This flannel went through both my boys and little girl. It's one of the perks of having boys first. The hand-me-downs, as long as they aren't raggedy by then, can usually cross over to the little miss! I always have grand ideas of upcycling clothes and so I stash piles of them for those "someday projects". But let's be real. I absolutely suck on a sewing machine. That's my mother's expertise, but she lives 500 terrible miles away! But this one, even I could handle!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnYy5W6shMtj_yIOlMWmtrL6MmvYN-24ty3el7ts01DVIRbFzXKynDGzWOAwQW6YG8hwFZ2p4i83RPH07rVx67rALcQmzbTs3746ZmWf04y8IGfXL4LjHDVXP-AbKccSnZOxP6B3pw2c7PK4ByzmzxLFTD8hnSrdGDI7pdhdHlE5ce6dkLHT2Zy8DJopi/s1123/flannel%20and%20plain%20tee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="919" data-original-width="1123" height="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxnYy5W6shMtj_yIOlMWmtrL6MmvYN-24ty3el7ts01DVIRbFzXKynDGzWOAwQW6YG8hwFZ2p4i83RPH07rVx67rALcQmzbTs3746ZmWf04y8IGfXL4LjHDVXP-AbKccSnZOxP6B3pw2c7PK4ByzmzxLFTD8hnSrdGDI7pdhdHlE5ce6dkLHT2Zy8DJopi/w640-h524/flannel%20and%20plain%20tee.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cut a heart shape out of the back of the flannel shirt and then added little slits to make it have a distressed appearance.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The key to covering imperfections? Distressed! Then nobody notices the less than perfect project.

Now, I've had three kids. Nobody wants to see a shirt that doesn't cover "that". Nobody.

Wrong. Gray? Wrong. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you have a green paint that you would like to tint to be more of an "olive", "army" or "sage" green, you add some red! Trust me, it works! I think for this one I started with a John Deere green, added some dark gray, and little tan perhaps and the magical ingredient - RED barn paint!

They blend in with the black walls and also the objects on the shelf would hide the hardware if they didn't hang down. We had to cut off the end because it curved up and they weren't the right size. Nothing a black sharpie couldn't fix! Just colored in the cut edge.

I loved the idea of using it for the back after holding it up and seeing the uniqueness but I was afraid others wouldn't go for it. After searching for a few minutes and finding nothing suitable, I decided the painting was the way to go! I used my miter saw to cut it down to size. I have discovered the hard way that it's never a good idea to cut anything other than wood with this powerful tool... but this was thick enough that it didn't cause me any more gray hairs and actually cut nicely.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQafysXyWuQYt8MBs0EOVyWsOAaRTsF8HlSpt-ghrqZlSXDMynBephxtwlzNpGlnhMfdO3whc0h3aO3PvC51062UZatnO-P4_jW67BYSOpfDbM42OIgh_3JsMdB7Yf7JKkFbcCciL_bL-7VkO669xwsu123oGnuZso0-xZbWrKLeETaJ4DiQ14T6V1Vg/s1151/painting%20chop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1151" data-original-width="928" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQafysXyWuQYt8MBs0EOVyWsOAaRTsF8HlSpt-ghrqZlSXDMynBephxtwlzNpGlnhMfdO3whc0h3aO3PvC51062UZatnO-P4_jW67BYSOpfDbM42OIgh_3JsMdB7Yf7JKkFbcCciL_bL-7VkO669xwsu123oGnuZso0-xZbWrKLeETaJ4DiQ14T6V1Vg/w516-h640/painting%20chop.jpg" width="516" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Darn.

I did not measure anything exactly and I made two so our family could also try it! Both my guests and those in my household loved it so I tried to scribble out how I made it on paper quick so I could share it with you all! One thing about an egg dish is that they are very forgiving. You can change up the cheeses, spices, and meats and make it your own! The dill and cream cheese is what makes this one have exceptional flavor!

