<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was no need for me to paint the walls before putting the shiplap up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Or in my case, "faux shiplap". I used plywood, and had Home Depot cut them down into 6" strips. A LOT cheaper that way!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the hallway leading to the laundry room. To the left is a closet, and to the right is the guest bathroom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We took down all the baseboards and trim around the house, and put in new, thicker, Farmhouse-looking trim. The baseboards all throughout the house are now 6", rather than the thin builder grade trim. Makes a HUGE difference!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To the left (the blank wall), we're building some mudroom hallway cabinets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So everything will tie together, and it'll all somewhat look like a <i>large</i> mudroom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I seriously can NOT wait to have this part o the house finished!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Real brick flooring was out of my budget, so I found an alternative.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I found this Spanish red quarry tile in this small 6x6" square.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was on clearance, because they only had a small amount of it left, and it was discontinued.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I bought all that they had left, went home, and asked my construction guy if he could slice it in half, to make it appear as though it were brick.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a bit difficult to photograph my Kitchen, because it's long & narrow, and I literally have almost every nook and granny filled with some piece of furniture. Also, I don't have much natural light coming through these windows.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took off the doors, covered the inside walls with bead board, added new shelving, and then trimmed it out. Now I use it for storage, and decor.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In October 2015, we purchased my Parent's house! We had been renting from them for several years, and during that time, we were able to become Debt Free!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While we were renting, we did quite a few renovations on the house, but because we didn't own the house yet, we were a bit hesitant to make any BIG improvements or investments into the house.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">(0kay, I guess knocking out the stairs, and replacing them with a spiral staircase was a pretty big deal for "renters" - ha ha))</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also while we were renting, my Parent's lived in the garage apartment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">About a week after we signed on the house, my Parent's got a place of their own, and moved out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By then, it was November, and I was busy preparing for the Craft Fair, and the holiday's, and this room stayed empty for a few months.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">January 2016 we "broke ground" (literally) on our new Master Bedroom!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Back when the garage was first converted into the garage apartment, the floor was never leveled. There was about a 4" difference from one side of the room to the other side of the room. I guess it never really bothered my Parent's, but I knew this was something I wanted fixed before we moved down into this room.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So a big part of our budget was just ripping out the existing tile, and having it leveled.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instead of there being a step-down from the Kitchenette, or a step-down when you walk into this room from the Living Room, it is now all one level.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the midst of Craft Show madness, and all the preparation that goes into that, we have <i>more</i> construction going on at our house!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That being said, you have no idea how EXCITED I am about this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ever since we took out our stairs, the Entryway wall looked very strange. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The thermostat was now <i>hanging out</i> in the middle of this 2-story wall, and the return air filter grille was also just randomly <i>hanging out</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We would have to get a ladder to change out the filter, or to turn the air temperature up or down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were also left with this light fixture that once hung above the stairs. It served no purpose anymore, and just looked odd sitting there.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...but that only worked so well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we would have guests over, you could see their eyes wandering. ha ha</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, above the french doors, there was supposed to be a "landing"??...just a place that I could maybe put a Christmas tree? Instead, it was a piece of plywood that we kind of just laid down temporary. It couldn't hold any real weight, but it also didn't really need to, because the railing was built around it. So once again, just another "odd" thing about the Entryway!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I guess that's what happens when you take out your STAIRCASE??!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With the holiday's coming up, I just wanted the downstairs FINISHED! After living here for 5 years, you would <i>think </i>it would be. I have a problem with always wanting "change". I have changed around my downstairs sooo many times, that I haven't even really started working on the upstairs yet!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you follow my blog, or you follow me on Facebook, you will know I LOVE DIY projects! In fact, we do almost everything ourselves!