I was looking for a specific chair to do this makeover but it wasn't quite what I wanted. How can you argue with free though AND I also received another chair for free. She was just trying to get rid of them. YAY for me.</font></center>

As you can see, I also made some molds to add to the chair. They are from IOD and I used paper clay to make the molds then glued them onto the chair. </font></center>

I'm not sure I liked it like but it does add depth do it. Maybe next time I will put clear wax on first then the dark wax. I think you can control the dark wax better that way.</font></center>

The old seat had horsehair and I didn't want to recover it, I wanted it to be like Debi's.</font></center>

I did fairly well and it took me several attempts to put it together, but in the end, it's ok and I can live with it. BUT I still need to figure out the little gap under the front seat where it curves. </font></center>

I will leave that for another day. </font></center>

I'm so excited!! This little project turned out so awesome.</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
You know those ceramic egg holders you see in the stores and see on blogs!?</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
I wanted to see if I could make one! </span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Not ceramic of coarse, lol.</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
It is probably cheaper to buy one but I had an empty carton so I thought I would try it.</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
To start out with, you will need an egg carton.</span></center><center><br /></center>

My carton held 18 eggs and I cut it down to hold 6 eggs. You can make it the size you want but because I usually never have more than six eggs, this was a good size for me.</span></center>

Mine was similar to this one. </span></center>

I used the color Mint Chip from <a href="https://diypaint.co/" target="_blank">DIY Paint</a>. Then sealed it with Big Top from <a href="https://www.sweetpickinsfurniture.com/shop-online" target="_blank">Sweet Pickins</a>.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
I sealed it on both sides with about 3 coats. I will not be able to stick it in water but will be able to clean it out with a cloth in about 30 days.</span></center>

I painted a few pieces of furniture recently and have been working through them.</span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
My next project was this footstool my brother and SIL made me years and years ago.</span></center>

I do believe my brother made the stool and my SIL painted the clowns.</span></center>

Hey everyone. I hope this finds you safe and well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
Last year I pulled out several pieces of furniture and decided to clean and paint all of them. Well at least get a coat of primer on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
I have been working on and off with this grandfather clock. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
Remember these??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
All brown, some gold, and no character!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
At the time I painted it, I wasn't sure where to go with it but now I am done and want to show you!</span><br />

I painted this clock with a gray primer/paint. I have used this paint in my kitchen and daughter's room and loved it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">I would like to share a giveaway I won over at <a href="https://prodigalpieces.com/" target="_blank">Prodigal Pieces</a>. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">First off, what a wonderful blog! I love what Larissa does. She has such a wonderful imagination and can transform things into beauty. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">It has been a while and I was supposed to get this up a lot sooner. I didn't realize it was in November that I won this.</span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Anyway, back in November, I entered a giveaway at Prodical Pieces for a <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2228; text-align: left;">HomeRight Super Finish Max Extra and Medium Spray Shelter. I WON!! I was so excited!!</span></span></center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #1d2228;">I have been wanting one of these for quite a while and was debating on buying one. </span><span style="color: #1d2228;">Just let me tell you, I LOVE IT!! I had no idea how big it really is. A medium is huge and as you will see, it fits in the house, extra bonus!!</span></span><br />

I want to start off by saying I haven't made a New Year's resolution in years.<br />
When I first starting making them, I would always break them or never make them, so I gave up trying.<br />
I have been reading a lot about resolutions lately.<br />
I follow several bloggers that found a way to actually achieve their goals.<br />
So I decided to make some of my own and hopefully be able to follow through.<br />
<br />
Want to know what they are??<br />
<br />
And now that I have made a list of what I want to do, I am in the process of breaking them down to figure out how to achieve them and will fill you in as I go.<br />
<br />
So what is your New Year's Resolution or do you skip it like I used to do?<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I want to share a fun project with you.<br />Making your own little Christmas tree with wire coat hangers.</span></h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have to tell you a little story about how I started making these beautiful trees.<br />Years and years ago, my aunt Beth made these and gave 1 to each family member at Christmas time.<br />I had mine many many years and then my aunt Beth passed away.<br />My tree got old and started falling apart. So I decided I would make me and the rest of my family and friends these beautiful trees. I took it all apart and figured out how to do it. </span></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">Now you can too.</span></h4>