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A couple weeks ago I got the impulse to paint the light aqua blue walls in my formal living room black. I told my mom to calm down, it would be OKAY. I told my nieces that no, this did not mean they should buy me goth wear for my birthday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I do lots of things on impulse. A couple days later I made the big nine mile drive into town, convincing my daughter to go with me, and we spent a whole three minutes pouring over all the paint chips Lowes had to offer before we settled on Corduroy Black by Valspar. I got two gallons in satin, gave my big beautiful blue piano away (replaced with a used Clavinova) and we started painting the next day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgkBBDEy5h0gvaXg_WH8WcABOZKJHMg-RnHlUMe6Fs8E2j2uCWW5VdNseDELGA0_DsrGkL5vd3li2BWbQbaohRRmg76cvG62yUtHwDp-RRmt8evNEbY1LXZh-lus889p2nvJ1bNnMBkCDcA80oh43scY4JctR4ZhkXXv2wu0vcKC-u4v5loO5NvOlqK5Q=s880" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="880" data-original-width="880" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgkBBDEy5h0gvaXg_WH8WcABOZKJHMg-RnHlUMe6Fs8E2j2uCWW5VdNseDELGA0_DsrGkL5vd3li2BWbQbaohRRmg76cvG62yUtHwDp-RRmt8evNEbY1LXZh-lus889p2nvJ1bNnMBkCDcA80oh43scY4JctR4ZhkXXv2wu0vcKC-u4v5loO5NvOlqK5Q=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Tori liked painting the first few hours. But these walls are bears to paint. We're talking grizzly, not cute little smoky mountain black bears. It was obvious when I shared my progress photo why people thought I was painting stripes! Nope, not stripes. You just have to use a paint brush to paint in ALL. THE. GROOVES. Twice, since one coat didn't quite cover. The thick paneled walls may be pretty but seriouslyyyyyyyyy.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibs2uUyYEwaHjWHtIFZ_LtFqGJN6uKPQbZVZQwYMVxWQRqbUbQJ8SMXpmKD2w5JZBEO6wh1PxGhK27ngoKYLJRIu5YklM7Oh56iODTVlgO0psGHM-QkVvtfxJBWPVDd3ErPC5sC3fkL0LV_LRGLiiz6BgJI0cTnkj_qsm_f24_FZB3ORky55OL5X58Vg=s1275" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEibs2uUyYEwaHjWHtIFZ_LtFqGJN6uKPQbZVZQwYMVxWQRqbUbQJ8SMXpmKD2w5JZBEO6wh1PxGhK27ngoKYLJRIu5YklM7Oh56iODTVlgO0psGHM-QkVvtfxJBWPVDd3ErPC5sC3fkL0LV_LRGLiiz6BgJI0cTnkj_qsm_f24_FZB3ORky55OL5X58Vg=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Shall we just skip right to my boat load of "after" photos now?

It was half the price of my other option and shipped the next day. Enter my lack of patience and hubby saying why would you buy the more expensive one when this one is fine?? But sometimes you just don't know until you see it! The description said ivory and light gray, but it gives off more of a light blue vibe. Not what I was going for. There's still a chance I can roll it back up and ship it off to Amazon... but my hubby is extremely annoyed at the idea. Eek.

I have no idea what that means. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUnnTOAbyYQPAhTFBKqj5e4Lk6CSs2TKntwwKO-jYq4DyIwXoiupA3eUdEsH1_5LwrdBpV8Tlh5jOwGdmGYMP66JP5gpr-xzoL8svkTdXyiRnSuBaj3Jl1LXIFZ5VNcNFdJCQhR6dLsRvYxViKVI9JGLF9vlDEfOwcdpJWcMAlm4E5HAPj6unDTcyNBA=s1539" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1539" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgUnnTOAbyYQPAhTFBKqj5e4Lk6CSs2TKntwwKO-jYq4DyIwXoiupA3eUdEsH1_5LwrdBpV8Tlh5jOwGdmGYMP66JP5gpr-xzoL8svkTdXyiRnSuBaj3Jl1LXIFZ5VNcNFdJCQhR6dLsRvYxViKVI9JGLF9vlDEfOwcdpJWcMAlm4E5HAPj6unDTcyNBA=w530-h640" width="530" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for stopping by!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'd love to see these photos on your Pinterest boards - biggest compliment I could receive!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/parmaantiquemall" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJdSAqsPZt-LC1LOHV6aCUgNoRGTP932cdLOgYjzpnUfv0mTPoGhmkn0eEnk6OgZ4YDxBlnjorWWc_W2QOQUU65-GF28-BwdhyphenhyphencyH4z0iE72Smg5VW6QBPyUaBT95Z7_KhyjikFkQ4TI5/w200-h200/image.png" width="200" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 16.8px;"><span style="line-height: 16.8px;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Like what you see?