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We even did the stairs ourselves!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Problem is, here lately, I have been non stop with my business! I also have 2 Craft Shows coming up, and everything has been about that!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've had to put the DIY projects on hold, except, I really-really needed these things done before the Holiday's! We are hosting Thanksgiving! Whohoo! =)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started making a list a few weeks ago of everything that needed done, big and small, that I just <i>knew</i> I would not have time to do myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although, the Entryway wasn't something I would have done myself anyways!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For us, it's not always an easy feat to get furniture upstairs. We have spiral stairs, therefore, we must hoist furniture up over the banister.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had about 4 men + my teenage nephew helping lift the furniture to the 2nd floor. I had quite the enjoyment, just standing back, and taking pictures!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While doing so, we also re-arranged the kid's bedrooms. Our daughter moved to the <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2013/04/guest-bedroom.html">previous Guest Bedroom</a>, partly because that room was already painted in girlie colors! We felt like our oldest son needed his own room, so he went in the smallest bedroom, so that our other 2 younger sons could share the biggest room.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since the biggest room was once our daughter's room (that we never did finish painting), that ended up being the only room that we would need to re-paint.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Around this time, a really good friend of mine asked if we needed a bunk-bed set! I was ecstatic! Not only was she giving us the bunk-bed, but also the mattresses, and bedding that it came with! My 5 year old is so excited about the new desk that comes attached to the bed, and this is the first time my 2 year old will be in a <i>big boy bed</i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">(THANK YOU, Kelly! You have been such a blessing to our family!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Down below I created a mood board...</span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Neutral with a pop of Green!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I already have the pallet wall in this room, and the Sports bedding is going to go perfect with the Vintage theme I had wanted.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The walls are painted <i>Going To The Chapel</i> - Benjamin Moore</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">...and the accent green is <i>Irish Moss</i> - Benjamin Moore</span></span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I gave myself a few months to recuperate from the 2 craft shows I did last Fall/Winter. You can read all about that <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2014/01/craft-shows.html">here</a> and <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2013/10/preparing-for-upcoming-craft-fair.html">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In fact, for the past few months, I don't think I've made <i>any</i> pallet art at all! Instead, I've switched gears a bit, and I've been working on projects around the house.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're in March now though, and November will be here before we know it! I don't want to fall into the same predicament that I was in last year! Last year I started working on craft show pieces only 6 weeks prior to the Craft Show!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My plan is to start early this year, work on a few pieces each week...that way I don't have as many to make right before the Craft Show!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And what better way to get myself back into the groove of things again, then with this custom piece!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This piece measures about 41" x 32" </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Originally I wanted to buy 20 ft. of Rebar, but we couldn't get it home without cutting it at the Store.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apparently though, no one could cut the rebar at the Store. You would think they would have a tool for that, but they only had bolt cutters...that didn't work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So we left with no rebar, and I returned to another Store the next morning. No one could cut the rebar there either, so I ended up buying about 70 pieces of 4 ft. rebar! Lucky for me, the manager discounted them down to $1.00 a piece. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My Dad was for sure we could cut them down to 3 ft. with his 16" bolt cutters...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was able to cut ONE, but there was NO WAY we would be able to cut 70 pieces!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is me trying ((unsuccessfully) to cut 1 piece of rebar!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I installed the <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2014/02/faux-carriage-garage-door.html">Decorative Hardware to my Garage Door</a>, I was left with 1 remaining kit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been wanting to paint my pantry doors for awhile now, but it wasn't until I bought the hardware, that I knew what exactly it was that I wanted to do.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I applied 3 different types of paint to achieve this look...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used an Interior Glidden paint called TILLED SOIL</span> for the base coat. Then I brushed on some black chalkboard paint. I could have just used regular black paint, but chalkboard paint is what I had on hand. For the final coat, I used </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Martha Living specialty finish called HACIENDA. For the final step, I distressed the edges a bit.