Enamel dish pan

Wanting to use items I have already to decorate for fall, I made a centerpiece for our dining room table.  I took my enamel dishpan and added a few items.

I have a vintage crockery pitcher and added some fall colored stems.  Some fall leaves and a couple of  pumpkins.

Vintage Screen

Fall is coming and I wanted to create something new (old) really.

Several years ago my sister gave me a vintage window screen and I've held onto it in hopes of creating something for the house.

I took down a picture in my entry hall and hung the screen.  I attached one of my burlap wreaths I made last year.

I just completed a burlap bunting with fall painted in the orange and brown colors  to complement the fall foliage.

Milk can

I've had this milk can for quite a long time. It was a bland brown with no lid.  I found a lid at an antique/junk store this summer so I decided to paint them with a high gloss black.  I painted the first letter of our last name and decided to display it next to our front porch.

I may build a little round garden in the yard and use it there but for now, it's sitting put. We have black shutters and white siding so it looks good with the colors.

I sprayed plenty of gloss also to protect the paint and lettering.

Vintage forks transformed

I was out with some friends yesterday for lunch and antique shopping.  We saw several of these picture holders for the old vintage cards.  I have quite a few old card pictures of our  ancestors so I thought I would give it a try.

The forks were 2 and 3 dollars each.  They do require some heavy pliers and I still need more practice but I think the first one came out OK.

The baby is a great aunt of my husbands.

 

 

 

 

 

You turn the two inside tines to the back and the two outside remain to the front.

Vintage Frame and print

On a trip to Europe years ago we collected a book from each city.  Pisa, Italy was one of our favorites and inside the book was a small map of the city.

I have had the map in a box for years and wanted to display it somehow.  I took the small map and had it enlarged.

One of my favorite vintage window frames was not being used so I thought it would make a great picture frame.

 

 

I really like the curve at the top of the window.  The color and distressed look of the frame matches other pieces of furniture in my home.