text-align: center;">So when Doug from the <b><u><a href="https://www.facebook.com/parmaantiquemall" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Parma Antique Mall</a></u></b> (who has a large variety of Dixie Belle Mineral Paints and products for sale) asked me if I would try the upgraded SILK line and share the results with you all, I said sure! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I chose the color BLACK SANDS because years of experience has taught me that neutral colors sell!! I used to paint a piece orange and it would bring in the comments alright but nobody wants an orange end table in their living room. And annoyed me would think "well I know it's wild, but it's SO COOL! Can't ANYONE step away from their monotonous white or black? It's called a conversation piece! Everyone, please stop being so lame!" Well, yeah, I don't really take my own advice. Neutral furniture abounds in my home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjimqBdmOv0n4oMIWSKLzIZoTnAIPYoYrsbPVv5hdb76EHyxyzrAtuDFfskTfTVbBFTjM5ripAhbLzwNSM-qJxVd32oUWS0D4ALVTWIvjx4sF-cKcDjlVLFeNaxMwVaIDxPUY4psi3KqtdJxg9yeJEXJI9FsbEU7SZ7uzt7xnDXb7tTQWYv6V1JjBVHqg=s1135" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1135" data-original-width="941" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjimqBdmOv0n4oMIWSKLzIZoTnAIPYoYrsbPVv5hdb76EHyxyzrAtuDFfskTfTVbBFTjM5ripAhbLzwNSM-qJxVd32oUWS0D4ALVTWIvjx4sF-cKcDjlVLFeNaxMwVaIDxPUY4psi3KqtdJxg9yeJEXJI9FsbEU7SZ7uzt7xnDXb7tTQWYv6V1JjBVHqg=s320" width="265" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So Silk boasts that it has a built in primer and top coat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I learned after my projects that the primer is more for coverage than adhesion. So a light sanding is recommended. Or if you hate sanding, you can use a Dixie Belle product called Slick Stick. Though I haven't tried it yet, you're supposed to be able to paint anything with a "slick" surface after applying it - even glass! So of course, I learn through experience, not research and/or other people's mistakes. Haha. As far as the coverage goes, if something does happen to bleed through, wait for it to dry (overnight is ideal) and apply a second coat. So let's talk about what worked and what didn't!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First up is this Lane Cedar Chest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJmx2BUZrMLIvWUn0_TRy5cE1lqVhG91Ahvw5gouvvOce_548PHc56X89AO8sO872iM3Ne6bnTRyH2R1E8nfYRnRLMIXc6EMPvLtZGQHxJdfM52aEGza4TaYJgNvns3X1SPstQZJ2EUYNOOR4Rn4NlwpbVbbcjH8b0m3z92fqm533DEApImHnVs8l2lw=s1275" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="941" data-original-width="1275" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiJmx2BUZrMLIvWUn0_TRy5cE1lqVhG91Ahvw5gouvvOce_548PHc56X89AO8sO872iM3Ne6bnTRyH2R1E8nfYRnRLMIXc6EMPvLtZGQHxJdfM52aEGza4TaYJgNvns3X1SPstQZJ2EUYNOOR4Rn4NlwpbVbbcjH8b0m3z92fqm533DEApImHnVs8l2lw=w640-h472" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had already sanded the daylights out of it because I thought I was going to refinish the whole thing.

And there I sat... waiting for inspiration to hit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">About the same time I got the Black Sands SILK mineral paint... I saw some cool three-tone pieces someone had posted on Instagram.

I recommend using a Dixie Belle paint brush or similar soft brush. It dries from the top down, so give it time to dry (even if it feels dry) before your second coat or it will mess up the nice finish. It is a thinner paint than chalk paint but covers well. You will need to do a second coat, but that should do it. I just love how this piece turned out! The off white was something I already had on hand (a mistint) and I used walnut Restor-A-Finish on the wood. And to think I picked up this chest for $5 at a yard sale! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh8VaFaK1cj85Awx9fZzA8LZ41r4GjnnfYgMHqZXUzpAEAZwfaBtY8fHKrqQkWbN_Td3n12FqoO25CVTIomPwF3GzYeRhdg51hwxuSXnwHcdK7O2Xn7uRRBdeUHYKEQmOfzhS0LFlTIqPiOP5h62j5b6cih445Rf9troTPOUiLE5UG4KqklvOUktbLVBg=s1275" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh8VaFaK1cj85Awx9fZzA8LZ41r4GjnnfYgMHqZXUzpAEAZwfaBtY8fHKrqQkWbN_Td3n12FqoO25CVTIomPwF3GzYeRhdg51hwxuSXnwHcdK7O2Xn7uRRBdeUHYKEQmOfzhS0LFlTIqPiOP5h62j5b6cih445Rf9troTPOUiLE5UG4KqklvOUktbLVBg=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This next piece was an antique baker's shelf. Now this one didn't have quite the outcome I was hoping for, but it's also my fault. It had a shiny wood surface and here's where I decided the built in primer should be good enough and I skipped the sanding. My bad. Should have researched what other's experiences were! The paint went on well, and I waited to apply the second coat... but even after it dried, the surface still seemed to scratch easily. Remember when I said the primer was more for coverage than adhesion? Well here we go. I figured if I let it sit a few weeks it would be fine (30 days cure time is ideal for any paint) but time didn't seem to ease my debacle and I had a barn sale coming up that I wanted to sell this at!

