White Wednesday

This wonderful metal piece followed me home after a very short trip
to the local Salvation army...

Rusty and weathered to perfection...

Lovely details....

Perfect for my wall...

Very hard to resist, I must admit!
But I'm not keeping it because...

I'm moving in a year, and stuff needs to go out of this house, not in!

But it looked so nice that I thought:
I could at least enjoy it for a few minutes,
take some pictures,
share it with my White Wednesday Gals
and later, like a good girl, put it back in the truck
and drive it to Country Roads...

It wasn't easy,
but I did it!

Now...isn't that the true, Mark!

White Wednesday

My Husband loves White Wednesday...
well,
...not exactly...
let me re phrase that...

My Husband would love White Wednesday if he knew what it was....

because since I participate in White Wednesday,

I have tackled and finished a hand full (or more!) of projects...

leaving enough space for him to park his car in the garage!

My Husband loves White Wednesday,
even when he has no clue of what White Wednesday is...

Thank you Kathleen for hosting!

Frugal Friday and recycled post!

My house has these niches on the wall...one in the downstairs den

and another one in the master bathroom (before picture not available, but I promise it looked just as ugly!), over the toilette, that for some strange reason the builder thought people will like....
Sorry Mr. Builder, but those niches need help!

I added some fake bead board to the back wall, metal brackets and a shelf, to transform the bathroom niche into a cozy spot to display a pretty collection of vintage bottles...

an old mirrored door to make it look bigger,
an antique framed print...(love the aqua and yellow shade of the wall together!)

and of course, some necessities...

The project cost me under $30, that qualifies it for Frugal Friday...
Easy and inexpensive transformation with lots of cottage charm!
Now, I just have to tackle the one in the den....but first, I will visit all the Frugal Friday Participants at
The Shabby Nest!

AND BECAUSE WE LOVE TO RE-USE, WE ARE RECYCLING THIS POST FROM YESTERDAY AND LINKING IT TO:

THANK YOU JEN FOR HOSTING!
(how's that for stretching?????)
