Summer Projects

Wow can hardly believe August is half over!  I have been traveling to the South and onto Colorado to see all my boys and their families so I have been away for awhile enjoying the scenery and family. Now back to reality and I so much have missed blogging.  Since I've been back though I have been digging my hands in and crafting like a mad dog.  Here are just a few of the projects.

This is a vintage fan handed down from my grandparents that I had been visualizing after seeing an article in Country Living last year on custom fans to buy!  I  can do better and cheaper than that!! 

First I needed to take it apart, thank god for electric drills, especially on crusty nails!

Loving this Krylon copper color spray I choose.

 Voila!  Custom copper and black vintage fan!

BEFORE
I got this stool at a garage sale for $2.00.  It just needed an update to match the colors red and beige in my foyer.

THE AFTER
This project was so easy and took less than a half hour!  I had this material leftover in my fabric tub.  Took off the old material and placed  it on the new material and cut out my pattern.  Layed the material over the top and tipped it over to staple.  It's just that easy!!!!  With this much ease  I will probably change it out seasonally!!