text-align: center;">My tween daughter had suddenly decided her adorable antique white vanity that used to be Grandma's just wasn't for her anymore. No amount of convincing arguments that it was the perfect piece for her bedroom was persuading her otherwise and she was constantly googling white desks and vanities. Are you kidding? A kid of MINE is wanting to buy a NEW piece of furniture? That crap that's made out of pressboard? Surely not. That's when the idea of building one customized just for her using these two castoffs hit me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">About a year ago, I drove by these on the side of the road. They were sturdy and solid so I tossed them in the trunk. Inspiration wasn't hitting, so they sat in my workshop taking up room with the thirty two other pieces of uninspiring furniture. I thought originally they were nightstands, end tables, or maybe even the sides of an old vanity that used to have a mirror in the middle. But now that I look at the before and after side by side... they may have actually been part of a desk to begin with! Unless the original owner steps up and makes their voice heard, I guess I'll never know!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqgE8PyvspnqXRpF8m8WKEtqwXIMYhZfYzFRiHux-fKjUdC4W6DFZTYJ0qgVePlIs7SB12ivD3fE43XMjGjtZ6lPOPTDYIqSDgRzfi-9ERZC9k56msOPz0zDNPkJHotBiprPRBLtXkeWA6/s1723/Resized_20200814_160428.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1723" data-original-width="1456" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqgE8PyvspnqXRpF8m8WKEtqwXIMYhZfYzFRiHux-fKjUdC4W6DFZTYJ0qgVePlIs7SB12ivD3fE43XMjGjtZ6lPOPTDYIqSDgRzfi-9ERZC9k56msOPz0zDNPkJHotBiprPRBLtXkeWA6/w540-h640/Resized_20200814_160428.jpeg" width="540" /></a></div><a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());"><img alt="Pin It" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.clickinmoms.com/cmprodaily/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/pinit.jpg" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAhk_DJ8g-a8iSTM-0YBnYkMfJIWGHbvMtANaPAW20h0VQvVSp7tTTOL3zopYxn0Lz4lTHc1YehLgjwg49KSIPRiVA_3q0vpQCDHpMer-7Rw1TJg24BvTt9Axx8COYpbvspOz6qzWbaWc0/s1619/Resized_20200814_160419.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1619" data-original-width="1456" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAhk_DJ8g-a8iSTM-0YBnYkMfJIWGHbvMtANaPAW20h0VQvVSp7tTTOL3zopYxn0Lz4lTHc1YehLgjwg49KSIPRiVA_3q0vpQCDHpMer-7Rw1TJg24BvTt9Axx8COYpbvspOz6qzWbaWc0/w360-h400/Resized_20200814_160419.jpeg" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the "wet rag and hot iron" method to try to get the rest of the peeling veneer off, but it was crazy stubborn.

Not just any stencil, but the silhouette of my home state - Michigan! Sorry Iowa, you raised me well and I will always love you, but I've made the switch to Michigan girl. Anyways. Ohhhh, guys. I am like Heywood Banks looking for subjects to sing about. The possibilities are endless. I mean, he sings about foreheads being on fire, flies landing on a cow pie before landing on your potato salad, and my all time favorite Heywood song - TOAST (ask me to sing 'toast' for you sometime. I will). But instead of subjects for music, it's subjects for my new MICHIGAN stencil customized just for me by <b><u><a href="https://www.lazerdesigns.com/" target="_blank">LAZER DESIGNS</a></u></b>. Nothing is safe from getting branded with the shape of Michigan. A chair seat? Vintage suitcase? Old Vase?

