A couple of make overs and some Easter decor

*~*SPRING MAKEOVERS AND EASTER DECOR*~*

Amazingly we had a couple of days with bright sunshine in between the snow showers.. It makes you feel so good and also makes you take a good look around your home..I have had a few ideas over the past month or so that were just waiting to be put to work.. With my new Farmhouse Romantic Prairie look I have been wanting to lighten and brighten some of my furniture too.. I went out to the home decor shop and bought the paint firstly for the stairs to my craft room.. I had seen the most perfect thing on pinterest and set to work.. It only took me a few evenings to acheive the look I wanted.. Now it is a total pleasure to walk up those stairs to my craft room to create..It is difficult to get a good pic as these stairs are quite tight..

Next I moved to the kitchen.. The off white paint just goes perfect with the pale wooden top and has made such a difference to my kitchen..I resisted the temptation to rub it back on the corners and just love it.. So simple..

Then it was on to the dining room.. This cupboard holds lots of stuff for the dining room and is the perfect place for a great display.. It was all just wood to start with and seemed to disapear into the wooden floor now it seems to pop.. Added some new handles too..

 

I have been wanting to bring out some Spring Easter decor and firstly purchased some wooden eggs which I painted in pastel colours then sanded and waxed them which gives them a worn vintage look..They look great in an old sieve..

Love this little guy..

A simple display on my kitchen window with a ceramic bunny..

Love these sweet vintage rabbit molds too.. Perfect on my kitchen bench..

Finally my simple tree with wax eggs and wax bunny..

Just wanted to share these ATTIC BEARS.. Both on ebay this week..

Thank you for popping by and love to hear your comments too..

Hope you have enjoyed my makeovers and Easter pics..

NEW YEAR, NEW IDEAS AND NEW MAKES

*~* NEW YEAR, NEW IDEAS, NEW MAKES*~*

I can hardly believe we will be leaving January so soon.. This month has already passed by so quickly but has brought lots of different weather for us in it's few short weeks.. We have had warm and barmy almost uncanny weather here and then the extreme fell over night blocking us in for a few days.. With the schools closed and hubby unable to get out for work.. Lucky for me I was on my days off so didn't have to try and travel.. So we spent some quality family time with outdoor fun sledging and building snowmen and this year snowdogs too LOL..

This also gave me some ME space to continue creating some more ATTIC BEARS.. I am so hooked on these fellows and love their vintage look..

This fellow is on ebay this week.. For more pics click on the side-bar link..

This big Bear watches over me whilst I stitch and will be coming up for sale soon.. She is so sweet with her vintage fabric ruff and early 1900 Antique baby shoes..

This sweet Panda is now off to a loving home..

I have so much planned for this year and can't wait to share.. I have been doing abit of decorating and re-juggling in my home too so will do some pics of that too as I finish the rooms.. Waiting for fabric for soft furnishings... I have gone for a more simple look with lots of naturals which seems to enhance my collections LOL well you know what I mean...

Call back soon and *~*blessings*~*..
