We took an old wooden screen door, took off the screen, sanded and painted it a funky melon color (to pull out the main color in her newly redecorated dining room to the right of the entrance way), put a mirror in the top half of the door, added cool funky fabric behind the middle spindles and the two bottom panels. We added 3 antique glass knobs for hanging purses as you enter the home and added 2 antique hooks near the top for coats. We mounted it directly to the wall and everyone who enters wants to know where she got the cool coat rack. If you want to see it, go to rebbecca becki bruce loar on facebook. It was a fun and quick project.... only about 2 hours and it is unique and fits her style. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1734#post-26710 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:49:38 +0000 dianeinthevalley 26710@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Hopeandjoy, love your wreaths, I've been looking for something to make for school. I made a banner out of old book pages and print "let it snow" across it. The maps would fit in nice with the pages. I know what you mean about "blog surfing"! I do the same thing! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1734#post-26709 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:56:52 +0000 hopeandjoyhome 26709@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I did some "new" upcycled candlesticks..<br /> <a href="http://www.hopeandjoyhome.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hopeandjoyhome.blogspot.com/</a><br /> I used vintage wood posts vintage hardware and vintage lamp parts. I tried a faux mercury glass technique (distressed mirror spray paint) that I THINK I found here..not sure. Once I start following links to blogs I will end up about 5 blogs down the road! The mirror paint was easier than I thought. Now I want to faux mercury glass more things! I did a verdigris technique that I think I found here too (3 parts apple cider vinegar 1 part salt) It worked pretty well but your brass has to be raw or have the lacquer finish removed first. The internet said acetone (nail polish remover) but my daughters had run off with mine someplace so I just sanded it good and it worked fine. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1974#post-26708 Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:43:49 +0000 hopeandjoyhome 26708@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Very cool! I have a shabby one outside too that needs new boards. Great idea! I think mine will have to remain an outdoor one tho as I have no more room inside. Love the belts.a new spin on leather! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1974#post-26707 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:09:18 +0000 Leveta 26707@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>That's pretty neat... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1974#post-26706 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:23:32 +0000 copperhead 26706@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I'm glad you shared that - I went curb side shopping and have one that sets with a lean. The wood on mine is pretty bad shape though. I'm wondering what all I could do to make it work. I like the color she painted it too. I just couldn't pass it up on the curb... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1974#post-26705 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:38:53 +0000 mcnaughton 26705@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>My niece found this wobbly bench at the curb and used thrift store belts to weave stability and style into the piece. I think the bench turned out wonderfully! I'm glad she let me share it with you.</p> <p> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1971#post-26704 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:41:51 +0000 huggybear38 26704@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p><a href="http://chintzycouture.blogspot.com/2011/10/tulle-pom-pom-tutorial.html" rel="nofollow">http://chintzycouture.blogspot.com/2011/10/tulle-pom-pom-tutorial.html</a> </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1971#post-26703 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:22:48 +0000 huggybear38 26703@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>As you can see our photo is not rotated..LOL </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1971#post-26702 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:22:13 +0000 huggybear38 26702@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Here is a tulu pom pom that one of the girls from work made from two yards of tulu.. this tulu was on a bolt not a roll and she folded it over and then cut about six strips that were approx.. 6&quot; wide.. and there is a site on pintrest that gives instructions..

They go really fast here, so I want to be "first in line".</p> <p>Since our barn sale is April 21st, this gives me a lot of time to "know it" from cover to cover. We like to use it as a reference to show folks what they can do by re-purposing the used items some of our vendors have for sale. </p> <p>Wish you could all attend our Country Gathering. We set up a big stage, with quality entertainment in the afternoon. We give away great door prizes, some in the $200. price range. We have a wonderful food vendor. Most bring their lawn chairs and stay all day. </p> <p>By mid-February, we will have the information for this year on our website. In the meantime, please go to <a href="http://www.blackstoneridge.com" rel="nofollow">www.blackstoneridge.com</a> and click on Spring Country Gathering to see what happened last year. </p> <p>The barn sales have been held and promoted seperately, in the past, but the spring sale will be held during our Country Gathering and will be on the website this year. We usually pull about a thousand folks during the Country Gathering. By combining them, we hope to pull several thousand.</p> <p>We are getting so excited.....guess it shows..... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1971#post-26694 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:15:49 +0000 hopeandjoyhome 26694@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I made those for my daughters' birthdays last year(or was it the year before?...time flies!). I always decorate the dining room for my kids BDays. They were easy to make and I did different sizes and colors. They both kept them for their rooms/dorm rooms after.I think I found the how to on youtube. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26693 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 16:29:11 +0000 Callef 26693@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Amen to that, sister!

It's been incredibly warm here in Tulsa this January. I don't remember one this mild. Sure, we've had a few cold days, but very few. It was in the 60's today and supposed to be 66 tomorrow. We'll probably get slammed in March after everything is blooming! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26688 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:04:14 +0000 SecondHandRosie 26688@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Yep, me, too. Valentine's and then commence with spring! (And then it'll snow!

This is one of the handful of exceptions to "no priming". </p> <p>Annie's Chalk Paint (ASCP) is not "chalk board paint", but three layers of her paint will make great chalk board. ASCP was specially-formulated by Annie to do more than just give a "matte or chalky finish". Once you use it, you will notice how much more versatile it is compared to latex or acrylic paint. In fact, we have had a few creative individuals paint leather, vinyl and cloth chairs. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26682 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:30:38 +0000 Callef 26682@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Thanks for the input, ladies! I'm on the same wavelength as DPumm - I think I will wait til Valentine's Day is over and then bring on the spring! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1971#post-26681 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:00:11 +0000 copperhead 26681@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>LINK PLEASE HUGGY...................... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1971#post-26680 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:28:09 +0000 huggybear38 26680@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I SAW ON PINTREST WHERE THEY MADE SOME TISSUE PAPER POM POMS AND THEY WERE SO CUTE I HAD TO MAKE SOME..I USED DOLLAR STORE TISSUE PAPER AND WITH ONE PACK YOU CAN MAKE SEVERAL POM POMS.. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26679 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:21:06 +0000 Leveta 26679@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I LIKE any and ALL think Spring things right now... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26678 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:35:03 +0000 copperhead 26678@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I'm thinking bird feeders and bird houses and seed catalogs and bird baths - I don't care if it has been a mild winter - I'm thinking spring - maybe a bird house with a heart on it - nah... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26677 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:13:51 +0000 Leveta 26677@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I love the look of the wood letters spelling SPRING with spring paper modge podged on them and hung together with small chains... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1970#post-26676 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:01:59 +0000 DPumm 26676@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I mix winter in with Valentines, give a couple snowmen big hearts to hold and set out everything that has a heart or is red. As soon as Valentines is over I bring in the spring. We are having a really mild winter in Missouri too, I've been wondering how spring sells will be. Last year everyone was ready for winter to be over and warmer weather to get here and I had real good sells on spring things like birdhouses, windchimes and suncatchers. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=1734#post-26675 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:05:03 +0000 copperhead 26675@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Those flowers have to be tricky to weld - by the time you'd get to the last one the first one would re-heat and fall off... </p>