In fact I'd go so far as to say I hadn't had that much fun since the day the rats ate my baby sister. Which is actually a Robert Bloch quote, who I'm not even familiar with, and if you must know the rats didn't eat my baby sister. Just her little finger. My sister is alive and kicking. She kicks especially hard when I eat more than my half of the chicken sandwich we were supposed to split. Or when I talk to strangers too long in public. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqj6jm21LaJp3UrAvbqUENWnMhI6W7_wZLdchzNSpxqdO8eJnN1_uQRlNgh9byy-MJctWKZwgCtPrLLBEySKbnvG1jZEro4QrI08PrI6moQrtCsOroP8Zj1e9imx-jx3vTGBAk0XQ8VvQz/s842/20200808_152528.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="842" data-original-width="803" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqj6jm21LaJp3UrAvbqUENWnMhI6W7_wZLdchzNSpxqdO8eJnN1_uQRlNgh9byy-MJctWKZwgCtPrLLBEySKbnvG1jZEro4QrI08PrI6moQrtCsOroP8Zj1e9imx-jx3vTGBAk0XQ8VvQz/w610-h640/20200808_152528.jpg" width="610" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The great thing is, the town usually holds it's village-wide garage sales the week before "junk week" starts, so anything that doesn't sell gets put on the curb.

There was no way no how to get those top pulls off however as they were faux drawers and no matter what, I couldn't finagle my screwdriver back there. I didn't want to replace the hardware since I was totally digging the style, but they needed an update for sure. Look no further than Rust-oleum's hammered spray paint. Man I love that stuff. I woudln't normally spray hardware while it's on the piece but well shoot, I already told you I couldn't get these two off so I surrounded them carefully with painters tape and paper for the overspray.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzRtIMkjeDkkRgKclW_gYI6rXKOc2Gog6NVEa8SMCFwLlUmw9he1HhWscJg03LveaTuMrpbk-qcGt9vHMvS35ygm9LP9i4VMOHvWSdbF-0p5MPX8M7db5tH_npgXD11wASOWqZNd_l1NNW/s2048/20200816_143528.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1171" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzRtIMkjeDkkRgKclW_gYI6rXKOc2Gog6NVEa8SMCFwLlUmw9he1HhWscJg03LveaTuMrpbk-qcGt9vHMvS35ygm9LP9i4VMOHvWSdbF-0p5MPX8M7db5tH_npgXD11wASOWqZNd_l1NNW/w366-h640/20200816_143528.jpg" width="366" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzUBrhfI3ikAIf5a6ViO5hMYbqkKw5KXm9oXlp_Tfbkrj0d6315YOs0BTQlN7latXZuFn7nXdmRAi4744rjh4GX6clNlBv8R6TBVZj9eVOAQgKugcJoAPj5QDHNq2SsJbMhIIhQe5ReOW/s1698/20200816_143536.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1698" data-original-width="1459" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzUBrhfI3ikAIf5a6ViO5hMYbqkKw5KXm9oXlp_Tfbkrj0d6315YOs0BTQlN7latXZuFn7nXdmRAi4744rjh4GX6clNlBv8R6TBVZj9eVOAQgKugcJoAPj5QDHNq2SsJbMhIIhQe5ReOW/w550-h640/20200816_143536.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Before you ask about the paint color, because I guarantee someone will, don't.

If you're a local-yocal, go visit them soon and tell them I sent you. :)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAo4LS2n6a92BnEDCqnNAgnqRSCm3c8OdjZ2bhx8RBry-Jnn-R_xyd4j0ZvdPdM9cqqlvWC2T3yz7_ZBwoSvQw_wU6wVe1nyBWp9-j9kN6nMMH0XDKCY7Ov5nxxZVFCfk-0ZQK58g3St-i/s1513/20201209_151917.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1513" data-original-width="1048" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAo4LS2n6a92BnEDCqnNAgnqRSCm3c8OdjZ2bhx8RBry-Jnn-R_xyd4j0ZvdPdM9cqqlvWC2T3yz7_ZBwoSvQw_wU6wVe1nyBWp9-j9kN6nMMH0XDKCY7Ov5nxxZVFCfk-0ZQK58g3St-i/w444-h640/20201209_151917.jpg" width="444" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Like it?