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Just a side note, the first 2 pictures below were taken with my phone...that's why the paint looks neon green. ha ha)</span> </span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the main reasons why I love this house so much, are the wooden walls throughout the living room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The problem is, it made the living room seem so dark.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been trying to think of ways I could lighten up the room, without losing my wooden walls that I love so dearly. =) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started thinking maybe I could leave the main wall that separates the kitchen from the living room, and then paint the other 2 adjacent walls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am a very visual person though. I need pictures to look at first, to make sure it's going to look okay in <i>my</i> space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I kept searching "wooden accent walls" for months and months, but couldn't find exactly what I had in-visioned. Then FINALLY, I came across this picture, and that was all I needed in order to make my vision come to life!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last night I was able to pick up all the supplies needed for the railing. We're not starting that project until next weekend, but we thought we'd get a head start, and make the cuts this weekend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can not WAIT to start!!! It is going to make such HUGE difference with the spiral stairs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is my inspiration:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(picture borrowed from Pinterest)</span> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWdP4Rv8BNTZ6xlUEdj4x8g6dhnnzOv19LQa_aMLcUN3OjIMI1o7k4R64zx01Aix4ucWis3_qbTT0ySWYc7MSXIcSiWiGuvjM5Kw2p3t8iewZ9CnwEv_B1U2E7_bKn1Ou35eor4ntOXNW/s1600/spindles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWdP4Rv8BNTZ6xlUEdj4x8g6dhnnzOv19LQa_aMLcUN3OjIMI1o7k4R64zx01Aix4ucWis3_qbTT0ySWYc7MSXIcSiWiGuvjM5Kw2p3t8iewZ9CnwEv_B1U2E7_bKn1Ou35eor4ntOXNW/s1600/spindles.jpg" height="400" width="266" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the rustic look that the beams and rebar gives!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's where I left off on the DIY Spiral Stairs...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8fIYzDBvl5IKiLZ_g5mCEscl1iUmzhF52SjkN1E5ByWTb-K7b1Eg3i76G-uw_mSSh6ot0rK04kw8lHrPbeRq57yBuzAKPbj-Z3NXPPmfOD8WP62AAAB9acUboCELFufUqZyHQSCIPPCzj/s1600/Stairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8fIYzDBvl5IKiLZ_g5mCEscl1iUmzhF52SjkN1E5ByWTb-K7b1Eg3i76G-uw_mSSh6ot0rK04kw8lHrPbeRq57yBuzAKPbj-Z3NXPPmfOD8WP62AAAB9acUboCELFufUqZyHQSCIPPCzj/s1600/Stairs.jpg" height="400" width="303" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a list of unfinished projects going on all at once right now. I really need to focus on finishing what I've already started before adding something new. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">ha ha I can't help myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ever since I painted my kitchen cabinets, the wall color just doesn't seem to fit anymore. I can't wait to start re-painting the walls, but before I can do that, there are a few things I need to do beforehand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to give my windows a Farmhouse look by using moulding. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you were to search <i>Farmhouse window moulding, </i>you would come across a variety of styles on what "Farmhouse" should look like.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be honest, I went with the simplest and most inexpensive. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So on my previous post, I showed you this picture...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6TOQlv2OJyYIluBMpn2UzuoxZXftKA1m5jQI818smIPWEo6rVKSHBpKQZN9-N4pNlhSMaNEEocvY7QvjYy1jjAfNt8HTM9d6fsT8MGge2maLK_-THULo4O23rnUxPKexeihLzAIIMPCRn/s1600/Kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6TOQlv2OJyYIluBMpn2UzuoxZXftKA1m5jQI818smIPWEo6rVKSHBpKQZN9-N4pNlhSMaNEEocvY7QvjYy1jjAfNt8HTM9d6fsT8MGge2maLK_-THULo4O23rnUxPKexeihLzAIIMPCRn/s1600/Kitchen.jpg" height="400" width="298" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the window above my sink, I used 1x3" pine wood. I used my nail gun to adhere them to the wall.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I gave the wood 2 coats of paint, and I also painted the top section of wall with the new paint color!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sherwin-Williams Sea Salt</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted a gray tone, possibly a grayish-beige. I went with Sea Salt, because depending on the lighting, it gives off a grayish-blue tone. Very calming. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It looks a bit turquoise in this picture, but it actually looks gray with a subtle hint of blue in person. </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wasn't worried about <i>"staying in the lines"</i></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">while painting, because I'm going to be re-painting the walls anyways. =)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These boards are 1x4" </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kind of hard to tell from pictures, but the new framing makes the kitchen appear sooo much bigger!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So before I start painting the kitchen, I'm going to give all of the trim a fresh coat of white paint! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hopefully by next weekend I'll have a newly painted kitchen to show y'all! =)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I go through phases where I take a break from working on projects, and my focus becomes more on decorating.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think this past month I've been collecting decorative pieces for my kitchen. I hardly <i>ever</i> buy NEW, and I love unique pieces!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love to shop at this place called The Barn! They sell a huge variety of antique, vintage, rustic, eclectic, and more! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are just a few pieces I've added...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aren't these lovely? They are old wine jugs, and though I don't drink, I just <i>loved</i> the look of them, and the color! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My kitchen doesn't exactly have a lot of color right now. Once I re-paint my walls to a more neutral color, then my kitchen <i>REALLY</i> won't have a variety of color to it! Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but this wonderfully adorable rooster gives my kitchen the pop of color that it needs! </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As of right now, I'm going to be surrounding the kitchen window with some Farmhouse-style moulding! The current faucet has got-to-go, but what I'm wanting to replace it with, isn't exactly in-expensive...so I'm saving my pennies! </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past Summer I used Minwax Gel Stain to create a <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2013/06/diy-faux-wooden-garage-door.html">faux wooden look on my garage door.</a> I meant to go over it with a sealant, but never did. Over time it started to make a bunch of tiny cracks through the stain, and so I either needed to re-do it, or try something else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you're going to use the Minwax, make sure you seal it afterwards!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ended up trying something different...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Glidden is called TILLED SOIL, and the Martha Living is HACIENDA: </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basically, the Potter's Clay just gave it a very subtle texture look. Had I known, I may have went with something a little more noticeable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I forgot to take pictures of the garage door when it was all crackled, but this is what it looked like when it was 1st done with the Minwax...</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I actually really like this color, I think it goes better with the brick.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eventually, I would like to frame out the garage door with wood.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think once I put the wooden slats up, paint it all the same color, it'll give it some nice dimension.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would only be able to do so, because our garage is enclosed. We converted our garage into another room a while back!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But we shall see. I need to do a little more research to see what would adhere wood to steel...or if the wood would warp over time, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A little while back I came across these 2 end tables...</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-WZttHVgeyWDkpmqpojSoCw4exbGwk8W0q9Ce3op7O_PZlhllzduiF3-_w2zPjxbaSTglkVKB2VJkqgGaEDQTVp6UeGmR5olnpAu2OBFfsEcB6mHPskk-n_XOPPAACv3bkI3mSXOifIB/s1600/Tables.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-WZttHVgeyWDkpmqpojSoCw4exbGwk8W0q9Ce3op7O_PZlhllzduiF3-_w2zPjxbaSTglkVKB2VJkqgGaEDQTVp6UeGmR5olnpAu2OBFfsEcB6mHPskk-n_XOPPAACv3bkI3mSXOifIB/s1600/Tables.jpg" height="266" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just LOVE the bottoms on these tables!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Problem was, they were a bit too short for end tables. I like my end table to be higher up, closer to the arm rest of my couch. These were only about 16" tall.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I let them sit in my Living Room for a few days while I thought about how I was going to make them work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Actually, what gave me the idea to turn them into a coffee table, was that my kids put them side by side one day while they were doing their chores.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So on the weekend I went to a Scrap-booking Retreat, (I "craft" rather than scrapbook) I brought these 2 tables along to work on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started off by gluing down some wooden slats with this design. Then I went over it with my nail gun, and also added screws to make sure it was fully secure. I would later apply wood putty to cover the screw holes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make it even <i>more</i> sturdy, I flipped it, and did the same thing to the backside...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I had it flipped, I went ahead and stained that side first.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then stained the top side, and also added some sealant.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since then, there have been many paint changes...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think I first started off painting the kitchen yellow, then there was blue, and then green. </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have always wanted to paint the cabinets, but just wasn't sure what color or technique I wanted to do.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I do love darker cabinets, because my kitchen is already so dark, I knew I needed to go with a white to lighten the room up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was originally going to go with a paint that didn't require sanding (like Annie Sloan), and then just give it an antique/distressed look myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I started seeing the RUST-OLEUM Cabinet Transformations Kit pop up everywhere on Pinterest!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After seeing a friend of mine do it to her own kitchen, I was SOLD!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the Kit that I bought. I needed 2 boxes. It comes with <i>almost </i>everything you will need! There is a list on the back of the box that tells you what else you will need to purchase, like the brushes & gloves!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only other thing I would suggest having on hand, would be paper towels.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We ran out of the gauze that they provided for the glaze part. I used paper towels to wipe off the glaze, and that worked just as good. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, after you pick up the box from the shelf, you will then need to take it to the paint counter to have them mix your color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would suggest going online first, to pick out the color you want...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went with the color PURE WHITE, but you will still need to have them mix that for you. =)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had my husband helping me on Day 1, my Brother helping me on Day 2, but then I was on my own after that! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now that my cabinets are painted, I'm going to need to re-paint the kitchen again! The green looks fine, but I know a grayish-tan will look better. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So next on the agenda...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- paint the Kitchen/Dining Room walls </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- paint the molding (needs a fresh coat of white paint!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- paint or <i>something </i>the Kitchen pantry doors (I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but the pantry doors need a new look!) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- new light fixtures</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> - etc.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Soooo...GUESS WHAT?!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are working on the spiral stairs again!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My carpenter brother has been working on my new Oak threads to replace the particle wood that was there before.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What's even more exciting is that the wood is coming from the trees off his land! I love sentimental things like that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been months since my last post!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was preparing for 2 crafts shows, one in November, one in December...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK4G7PGtWQk97RV0cmWV1qtwzXxaxKg2mVoHYaSb-oi1VHJXnKGDALiEy65EDdrQzIaG-R9VoZLR8fSyTUpno-ucGeodwB21LO6RrUA2_vcJHq2VFNk_MqpuZo_BpoSpCsWdHVQN1BxKRg/s1600/IMG_5309.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK4G7PGtWQk97RV0cmWV1qtwzXxaxKg2mVoHYaSb-oi1VHJXnKGDALiEy65EDdrQzIaG-R9VoZLR8fSyTUpno-ucGeodwB21LO6RrUA2_vcJHq2VFNk_MqpuZo_BpoSpCsWdHVQN1BxKRg/s400/IMG_5309.JPG" height="301" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My husband was a HUGE support system!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I kind of waited until the last minute to prepare for this show, and so 6 weeks leading up to the Craft Fair...we were both busy, busy, BUSY! Every free moment we had, went to building, sanding, painting, creating,...all while trying to put family first! <i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Family</i> will always be number 1 priority. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGWO1i7x4-YPmF9nFPGMdTMkmUYqRgT1UeFSDdMosCc1O4tcT0BXsBhLeJUziDTTy_RLGRCKRYc9IhI2zVOc4ubxxqpSxv0hqlayJPh9tfLpjJVRSxclDmRtt97PDuqT76al17iWaCob1P/s1600/JIP-Patterson-Family-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGWO1i7x4-YPmF9nFPGMdTMkmUYqRgT1UeFSDdMosCc1O4tcT0BXsBhLeJUziDTTy_RLGRCKRYc9IhI2zVOc4ubxxqpSxv0hqlayJPh9tfLpjJVRSxclDmRtt97PDuqT76al17iWaCob1P/s400/JIP-Patterson-Family-13.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though we were doing this "together", it was physically and mentally exhausting!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We both work, we have 4 small children, and so adding all of this to the mix was just too much! I vowed I would never allow myself to become this busy again!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the result of all of our hard work though!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The great thing that came out of all this was, my husband was able to take a step back, and just <i>watch</i> everything that I LOVE doing, (everything that he questioned) actually <i>be</i> something. About 80% of what you see in this picture SOLD in those 2 days! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went to dinner with my family after those long 2 days, and it brought tears to my eyes, hearing my husband <i>brag </i>about his wife to her Dad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That he was so proud of me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have you had that feeling before? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To have your husband tell you how proud he is of you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is something I will never forget. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That is what made all of this worth it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the end, it actually brought us closer. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is actually something that <i>he</i> wants to be apart of now.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the Craft Fair in December...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of what I brought to the Craft Show in December was what I didn't sell in November. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would say that 2013 was a learning experience.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You know, 2 years ago I wasn't even <i>thinking</i> about <i>ever</i> having a business!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was just something that I did for myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">God has blessed us more than we could have ever imagined!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I struggle with verbally witnessing to others, because I am kind of a shy person. I don't know the right words to say, and when I do think of the right words to say, the moment has already passed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I'm able to put scripture on pallet art, words of encouragement, words to make people laugh, and sometimes cry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm able to listen to others share their stories, all because of a pallet art I created <i>touched</i> them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are <i>some</i> of what I sold at the Craft Shows...