mmmmm.... pie |
I wasn't looking for mittens, kittens, or lazy Susans.
Don't be jealous of this big beauty, but do be envious of her girth. Ms. Susan is a heavy 20" across. She gets that from eating pie.
You can laze a lot of goods on her top, 20" is a generous width.
Since I am still avoiding my dining room redo, I worked on this project by the dark of night. I think I'm an owl, meow-l meow-l meow-l. (Get it...the 3 Little kittens?)
I wanted a barrel-top-look so when Brawn seemed comfortable with no intention of moving, I asked if he would router some grooves in the top. I wasn't fussy about how wide or how far apart, just do it NOW. Please and thank you.
And while you're out in the
*I really did care and these were not what I envisioned but didn't think I should be too picky as I was being pretty bossy and he was clearly engrossed in Duck Dynasty.
I summoned the troops..... CeCe Caldwell, Annie Sloan and La Craie. The ladies stepped forward and for this project two sample pots were used as well as some pure white from Annie. Letters courtesy of my Cameo Silhouette.
The inspiration for the wording shall not be revealed. The reason for that is I preferred the original source and I don't want you to say to yourself, "self..... Bliss's rendition looks nothing like that". But if you want to stop over at MissFlibbertigibbet's and poke around, look for a really cool pie sign.
I had to go back and add all the white on the letters because I wasn't liking them without. I'll remember that next time.
When I was all done, this sad little kitten-owl had no pie.

I think I remember that sign from a Decor Steals deal a ways back...but I won't tell anyone ;-) The lazy susan looks great, and I'm glad you got SOME dessert out of the deal!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a super transformation.
ReplyDeleteYum. The lazy susan looks great too!
ReplyDeleteLove it...great makeover!!
ReplyDelete~Cindy
SO clever! i love the difference the routing makes! and i love your profile pic! :)
ReplyDeleteLove finding Lazy Susan's! The handles are a great idea!
ReplyDeleteBliss that looks FABULOUS!! I love the handles the hubs put on it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Now I want pie and a husband who routes, and a lazy Susan!
ReplyDeleteHa! Me too!!!
Deletewhat a great find and i love how your lazy susan looks now. love those handles!!
ReplyDeleterita
That is one heck of a transformation. Only you would have taken a boring lazy susan and turned her into a stunning susan :).
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is more impressive - your imagination with this project or the fact you were able to tear Brawn away from Duck Dynasty. In our house, if Dynasty is on, a certain male figure who shall remain nameless blanks out everything. Even screaming children and real, meowing kittens...It used to drive me insane but then I became impressed with his ability to totally focus on something. Wish I could do that...
ReplyDeleteWow what a great makeover! 1000 time better than before. Love the new patina and everything else about it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lucy. Did you know you are a no reply blogger? If you want help with that drop me a note and I will tell you how to fix it.
DeleteBliss
My husband's nickname is "Pieface" and today is "Pi" day...3/14. So this post is like Mary Poppins...practically perfect in every way!
ReplyDeleteI saw the original sign at Antique Farmhouse and LOVE yours! What a genius you are for having Mr. Brawn router the edges in it - I shall call you Ms. Blissful Brain! Seriously...I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your routerered Suzie and for 23 cents, sign me up for five! Great upcycle Bliss and fabulous lines Brawn! :)
ReplyDeleteOoo, fancy. And now I want pie to. I've wanted pie all day today beings it is Pi day.
ReplyDeleteNo way!! I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this! That transformation just blew me away.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely fabulous - HAVE TO MAKE ONE NOW -
ReplyDeleteHate that they're called Lazy Susan's - who invented that name for it anyway?
Going to call mine the Lazy Bliss..............
XOX
WOW! In the biggest way! Stop, stop, stop! I want to make things just that fast...Yes, it would help if I had a Brawn to do my bidding. Maybe that's my problem. That dessert ain't too bad either!
ReplyDeleteLiz
Really nice Bliss! While I'm not fond of the name "Lazy Susan"...... I really like your very creative turn table :) lol
ReplyDeleteLove it! You always make awesome creations!
Susan
love the lazy susan Bliss! I just found one of these in my stash last week. It's not near this large.... and I don't have a trim router... looks like I'll be doing something else with mine.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have someone to trek to the garage for you!
gail
Oh my word.
ReplyDeleteI want to find a Lazy Susan this big !
Fabulous re-do.
Rose
I love it. The routered grooves alone was a cool tansformation. Wasn't expecting the sign. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteMy group stared referring to them as lazy Fred's ~ just to be equal opportunity about it ;)
ReplyDeleteEither way, it's a lovely one for pies to take a spin on!
Thank you for partying with the Wildly Original Crowd.
<3 Christina at I Gotta Create!
Looks great! I like the routered top!
ReplyDeleteI love u're lazy and loled...a little cause I have heard you say lazy on yourself...cleaning spam out of my blog...and checking on my blogging BFF and this caught my attention and yes what is it about Duck Dynasty...my hubby too I don't get it...but love what he did and thinking when all the kids and grands are around how fun this will be...take care
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you have the only hubby that would miss a whole episode of Duck Dynasty to do your dirty work!! Quack, quack.
ReplyDeleteThe routering is a brilliant idea and makes Miss Lazy look like a vintage find! Our granddaughter was using my IKEA lazy susan as a sit-n-spin. At least it was used for something! Now if I could just get my not-so-handyman interested in woodworking.......
I'm indeed very jealous. Not only of your Susan, but also of your "on demand" skills you have with Brawn.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly fabulous!! The routing and paint job really make is sparkle!! (and those handles!) Now where are you using this beauty??? I'm sure that was sugar free brownie in a mug, right??? ;)
ReplyDeleteBrawn is a KEEPER! Your redo was fab and I loved that you used the Silhouette. I LOVEEEEE mine :)
ReplyDeleteHugs and keep the shovel handy :)
LOVE it!! You two make such a good team :) Did you make him a cup of cake too? Pinning of course...
ReplyDeleteHer girth is amazing and that new paint color really slims her! Now if she could just pass by that brownie in a cup!
ReplyDeleteKelly
You are the junking queen! I can't believe how fantastic that looks from where it started. It's so cute! I knew exactly what sign gave you the inspiration as soon as I saw it. Love your version. Btw, we are huge Duck Dynasty fans too. That show has surprised me how funny it is. I didn't think much of it at first, but now my whole family is hooked! We don't miss a show.
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty! I don't care if it's not what you envisioned... It is AWESOME!!! How you can take something and turn it in to something else that looks nothing like the previous something BLOWS. ME. AWAY. Now... I'm coming to steal it. Who cares that I don't cook... Who wants a pie to cover up that perfection anyway? (Poor Brawn... How did you dare interrupt his time with Willie and Si. You're so mean. LOL!)
ReplyDeleteAh-Maze-Ing!!! I would have never thought to route out the ridges. I must confess that now I'm coveting a router. I MUST HAVE ONE. Beautiful job my new friend : )
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend ~
Deanna
This is fantastic!!!! I LOVE, LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
I love that you have one in-real-life friend who knows baout your secret blogging life:)
ReplyDeleteNow I have the "any you shall have no pie" song stuck in my head!
That came out GREAT! Your little alteration of my sign worked perfectly!! Love it! And, yours was SO much cheaper too!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, I love the addition of the handles! When I went thrifting this week, I only found a "plastic" lazy susan...I left it there! Maybe I need to make that a rule here, I don't get desert or snack until I do something creative... I think I might get more done!
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same lazy susan, but it has sat all lonely like in the closet of doom due to lack of inspiration on my part. This turned out beautiful; the grooves really put it over the top & kinda got me swooning. I have to pin this for when I drag my poor girl out of her closet imprisonment. Thanks for the inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again, Bliss. I love it. Madly.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Fantastic job, Bliss!
ReplyDeleteDebbie :)
What a great project. I love the handles, but especially love the wording. LOL on the "ladies" stepping forward! You did a sweet job, and that's no humble pie!
ReplyDeleteInsanely gorgeous. And no invisible hands or anything. I need a router.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a great transformation, Bliss...you have wonderfully creative talent!
ReplyDeleteWell that is one fine lazy susan! Genius on routing the top. Now i want pie. Now...for breakfast. Guess your St. Pat's post will be up tomorrow huh?
ReplyDeleteI see I am not the only one who thinkings this is fan-flipping-tastic. I love the routing (yeah, keep him around).
ReplyDelete"when Brawn seemed comfortable with no intention of moving". HA. That's when I like to ask my Hubs to hang something heavy on a random wall.
Love this. Pinning and all that jazz.
Have a great weekend! Claire
Look at you kicking butt and taking names...THis thing is the BOMB! I saw it and knew I had to pin it...and realized I already had...Figures it was yours.LOL!!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!
Hugs
Karin
Love!!! you can fit a whole pie on it and take it to watch t.v.!!! I'm making handpies today. So excited!
ReplyDeleteYou always crack me up, and I am always amazed at your cleverness!! Just perfect, and I don't care what the other pie sign looks like, I love yours. But I love MissFlibbertigibbet, so hers is probably awesome too.
ReplyDeleteOh man! I have a couple of lazy susans and one was going to have a sign, but yours is SO much more amazing than even the one I had envisioned in my head. How cool are those grooves and those handles!!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! I love this! Everything about it is so gorgeously done. :)
ReplyDeleteWow its beautiful I love the writing you did. it would be great if you came and shared it at my party at