If you google in "blond dresser" your screen will fill up with images of these - so there's that. I swear everyone's grandma had this set in one of her spare bedrooms. But it definitely has a greenish hue to it... kinda like when us blondies went swimming too much as kids and the chlorine turned our tow-heads to seaweed-heads. Iowa summers could be torturously hot and there was a summer or two when my mom must have just wanted our belly-aching to quit and would drop us off for the afternoon at the Parkersburg swimming pool - <i>if </i>we got our chores done. "Here kids, paint this hay rack and IF you get it done by lunch time, you can go swimming." To us poor kids it was better than... well just about anything.

text-align: center;">Every time I pull in my driveway with another load of <strike>crap</strike> treasures, my neighbor shakes his head and reminds me how I told him I wasn't going to say "yes" to any more furniture until I got rid of what I had. But how can I say no when someone says "You can have it, or it's going in the dumpster". What? What a terrible lonely way to die! Someone once spotted the glorious wooden piece of their dreams in the furniture store ad and spent their precious wedding gift money on it, knowing right where it was going to go on that shag carpet, storing the china they registered for at Younkers and will never eat off of. I can't stand the thought of something that once held crystal candy dishes about to be holding rat droppings and surrounded with rank poopy filled Pampers and moldy Campbell soup cans.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD0P09jm7SNQHryanuTP1uj71tBlNwpwc_SRWVVINlW9PR5dkjtc-o9QRIsUBwVASepbv1ShIGP9rrkmZ3dhDQZsfQnzUu3MwYNp7ZvDjfPQ2Y_BQSHgKrfsJj3UuEqt9Y1s-6vkuwXxA1/s1200/20201020_130820.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1126" data-original-width="1200" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD0P09jm7SNQHryanuTP1uj71tBlNwpwc_SRWVVINlW9PR5dkjtc-o9QRIsUBwVASepbv1ShIGP9rrkmZ3dhDQZsfQnzUu3MwYNp7ZvDjfPQ2Y_BQSHgKrfsJj3UuEqt9Y1s-6vkuwXxA1/w640-h600/20201020_130820.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I even practiced saying "no" in my head. Doug Moe was having one of his estate sales in the Estate Barn in Parma. He greeted me when I pulled up with a "Hey, you can have that piece for free if you want. Just need to get rid of it". I tired to say no. It looked bad. Real bad. I didn't want to mess with it. "Nooooo.....noooormal people, NORMAL people, would say no to that, but I'm not normal so throw it on my truck. And just like that, I knew I would <i>never</i> be able to say no to free furniture. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What I thought was mold around the bottom and creeping up proved not to be when I cleaned it and it just reappeared minutes later. I do believe something had splashed all over it that took the finish off so as soon as the wood would dry, the spots would just pop back up. I gave up. It was clean, so who cared. I painted it with a gray homemade chalk paint. Since I wing everything, I figured the solution to the awful top would just fall into my lap after I finished the bottom.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPN7MzkQnzYjBKiGU7g_RnfqKiYHqmnxKCQoYb4YMEzdkn3xU9aW6rvyrw1vd-bzajhqyPHmfgdDNySSPWUFlfgVAmCX59IpMrp-TlmnLNBwnKo4yTQmUDPHhextajtHByXMJjZ_37j-X/s1401/20201020_161114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1401" data-original-width="1238" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKPN7MzkQnzYjBKiGU7g_RnfqKiYHqmnxKCQoYb4YMEzdkn3xU9aW6rvyrw1vd-bzajhqyPHmfgdDNySSPWUFlfgVAmCX59IpMrp-TlmnLNBwnKo4yTQmUDPHhextajtHByXMJjZ_37j-X/w566-h640/20201020_161114.jpg" width="566" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It kinda did.

About a year ago. It took some serious brute force to get it up over the banister and into the upstairs bedroom of our Airbnb, but we got it in there. And then I promptly regretting not keeping it for my own house. It was LIGHT BLUE! VINTAGE! A TUFTED SOFA! What was I thinking??? But after all the effort of getting it into it's present spot... I knew the males on the property would have my head if I asked them to try to get it back out. (Click <a href="https://www.kammyskorner.com/2018/01/inside-gidley-station-before-and-afters.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see free sofa #1 in our Airbnb).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And then I got the following picture texted to me a couple weeks ago from my buddy Darin (Michigan Ave Antiques)."