<span><br /></span>
<span>I start at the bottom and work my way to the top. You may want to start at the top and work your way down. </span><br />
<span>I first start by wrapping a piece of the pipe cleaner around the light cord and wire hanger and add a little hot glue to secure.</span></span><br />

<span>PLEASE be cautious of which end you have you plug.</span><br />
<span>Make sure the part you plug into the wall is at the bottom of the tree. (Ask me how I know, lol).</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>Next, we are going to add the garland.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>

I find the real cheap garland, you need more to hide what is underneath the tree. </span><br />
<span>So use your judgment on how much you'll need.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>So much prettier in person. </span><br />
<span>I hope that the instructions are easy to understand but if not, please feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer them.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>Now go make a tree. </span><br />
<span>Make two or three, lol.</span><br />
<span>This one took me about 1 1/2 hours to make with taking pictures for this blog.</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>The cost was $3.79 for the garland times 3.</span><br />
<span>The lights. Forgot how much but fairly inexpensive.</span><br />
<span>Wire hangers free.</span><br />
<span>Had the hot glue.</span><br />
<span>Pipe cleaners were inexpensive also.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span>If you make one I hope you send me pictures. </span><br />
<span>Don't forget to make it your own buy adding bulbs or other types of garland, etc.</span><br />
<span><br /></span><font>The size of the tree will depend on the size of your hangers.</font></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><font size="5">Mine was about 12" tall.</font></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><font size="5"><br /></font></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Cheryl</span></div>

<br /><font size="5">I also made it myself.<br />
<br />
Don't care for the gold chain but that is what I had at the time and I may be putting it a little higher. </font></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><font size="5">It is hanging from the ceiling because behind the shiplap is cement walls and my husband was afraid it would leak.<br />
<br />
We have issues with this wall and hopefully have fixed the problem but will not know until the next heavy and rain.<br />
<br />
Anyway, you are here for the sign, Yay!!<br />
<br />
First I bought the Farmhouse transfer from Sweet pickins <a href="https://www.sweetpickinsfurniture.com/product/farmhouse-rub-on-transfer" target="_blank">here.</a> </font></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><font size="5">It is a huge stencil so it will be a huge sign. </font></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><font size="5">Go big or go home, lol.<br />
<br />
I bought her milk paint in Pantry Door <a href="https://www.sweetpickinsfurniture.com/product/pantry-door" target="_blank">here</a>, the sample size for the frame around the sign.<br />
<br />
She does a tutorial on how to build this sign <a href="https://www.sweetpickinsfurniture.com/2017/03/diy-farmhouse-sign-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </font></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><font size="5">And the list of things you will need.<br /></font>

I love this paint!! It is awesome!<br />
If you read my last post <a href="http://downsprigglane.blogspot.com/2018/04/rustoleum-glitter-paint-frame.html" target="_blank">here</a>, you know that I won 2 quarts of Glitter paint from Rustoleum.<br />
<br />
So far I have only done frames with this paint. And the way this glitter highlights the details is amazing.<br />
<br />
It's hard to see the highlights but in person, they look fantastic.<br />

I cannot believe how time flies around here! Seriously, it's has been awhile since I posted, I'm so sorry.<br />
<br />
That said, I won a couple of quarts of *glitter paint* from Rustoleum! Yay me!!<br />
<br />
I will be honest, I am not a big fan when it comes to glitter. I like it but not love it if that makes sense.<br />
<br />
With that said, I was thinking of what I would paint with glitter paint when Rustoleum came out with a gold, silver and iridescent glitter paint. I put my name in and came up with a few things to paint.<br />
I <b>won</b> two quarts of the paint.<br />
<br />
So do you want to know what I painted and what the glitter paint looks like?<br />
As I said before, not a fan of glitter paint <b>BUT</b> I love this paint, seriously, <b>LOVE IT</b>!!!<br />
<br />
The first is a little frame I cleaned up. I have had this for years and never did anything with it. It's made of a heavy plastic. I used Rustoleum chalk paint on top of it after I cleaned it with a toothbrush and got the dirt and dust off.<br />

