Flynn & Malone Blanket Chest

This isn't a post about the process and products used for painting an old pine box and turning it into a blanket chest - if you want the how-to details about paint, wax and wood pieces to make one yourself, you'll have to stop back next time.

Nope, this post is about something more........

Once upon a time in sunny Southern California there were two Irish lassies.

Silver Mirror with Fusion Gilding Paste

I've decided never to buy anything new again.

Wait.... I decided that years ago, back when people looked at my creations sideways and probably rolled their eyes when I wasn't looking, as I hung yard junk on our walls.


I guess not everyone finds parts of a wrought iron fence or an old gate all that attractive.

Graphics Transfer With Citrasolv Spool Cabinet

Alrighty now.... for the past week I've been showing you how I transformed a pale yellow toy box into a fool the eye cabinet with fake drawers, and knobs made out of vintage wooden thread spools.

But I didn't show you the graphic that I put on the top.

Spool Cabinet Redo - Fake Drawer Fronts

The front of the old toy box that I converted into a better looking front of the old toy box, started out as recessed panels and ended up looking like a vintage spool cabinet.

Vintage Thread Spools Turned Knobs

At the beginning of the week I posted {here} about a blah old toy box I turned into a cute spool cabinet that happens to hold toys.

Even though the drawers are faux fronts, they needed knobs to lend some authenticity to it.

Sew What Did I Make?

I don't like to be a tease, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

If you're gonna get all bent out of shape because I don't tell you exactly what I'm working on, then quit reading right now and come back on Monday.

On Monday you will see how these pretty vintage spools of thread.......

Wood Spool Clock (s)

Ticktock.

Did you remember to Spring ahead and move your clock an hour into the future?

Or are you like me and still falling behind?

I've got a couple of clocks to show you that the time can't be missed due to their size.  You also have to have a wall big enough for hanging.

Baking With Bliss, German Chocolate Cake

I will start this post with my usual disclaimer * I am not a food blogger, I am a food eater*.

I cook.  I eat.  And I do plenty of both.

I do not enjoy taking photos of the steps involved to do either of those things, but sometimes when a recipe is worth passing along I've just gotta do it.
