lovin little flags to celebrate the fourth.

I've picked these up for pennies at the thrift store.

                    this is my middles stool before.                      

...and here it is after.

 a bit more grown up, and

     it even matches the rug now.

a really simple slip cover made from an old blanket.

cute shirt, but I was dreaming of a light weight shirt to wear over tanks and such.

a few simple snips.

I didn't even finish the exposed edges.

not the best picture, forgive me- but you get the idea.

I know I will wear it a lot this summer.

pesky stains=new outfit

these leggings had a few stains low on the legs.

the white shirt did as well...

snip snip,

add in a pillow case,

and you have a new outfit!

the closet that wanted to be a bench

Living in a house built in the 1940's can be interesting.

We have a very tight front entry that had a closet we didn't use.

A few years ago we pulled down the door, and decided to build in a bench and hooks for guests.

Jeff and my father-in-law built it in a day.

I painted it, and it was done. 

The space still isn't any bigger, but it is better!