I drug Shana out of her office a block away at Edwards Jones and together we hefted it into my truck.

Shana, maybe you should keep a coat at the office just in case this scenario needs to repeat itself!</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I had no idea where I was going to put it when I said yes to the lovely beast, but as I drove the one mile home it became clear in my head that it belonged in the "library on the landing" at the top of the stairs.</div><div><br /></div><div>Shall we have a look-see at the photo that was on Zillow of this space while it was in foreclosure?</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWO-6LGJC-gmHPwbtKwKtF9rPDpGEUIdOj0_FubdfFL-qO_f6Hs9ufHg5swZ2iVNHrCvFFSn96WGh0lfwxeTWkd8hE7m0KZOeu42wAbpUp9SdnfJ5EQR10d2ZnzDI9W9SWQujyensvS1h/s631/4d79b72b-b8eb-4412-aac7-8e9ac714ecea_631x631.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="631" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDWO-6LGJC-gmHPwbtKwKtF9rPDpGEUIdOj0_FubdfFL-qO_f6Hs9ufHg5swZ2iVNHrCvFFSn96WGh0lfwxeTWkd8hE7m0KZOeu42wAbpUp9SdnfJ5EQR10d2ZnzDI9W9SWQujyensvS1h/w640-h480/4d79b72b-b8eb-4412-aac7-8e9ac714ecea_631x631.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Nice.

But since I know there are some dudes out there.... I'll just stick to this repurposed hutch top makeover. Actually, after my mammo, I stopped at Saint Vincent De Paul because I don't know about where you live, but ours has a wickedly amazing library of used books. And they're only 94 cents each! I got a good stack that should last me awhile and to be honest, I'm trying to type this as fast as I can because that stack of books, my couch, and that huge fluffy blanket is beckoning me! Bet you didn't know I'd rather be reading than blogging... maybe that's why it's been a hot minute since I've been on the Korner. Someone slap me. I do not say things like "hot minute".<div><br /></div><div>This piece of furniture came out of a girl's barn and it had some serious dirt build-up!

While I have grandiose ideas for them, they've been sitting collecting guano (gag), cobwebs, and dust for years. So I thought, why not hack off the tops of a headboard and footboard (bedposts) to use for the legs? Since you can't see the back ones, they are just square, from further down the bedpost. Before you start with the "Oh Kammy, you are soooo amazing yada yada" stuff, let me put a stop to it real quick and tell you I commissioned my dad to put the legs on for me. I wasn't real confident in my ability to make them secure PLUS If I don't give him a job to do when he comes to visit me in Michigan, he will disappear on his bicycle without informing a soul and will be off to who knows where for the day. He'll roll in all sweaty and I'll ask him how far he went and he'll say something like "Well I was just going to do a quick 30 miles but I got lost and ended up in a town called Homer and then took the long way home....<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPOazU8PTvESvECle-NgxAQBfJqQcwXaSLfcMbKhOK6Ubr3x5sO4O8rb35uZxEUMOLZ0vDDmvLKgdrqA8E69cog24WPAvppGGeDM62BU3Uf5_uZLXzTjskE6YYemkm_bOa1sljUefgHE4L/s3024/20201114_131055.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2981" data-original-width="3024" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPOazU8PTvESvECle-NgxAQBfJqQcwXaSLfcMbKhOK6Ubr3x5sO4O8rb35uZxEUMOLZ0vDDmvLKgdrqA8E69cog24WPAvppGGeDM62BU3Uf5_uZLXzTjskE6YYemkm_bOa1sljUefgHE4L/w640-h628/20201114_131055.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes I have loads of outdoor storage but yes it was fulllllll to the max and I needed space to work on stuff for my barn sale. So I put this up in my bedroom and decided I'd get around to painting it after it was already in it's spot. That only took a few months to get around to.... procrastination Kammelation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So here's the finished product - A new bookshelf for the master bedroom for my growing stash and I'm also so thrilled to have this corner of my bedroom looking somewhat decent again! It's actually been my hubby's office area since Covid hit in March. With all the rooms in our house, did he really have to set up shop in our bedroom? I don't WANT to have to worry about all his coworkers hearing me sing "Killing Me Softly" at the top of my lungs when I'm getting dressed. Tim wanted to kill me a few times... and not softly!</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2b0Wh2DgozBpxAX4wsPh1zY0eRMN6k-lkt6D7-3G6rAPjjp0U-hs1z5lUzYtsL3X5huhFYzaBvzW47z32i3R4kzzTKZML25MlUlvLuo2nZM0Y5BIyxxu4NKI4PMSmoflLHszyd8Vgnh-V/s2048/20201210_152559.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1734" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2b0Wh2DgozBpxAX4wsPh1zY0eRMN6k-lkt6D7-3G6rAPjjp0U-hs1z5lUzYtsL3X5huhFYzaBvzW47z32i3R4kzzTKZML25MlUlvLuo2nZM0Y5BIyxxu4NKI4PMSmoflLHszyd8Vgnh-V/w542-h640/20201210_152559.jpg" width="542" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3609yo8iwQDSSbmqNdMD-JJ5ETcDePlIVKRVpk6p0VauZK9_1XQqTfF4Ps_KTtJjtSTz87FX5cWU2ODtqhP2XK3srQIe-0B5QsB7-eJOMae1KvLiDjqkYNmkoYchGLsgwc_ak6zBM-6Af/s1650/20201210_152609.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1650" data-original-width="1238" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3609yo8iwQDSSbmqNdMD-JJ5ETcDePlIVKRVpk6p0VauZK9_1XQqTfF4Ps_KTtJjtSTz87FX5cWU2ODtqhP2XK3srQIe-0B5QsB7-eJOMae1KvLiDjqkYNmkoYchGLsgwc_ak6zBM-6Af/w480-h640/20201210_152609.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It can't just be for books.