You forever continue to know-my-socks off! Love how all the painted ladies played together so well! Wonderful transformation.
ReplyDeleteAs always!!
You are the ONLY person in the world who would see such an amazing end result out of that old boring "before." Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love this! I would never have thought to take the router to it! It's gorgeous...I don't think I've ever said that about a lazy Susan before!!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Christy
another fabulous idea you've come up with, LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously could that have turned out any more perfect?! Would you like my address so you can ship it to me because I want it! LOL Thanks for linking up to ITS PARTY TIME. Hugs, Clydia
ReplyDeleteI love this bliss! SO great! Who needs pie when you have a gooey brownie in a cup? Yum!
ReplyDeleteOnly the most awesome lazy susan pie server ever!! Did you put down the pie long enough to dream up that routing idea? You must have cause it's brilliant. Way cool, Bliss, as always!!
ReplyDeleteThis turned into an adorable pie server! Very cute idea.
ReplyDeletexx,
Sherry
LOVE it! You should give Brawn props if he left Duck Dynasty to do your bidding. I wouldn't have. ;-) Seriously great job on this!
ReplyDeletexo

Love your lazy susan. i have an old one that could use some TLC Thanks for the inspiration! http://www.sewsweetvintage.com/2013/03/vintage-popcorn-chenille.html
ReplyDeleteYes indeed I am jealous of her girth. 20 inch lazy susans are enviable! Of course it does look better now! Those handles are just dandy and I agree you were being just a little bossy...
ReplyDeleteTerrific!!! I'm pinning it.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job!
Marvelous lazy Susan collection! Your hardwork with these kitchen organizers really did pay off. :)
