China Hutch with Chicken Wire and Decoupage Reciepes


SHABBY Vintage CHINA HUTCH

 a little bit Country, a little bit Chicken and a lot of Recipes!



I can't say this was easy, if you have any questions
let me know, 
I just had to add a chicken to the recipes!
All recipes came from a Norman Rockwell
cookbook!
 


All knobs, except top two, were painted and patina with
a burgundy/ red  touch of paint.
This picture does not show the detail :{  Camera for Xmas
Santa!!!



I had picked up these knobs in my travels, I thought they looked like
chicken feet marks on them?   Well I thought so, and the colors were perfect!
This was my inspiration for the knobs I painted.
 


finally, got a clear picture, and with
the iPhone for the above knobs!!
 great camera!
BEFORE
 
 
Two pieces, so it was stored backwards, hey, just
lucky to get it in the garage!
 


Ugly, but liked the circles, and I was going to save them for a future
project, maybe paint , who knows?   I told myself
to throw them in the trash!  So I did!
Well,
Darn, the trash man came already!  So they are GONE :{
I just know I will need them!???




i WISH i HAD TAKEN THIS PICTURE WITH MY iPhone!
When I  sweet talked the husband in moving it outside
for this picture,  I only had so much time before it went back in!
If you know what I mean!  I was lucky enough to run in the house and grab one
chicken item to put on the hutch!
No retaking now by moving it out again, sweet talk works
one piece, one time only!
 
TIP
I always save (in a baggie sealed tight) my last
used brush, foam brush or what ever I am using!See, I found a few small touch ups!
 I had just the right amount of
stain on the foam brush to fix it.  Honest, the brush will stay for days, especially paint, but poly no!

Until next time,

Shabby Coffee Table with Decoupage World Maps

Maps on My Coffee Table
After
 
and
 
 
Before
 
Do you see the glass insert?  The beveled glass was dark
in color, well, this wood not do, but world maps wood!
( spell check must have liked that, they didn't
even correct it! )
So I decoupaged on the flat side of the glass.
 
I love Claw Feet, not to mention the Curvy Legs, I feel lucky to have found this piece!
 
 
 
 
 

 
What do you think?  Do you like the Map
Idea?
 

COFFEE,  TEA,  BEER, OR  WINE,  I am ready for Worldly Conversation!

 Great Linky Parties I am Joining:

Shabby Little Table Redo

The Little Table That Could!


She is looking good now, but before was an outcast and unwanted!  She keep saying "I'm so dainty and cute, save me!"
She was sanded, painted, lightly distressed and her
top was saved!  see below!
After all the veneer was removed I put
Vintage textured wall paper on top.  Decoupaged and
varnished.
 
BEFORE
Yes, i DID MENTION HER TOP NEEDED TO BE SAVED!

My husband proudly brought her home from a garage sale
to surprise me, you can say I was SURPRISED!

 

 

Vintage Door Knob DIY

                         A Bouquet of Vintage Knobs


My Bouquet of Precious Door Knobs
I wanted to do something with my collection of Knobs.  This is easy, and I will tell you all the supplies at the end, first I want to share some photo's!

Do you see the keys I hung?
One very vintage & long key, all old, yes
more items I collect!
  



For now they will sit here in the entry way!

I plan to paint this Antique table on wheels, that
will be another post, still thinking of which color to use
and just how I want to do it?

Supplies
 4x4 untreated wood post, I cut 81/2 inches
Paint, poly, several round dowels cut to different lengths,
Vintage knobs, a few drawer pulls, keys, twine and
vintage door knob plates.

All I did was drill scattered holes on top of 4x4 for round dowels.  Painted wood block distressed aqua and also painted dowels green.  I only polyed the wood block.  Screwed on the plates, applied the knobs on the dowels, tied keys on with twine,  and happiness was mine!

Have a good day!