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been almost a MONTH since my last blog post, but I have a very good excuse for my absence. =)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year I'm participating in my FIRST Craft Fair!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was never my intention to ever have a small business, but it kind of just happened on its own. I give God all the glory, as this has been such a blessing for me.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It all started with making myself pallet art, then I moved up to painting furniture, and from there I started to up cycle, and now I'm even building actual furniture pieces! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Along the way, people started taking notice, and wanting me to do different projects for them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I actually have a small business now, and will be selling my <i>stuff</i> at a Craft Fair in November!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That being said, I kind of had to put the blog, and even house projects on hold for the time being.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I spend all of my FREE time now preparing for the CRAFT FAIR!!! I promise I will be back to blogging regularly come November, and back to working on projects around the house. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I already have a list of things I would like to do before Christmas...Part 2 on the garage door, building my own shutters for the exterior windows, and possibly painting my kitchen cabinets!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's just a few things that have been going on since my last post...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(If you follow me on Facebook, then you may have already seen these pictures)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First off...this is the sign I made for my booth!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I didn't go all out with Fall decorations this year...there's just NO time! Did I mention that I also work 4 day's out of the week + I have 4 children and a husband that are my top priority?! Hee Hee </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About a year ago (Summer of 2012 to be exact) we were visiting my brother in Florida. While we were there, we walked up and down this strip of antique shops. It was there, that I first came across this idea to up cycle an old chair into a standing planter...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I can't seem to find this fabric <i>anywhere</i>, a picture of it with my little guy will have to do. hee hee</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought this chair at a garage sale, and because I already have too many projects I'm working on, I was just going to re-sell this <i><b>as is</b>.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5_vGASglkk15K1QcGugCMJlh6pXhX-arakSunsjA6KXmmDb6yrozUVQ3x6EzFERDZuK5-Dm_VIJHS4cnhfF1CApt6utK38ntj_eos6VyrN6VnsYP8r5tkQOxmu8z4wWDUib-vNzeIbdO/s1600/Chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5_vGASglkk15K1QcGugCMJlh6pXhX-arakSunsjA6KXmmDb6yrozUVQ3x6EzFERDZuK5-Dm_VIJHS4cnhfF1CApt6utK38ntj_eos6VyrN6VnsYP8r5tkQOxmu8z4wWDUib-vNzeIbdO/s400/Chair.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had this lady very interested in the feet on this chair. She had me send her about a dozen different photos of JUST the </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">claw and ball </i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">feet. She even had me measure the ball.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To be perfectly honest, I never even noticed the <i>claw and ball</i> feet until she mentioned it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fortunately for ME, she ended up NOT purchasing the chair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I thought it would be so cool to really bring out the <i>ball</i> that's clinched between the <i>claws</i>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I had the wood left over from the iron park bench, and so I used that for the base of the chair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had this decorative piece laying around that I bought from Lowes. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for the next couple of months you will start seeing me post more craft type projects, or up cycled pieces, painted furniture, etc.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm doing my FIRST Craft Fair this Fall, and so my main focus right now is to work on things I'll be selling at my booth!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is one of those pieces...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of all, let me say...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have never seen the movie, Alice In Wonderland. I do however, remember there being a BIG clock, possibly a rabbit??...and something to do with tea?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Am I close? ha ha</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to paint this chair red. I spray painted it black first, so that when I distressed the chair, the black would show through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Do you notice the missing spindle?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got the idea to just replace the spindle with a stair spindle I had on hand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">By doing this, it needed to be a <em>funky</em> looking chair, since it would have looked odd with 1 different looking spindle. So at that point, <i>funky</i> was the theme.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was looking around, and noticed a clock I had just bought that morning at a garage sale. That's when <i>Alice In Wonderland</i> popped in my head!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't worry, I didn't take a perfectly good clock apart! You can't tell from this picture, but the outer part was broken, and I bought this for a dollar! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The white part was actually paper, so it was easy for me to glue down to the chair. I covered it with mod podge, but I'm going to also seal it down with some polycrylic.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you just now found my blog, my name is Jenny!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been married for almost 11 years now, and God has blessed us with 4 beautiful, loving children! As you can imagine, our lives are pretty busy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We love the outdoors, we love taking road trips, going on mini in-expensive vacations. One of our favorite things to do is rock-climbing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's just something about it...Once you reach the top, and you're looking out at all the beauty that God has created, it's just a reminder that nothing else matters. The every day stresses...they just go away!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ahhh...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is my Family!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So when we're not going on our little adventures, and it's just every day life...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I enjoy decorating, crafting, working on projects with my Dad and/or Husband, re-modeling, DIY-ing (is that a word?), rearranging furniture over-and-over again, taking pictures, and more recently...blogging!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Then I heard about Pinterest, and that took me to the next level!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Whoever invented this...genius!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">It was there, where I saw that you can up cycle pallets!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have tried almost everything pertaining to pallets! The <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2012/05/pallet-wall.html">pallet wall</a>, <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2012/04/shipping-pallets.html">pallet shelving, pallet coffee table, framed pallets</a>, <a href="http://made-2-love.blogspot.com/2012/12/diy-chalkboard.html">chalkboard pallets</a>, and my Pallet Art! It seems that out of everything I have made, "Pallet Art" seems to have been the biggest hit!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I'm going to show you just how <em>easy</em> it is to make one yourself!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Start off with a pallet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I find a lot of my pallets next to dumpsters, but you should still try and ask before taking them. Shipping Pallets are expensive for companies!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I use a Circular Saw to cut the wood into pieces. I don't even bother trying to take the nails out! They are next to impossible to remove!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I get a little bit nervous using a Circular Saw, so I usually ask my husband to cut them for me. =)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought 2 disassembled cast iron park benches from a friend of mine. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with them. I didn't think I was going to reassemble them, and just refurbish. I kind of bought them for the sole purpose of upcycling them.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I had no plans on working on them any time soon, but while I was carrying them inside the house to the backyard, I passed by my fireplace and thought, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">"Hmmm...I wander?"</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I lifted the back piece to the bench onto my mantel, took a step back, and thought, "Yes! That's it!"</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I stopped everything I was doing, went and grabbed my supplies, and back to the front yard I went!</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So these were the pieces I bought...</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I LOVE them as individual pieces! I plan on reusing every part of it, but in different ways other than a park bench. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just LOVE everything, but I already have a trunk,...don't really need another one. So I'm actually going to re-sell that one to make a profit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This is usually how I do </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>things</i></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">. I'll buy <i>things</i> that I know I can make some money off of, to afford the <i>things</i> that I want to keep.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">"Okay, that was WAY too many <i>things</i>!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">ha ha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For example, this is what I spent:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Vintage Trunk: $25.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Pepsi Crate: $5.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Stool: $1.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Frames: $1.00 each</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">...and I bought a set of dishes for $3.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So I spent about $40.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The only <i>Keepers </i>are going to be the Crate and the dishes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I just sold the Trunk for $60.00, giving me a profit of $35.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So that already nearly paid for the money I spent!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The frames are going to be up-cycled into something else, probably a Chalkboard Frame, which I will probably then sell for $20 each.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The stool will probably re-sell for $15.00</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So in the end, I will be making quite a bit of profit, AND the best part of it, I got what I <i>REALLY</i> wanted for FREE!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now...for the FUN stuff!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Check out my Pepsi Crate!!!</span><br />