Then I added glitter paint to the raised design. I think it turned out great and now I am using it!<br />
I know it's a little hard to see the glitter. It is on all the projects. Guess I can't photograph them well! But in person it is awesome. It's not the big flaky glitter, it's very fine and easy to work with. I used about 3 coats on all the projects.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLO45A0LnQDToJCsHcQv22nRbASD815Zbsmtl4XNxVGvEyTAPyqWslJoqwHVGYnBkyPF_2MO3uwFdi43P0kle4z0oH-wtHZ2awSlmOd4exqYLXImdRH4-O1TxERbV4zh7hWZMHhglE9NY/s1500/Frame3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLO45A0LnQDToJCsHcQv22nRbASD815Zbsmtl4XNxVGvEyTAPyqWslJoqwHVGYnBkyPF_2MO3uwFdi43P0kle4z0oH-wtHZ2awSlmOd4exqYLXImdRH4-O1TxERbV4zh7hWZMHhglE9NY/w274-h410/Frame3.png" width="274" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

To keep this post short I will post the other projects separate!<br />
So what do you think? Doesn't it add another dimension?<br />

Tell me in the comments below if you would use glitter paint and where!!<br />
Have the best day!<br />

I cannot believe it peoples......<br />
<br />
This year we put up our Christmas Tree Tuesday, Nov. 29 and today we decorated our outdoor tree!!<br />
That is a first in history for me.<br />
AND to top that off.........I have all of the Christmas presents that need to be sent off, wrapped and on the way to the post office tomorrow.<br />
Haha, sorry, so excited that it's done and I have to pinch myself because I still can't believe it!<br />
<br />
This year we decided to go with an artificial tree we found at Home depot. Even my husband loved it, who is not a fan of the fake variety, lol.<br />
It is from Martha Stewart Living. See it <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/Martha-Stewart-Living-7-5-ft-Pre-Lit-LED-Alexander-Pine-Quick-Set-Artificial-Christmas-Tree-with-Pinecones-and-Warm-White-Lights-TG76M5311L00/206770999" target="_blank">here</a>. And we got it on sale, which is even better.<br />
I was having my doubts when first opening the box but after working it over I like it.<br />

Well I am loving my counter tops, even though it was a total hassle! And I am slowly working on painting my cupboards but lack the want to keep going, but I will, lol!<br />
<br />
So, I am doing a product trail called LeakSeal with Rust-olem! It's a Flexible Rubber Coating which seals leaks and cracks instantly. It's water-tight and paintable.<br />
<br />
We have a basement in our home and it looks basically the same as the upstairs but where the kitchen would be downstairs is just and extended living area.<br />
<br />
We have two windows that set just at dirt level. These windows have leaked since we had a contractor put them in 20 some years ago. I have tried a few things over the years but nothing has worked. So they have had nothing around them and I have taken the frame of one window down a long time ago. Our seasons are pretty dry here but this last winter was very wet and we had snow on the ground for about 3 months, which is unheard of here. Anyways, it leaked again, going down the cement wall.<br />
<br />
When Rust-oleum was picking 50 people to sample their product, LeakSeal, I was hoping I would win and get the chance to try it! I did, Yay!! So this is about LeakSeal.<br />

I apologize but I hate seeing these pics and for ignoring the problem for so long. But I think we have a winner.<br />
<br />
I had to move everything away from the walls and then start sealing.<br />
<br />
First I received the LeakSeal.<br />

Since LeakSeal only seals crack and gaps up to 1/8" I had to fill in the rest of the window with other products. So after cleaning the area I wanted to put in Concrete & Mortar Filler & Sealant by DAP. But the gap size was to big for this product as well, lol, so I went with Quad Foam (window & door door foam. I had foam in the large areas but needed to fill more of the gaps.<br />

After all the foam was dry and the concrete sealer was dried, I applied the Leakseal.<br />
<br />
I only added foam where there were big gaps. Concrete sealer on each side and bottom. And I must mention that the two windows did not leak above the ground level.<br />

The product was easy to apply. Sprayed 1st coat on lightly and waited about an hour (only need to wait 30 minutes) then applied a 2nd coat. I loved how there were no drips AT ALL! It also dries to a matt finish.<br />
<br />
After I let this sit for a day, I tested it out. I ran a water hose outside the windows and let sit for about 5 or so minutes at full stream. After the water soaked in I went a looked at the results and the picture of that is above. I am very happy to report that nothing leaked. I am sure it helped with applying the other products too but in the end they all played well together.<br />
<br />
Next up I will be putting shiplap up on the wall. That is why I didn't care how it looked in the end, which is horrible. But now that the leaks are fixed I can move on to redoing the horrible downstairs basement. Stay tuned and hopefully I will finish it this sometime this month. The kitchen cabinets, well, that is another story. Hopefully soon.<br />

