In the midst of my many makeovers I managed to get another chair painted. Remember the one I painted blue? Which I love how it turned out.  I adore how the blue turned out. I have several of these chairs I use for various things so decided this one needed to be white for my kitchen. This poor chair was weather WEARY so it took a good two coats on it. But the white gave it some life. It was a dingy yellow by the time I got around to painting it. My Herb Box redo looked so nice sitting in my freshly painted white chair. Decided to make a small burlap wreath to add to my chair. I am happy with this cutie sitting in the corner of my kitchen. Serves as two purposes too. One is for holding my herbs and whatever else I want to put in the chair and should I need an extra chair for someone to sit in, out comes the box of herbs.  Remember the vintage corner hutch I bought at an antique store?  That girl took some work! I took the hinges off

(YAY)  Kitchen print I made and framed (will share soon)  500 other projects going on at same time! LOL! Just teasing on that 500 number!  So, to give me a break from KITCHEN I decided to work on my little wooden tote box that so many of you gave me ideas on what to use it for.  Remember this box? I paid 2$ for it.  Grabbed my trusty palm sander and went to work on it.  After I sanded the box and wiped it down with a damp cloth I let it dry good.  Then I printed on the computer t

LOL!  Remember my little bench I bought 2nd handed? I had the perfect spot for it in my kitchen. After I sanded it and cleaned it I gave it a good thick coat of "Pure White" by Sherwin Williams. When it dried I went back and touched up any spots I may have missed. Which I have been known to do. (Remember, I DISLIKE painting) unless it's a can of Spray Paint and then you best move cause I might paint you. Ha!     I wanted the bench to have a little distressed look along with a little chippy going on. I wanted to bring out the age of that bench along with a white-gray finish. So I grabbed a toilet brush and Light French Gray paint by Sherwin Williams. I dipped my toilet brush in the paint and shook of the excess paint. I then very lightly an

I went with daughter #2 and grandgirl's to Wild Adventures for the day while the girls were on Spring Break. It was a beautiful day. Weather could not have been more perfect. All I can tell you is Praise the Lord I had me on some good walking shoes! We had a fun day and this Nana was rode out, walked out and wore out. HOWEVER , I hung with these girls. I wasn't about to act like a wimp in front of these babies! LOL!   Another project down for the kitchen makeover. This recipe is my granny's biscuit recipe. She taught us early on how to make biscuits. My sister Mary can make them just like my granny could. Me? Somehow mine just never look pretty but they sure taste good. I decided to type the recipe out just like she taught us to make them. Hey, I do like those Mary B biscuits you buy and just slap them in a pan too! I added a free farmhouse graphic I found online and a cute gray frame. Granny's biscuit recipe will be display
