Much to Anthony's dismay, I love going to thrift shops, antique stores and especially YARD SALES and bringing home "junk". I enjoy taking something that was ordinary, ugly or broken and giving it a new and beautiful purpose.
Here are some of the craft projects I've completed over the past few months, I wish I did better with the "before" and "after"shots, but alas, I'm impatient and as soon as I bring home something unattractive I just don't want to look at it that way for a second longer!

I love anything that can be crafted out of Mason jars and have them all over our house! These cute DIY soap dispensers are in our kitchen and bathrooms.
these pots with our house numbers sit on our front porch were cuter before SOMEONE beat up my mini pot with the weed whacker! : ) (those mums aren't looking so hot either are they? ha)
I recovered this thrift store chair and turned this old window into a picture frame!
made one for my mom too!
burlap stenciled Christmas signs
mason jar lamps:
I covered the lampshade with burlap, and mom and I crafted and attached burlap rosettes
my attempt at Pottery Barn's Halloween chalkboard rocks
love turning cheap candlesticks and vintage plates into dainty dessert pedestals!
hanging chalkboard message board for Jess
the laundry closet got a fun makeover with orange STRIPES! also made some handy little labels for those random items that always end up in a pile in the corner, and turned a 10 cent wooden tissue box into my dryer sheet dispenser!
