. I didn't take pictures of the knobs yet but check out this flask.</div>

Just when you think the day couldn't get any better we drive through this little town called Krumsville , Standing in front of us is this old mercantile built in the 1860, Sitting outside were barrels and buckets ... things chippy and rusty. I didn't even have to say stop, Nathan was already pulling over. It was already after 5 so we rushed to the door to make sure they were still opened. The sign said open but the door was locked. Oh stink I thought. We thought we would look around out side just for fun. Oh my goodness... Is that a white chippy wooden post/pillar. That is gorgeous I thought. Nathan knew I always wanted to disguise the pipe running up the wall in our living room, Looking at an angle It appeared to be a half pillar. I told Nathan perhaps we could build sides and cover the pipe in the living room. Then I said what does it matter they are closed any way. I started walking away...Then I heard Nathan call out babe with some excitement in his voice. I turned around and he was holding the pillar, he showed me the back ... there was a curved channel running down the back. How more perfect could that be to cover that nasty pipe in the living room.This was meant to be. I said... are you sure the door is locked as I headed toward the door. I grabbed the handle ... thinking this has been to good of a day for it to end like this. I pushed the door...Yes its locked...why does the sign say opened ...did they forget to turn it. Ok one more time ...Just in case .I pushed again really hard. It swung opened. I turned to Nathan and said ...They are opened or ...I just broke in :0, as a little sheltie barked and ran toward me. Don't worry ...all is good. The door was just stuck ... the building was built in the 1860's after all :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He told me $8.00 for the post . I declared SOLD!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This party is a monthly button swap party. It works like this, everyone interested in joining the party will add their blog button. You will have 7 days to do so. When party closes, I will randomly select two blog buttons at a time & pair 2 partners up, I will post the partners that will be swapping buttons on my next post.(I will also feature some of the blogs)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Looking for another project to recycle old book pages, newspaper or used wrapping paper. If so , I have one for you today. Have you ever made paper beads? I have ... about 20 yrs or more ago. Wow do I feel old just saying that . Here is a pair of earrings I made today out of an old book page I had laying around and some hematite beads.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--f-IbaNO3eI/UBB-ELN0V3I/AAAAAAAABug/k_MayMavMR0/s1600/paper+bead+earrings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--f-IbaNO3eI/UBB-ELN0V3I/AAAAAAAABug/k_MayMavMR0/s640/paper+bead+earrings.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Here are the steps to follow to make the beads.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xH5hJyTyCMM/UBB-dnWEr9I/AAAAAAAABuo/Uzmhb3gP59g/s1600/paper+bead+tut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xH5hJyTyCMM/UBB-dnWEr9I/AAAAAAAABuo/Uzmhb3gP59g/s640/paper+bead+tut.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Print out a template on card stock or you can make one by hand if your good at that sort of stuff (figure 1). The widest part at the bottom should be no wider than 1/2" (this is what determines the width of your bead).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CKWX88emDcA/UBCACYyTmtI/AAAAAAAABuw/swvWtta4QXs/s1600/paper+bead+template.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CKWX88emDcA/UBCACYyTmtI/AAAAAAAABuw/swvWtta4QXs/s200/paper+bead+template.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use pencil to trace your template out on the paper your going to use (the thinner the paper the better the results)(scrapbook paper might not be a good option) newspaper and thin gift wrap(usually the inexpensive kind)works best.(be sure to use a spray matte sealer on your paper if you are going to use news paper or you will have ink everywhere) Your paper will look like figure 2 after you cut it out.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now take a hollow center Q-tip and cut one end off (you can use a coffee stir that is hollow like a straw in the middle if you don't have Q-tips with hollow centers). Using a white glue or decoupage, attach the strip of paper around the stick of the Q-tip. Start with the wide side of the strip, wipe the back of the paper with a thin layer of glue as you go. Keep the strip centered in the middle as you wrap around the stick. When your done , brush some glue or decoupage around the whole bead. It should look like figure 3. You can cut off the other end of the Q-tip and stick it in foam core, until it dries (see figure 4). (this is handy if you are making a lot at one time).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the beads are dry, cut the ends of the Q-tip flush with the beads on both sides. There you have your paper bead. The bead when dry is hard and more durable than one might think These make lovely necklaces, bracelets and earrings. They can add a personal touch to your homemade jewelry. How about saving the wrapping paper scraps from a daughter or granddaughters first birthday and using them to make a necklace or bracelet out of them to put away for her when she is older.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sure all you creative people out there can find many ...many ways to use them:)</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">OK</span><span style="background-color: white;"> lets start with the old and rusty, then on to 11 things you may not know about me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My kids have informed me that I post to many lame jokes ...so i will make no mention on the list about me getting old & rusty. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I have always had a thing for old keys. I'm not sure what it is about them. Like this collection I have sitting on the book bundle below.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AyXtraQlIHk/UA18Z1QCp7I/AAAAAAAABo0/HKA-qJFuit8/s1600/my+old+keys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AyXtraQlIHk/UA18Z1QCp7I/AAAAAAAABo0/HKA-qJFuit8/s640/my+old+keys.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you imagine what treasure, secrets or doors these may have opened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who's pockets they have been in, Who's wall they may have hung on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now they sit in my house and make me wonder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A little while back I found this old wood tray with handle at an antique store in Hamburg Pa.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure of what its original purpose was. I fell in love with its natural worn texture. Here it is below with some ball jars and other lil treasures of ours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here first is my youngest daughter Megan .. she enjoys photography and poetry and I am really excited to see her exploring her creative side and will do all I can to encourage her :) Here is a photo she took ... she titled it Bee-u-tiful and that it is.<br />