Like we're talking you want an almost DRY foam roller here, Pals. After dipping my roller, I roll as much excess paint off as I can in a separate container. An ice cream bucket lid or similar works great for this. You want to have to use some force to get paint out when rolling over the stencil. If you don't?

I have officially lived in Michigan longer than rural Iowa. I just used the term "dinner" instead of "supper". We usually don't eat too exotically around here because like I just mentioned, I grew up in rural Iowa and meat and potatoes is my grub of choice. Well, it still is. It's just that last night's meat happened to be slightly exotic - alpaca! I've always had great sources for meat so I don't have to buy it at the store. My friend just down the road has alpacas and they had this curly haired dude.... and well he's now slowly going in to our tummies. Trust me. I'm sad about it too. I would have much rather had him in my yard greeting the Airbnb guests... but instead he's in my freezer. We'll just leave it at that.</div><div><br /></div><div>So what on earth does alpaca taste like?! Here's my take on it:</div><div><br /></div><div>I would compare it to pork, minus the fat. Think venison compared to beef - super lean! This makes for a much dryer meat so you don't want to overcook it like I did the first time we tried it. That being said, you can also substitute this recipe for pork chops if you don't have a source of alpaca readily available. ;)</div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>RECIPE: Smothered Alpaca Chops</u></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>ingredients:</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>4 alpaca chops (steaks)</b></div><div><b>salt and pepper</b></div><div><b>1/4 cup ranch dressing (I used the olive oil ranch)</b></div><div><b>1 can cream of celery</b></div><div><b>4-8 ounces pepper jack cheese (or cheese of your choice)</b></div><div><b>rosemary and parsley</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Coat thawed meat in salt, pepper, and ranch dressing and lay in a greased 9x13 dish. Cover chops in cream of celery soup, lifting each chop with a fork so that some seeps under the meat for flavor. Slice the cheese and lay it across the top of each chop, or if you're using shredded cheese, just dump it on top. Garnish with rosemary and parsley. Bake COVERED with foil for 1.5-2 hours at 350. I uncovered mine the last 10 minutes. The extra sauce in the pan makes awesome gravy for mashed potatoes! Enjoy!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOguKlJOISFPLcfddnp08nqa6YO0crGmedX1N4nqAHTK7KeCUkvBUzNHofEBkAQD5f7moRjibIFYP1U12nbjFvdDiQk6PuqQVXDCnVfQpcjbUWJXOVPKacZ69wJJCEKLlOroJJljZpyL3/s1275/20200914_115705.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1190" data-original-width="1275" height="474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOguKlJOISFPLcfddnp08nqa6YO0crGmedX1N4nqAHTK7KeCUkvBUzNHofEBkAQD5f7moRjibIFYP1U12nbjFvdDiQk6PuqQVXDCnVfQpcjbUWJXOVPKacZ69wJJCEKLlOroJJljZpyL3/w506-h474/20200914_115705.jpg" width="506" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The recipe is for four chops, but I only used two.
