I stopped by our local thrift store on Friday with the 6 year old. It was slim pickings but I did manage to find a few goodies.
This haul cost me $2.50. Missing from the photo is one cat stuffed animal and a cat book that my little guy took off with immediately after we got home (he loves cats!). Check out the green fame with the screening. Here it is now.
I was able to give it a few coats of spray paint over the weekend. I think it has a kind of farmhouse/industrial chic look it now.
The B stencil stands for our last name. I like how the metal pops against the white.
I was originally thinking of adding a stand to the back to make it a jewelry holder but I'm liking this much better for the kitchen.

So our upstairs carpeting was completed today. Yay! While I was milling about the house waiting for them to finish, I started tinkering with some of my cloches and other glass pieces. Since all of our holiday goodies are packed away now, I was shopping the house for quick ways to update.
This is how my faux mantel looked for the holidays. And here it is now.
Less cluttered and more simple. Blue and white hues.
For this cloche, I added some embellished match boxes.
This one has a Frenchy votive. Sorry about the glare! You know how it is with glass and sunlight. ;)
I added an urn with faux moss to this one.
And of course I started playing around with some ideas for Valentine's Day.
My husband just scratches his head. But I remind him that love isn't just for Valentine's Day - it's for everyday!

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! Believe it or not, our decorations are down and already packed away. We're gearing up for some much-needed home improvements and can't spare a moment. I was able to get a few items done and added to my Etsy shop before the madness ensues.
Tags, tags and more tags! French ones.
Religious ones.
And yes, even Valentine's Day ones.
That's all I've been able to get to. The hubby is home until January 2nd and I've got to use the extra set of hands while I can. New carpeting coming tomorrow. A livingroom and diningroom await fresh coats of paint. And don't even get me started on the clutter.
I'm determined to start 2014 organized!

Taking a few days off from blogging and wanted to wish all of my bloggy friends a very merry Christmas!