Our counters were in pretty good condition for their age. Along the corner on the left side were two cracks (don't know how they got there) but were there when I moved in. I filled the cracks in also.<br />

You can also see a hole, a stain and just the overall dirt where the silver bracket thingy meets the back wall. I washed the counters and back-splash with TSP. Boy was it dirty. Thought I was pretty good at keeping the kitchen clean so it was pretty embarrassing to see!</div>

So after watching how to paint kitchen counters by Paula at Heirloom Traditions on Hometalk, I took the plunge and ordered the Kitchen Counter Kit.</div>

Here I'm brushing on the primer. Just take the brush you're given in the kit and brush it onto the counter.<br />

This is how it looks when done. Notice I painted over the silver (thingy) where the counter meets the back wall.<br />

This is what it looks like after you take a brush and go over the top of the primer for texture. I just took the brush and dabbed it onto the primmer, kinda like a stipple effect (hope that makes sense).<br />

Here I am adding the liquid wax onto the primer. I found that by adding the wax then taking a rag and dabbing it onto the wet wax in little sections worked better. You can see the back splash already finished.<br />

After the wax is applied, add the gloss to seal it. You can see the texture in the phone on top!<br />
<br />
While I love the outcome of the counters, I ran into a few problems.<br />
<br />
1. When I put the gloss onto the wax with the brush, it would smear. When you take the rag and make the design on the wax, by adding the gloss it would take that design and smear it. I figured out quick that if I used another flat brush (not the one they sent) and went in one direction, it wouldn't smear as bad. I did wait for the wax to dry (4 days to be exact, still smeared). So that was lesson #1, lol.<br />
<br />
2. The gloss is not water proof. I let it cure the amount of time requested on the can and was careful to put towels around the sink. I had 3 coats of gloss on and it still would leave white spots and under Mr. coffee machine there was some water that had been left for about 5 hours before I noticed it and it had taken it down to the wax and primer. I was bummed.<br />
<br />
I ended up calling Heirloom Traditions and spoke with Paula. I guess it is not actually made for counters and she said that no product would withstand water for very long. Before I bought this kit, I had asked if I could clean it with 409 and if it would hold up to water and HT responded with a yes, so who knows. Paula did say that me and one other gal had this problem but no one else.<br />
<br />
One other note, the kit cost $89, which isn't bad, but because of the troubles I experienced, I had to buy more primer and more gloss because when it smeared and dried and gloss applied, I ended up sanding it back down to the original counters and start over.<br />
<br />
I ended up buying Min-wax clear polyurethane to seal the counter tops and so far it seems to be working.<br />
So far I had to buy the kit for $89, extra primer and gloss $99 and the min-wax was $9. Still cheaper than buying new counters but very frustrating it didn't work the first time.<br />
<br />
Would I buy it again, yes, BUT I would only buy the primer and wax.<br />

Hey Friends,<br />
<br />
I hope your weather is improving wherever you may be.<br />
Our snow has finally melted, Yay!!<br />
<br />
I have been working on several things and finally have finished two.<br />I am sharing one today.<br />
<br />
I bought this little blue dresser about a month ago for $25. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I should have looked at it closer, my bad. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-large;">After I got it home and finally started working on it, I found out that the drawers all needed to be realigned and glued back into place and it was cheap particle board. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-large;">That's what I get for not looking (who does that) just me, I'm sure, lol.</span><br />

Didn't care for the knobs but they would look good at feet on something... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
maybe a tray. And painted of course.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

My hopes were to buy short Queen Anne legs for it and make it the same height as our tall bed. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But realistically, who wants to invest a small amount of money for those legs if the dresser itself isn't worth it??<br />
<br />
</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div><span style="font-size: x-large;">
So I decided to paint it with the vision I started with <b>but</b> without buying the Queen Anne legs and would figure it out as I went, lol. That's what I usually do anyway if truth be told, haha. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyone else like that?<br />
<br />
So after gluing, repairing and getting new knobs, want to see what it looks like? Sorry for the bad photo!<br /></span>

I added the 1858 knobs from Hobby Lobby with a 50% off coupon, totally awesome.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
Had the stencil from a couple of projects ago, trying to get my money back on that. ;0) </span></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As you can tell I am not very good at stenciling so I sanded it to make it look stressed.</span></div>
