A Simple Way to Dress-up a Plain Bookcase

bookcase, DIY, furniture, home decor, paint

I’m moving!  I had ordered a white bookcase to go in my yellow room, but it now resides in a rental standard white room.  Boring.  I plan to repaint the bedroom furniture, so once I decided on a color I thought the inside back of my bookcase would be a perfect place to start.  It makes the bookshelf stand out, plus gives me a real taste of the color in the room.

A small white bookcase with the inside back painted french gray.

The bookshelf is just your basic cheap, white bookcase & the paint is Glidden’s French Grey.  I bought the sampler bottle for about $2.50 & painted it with a foam brush.  It hadn’t been assembled yet, so it was super easy to paint.

Hurray! I finished a new project & actually got pics of it.  I have needed a way to organize & display my jewelry so I will actually wear more of it.

Chicken Coop Hanging Jewelry Holder

I made it entirely out of things I had around the house, so it was FREE :D  The only thing I did buy was some Krylon Crystal Clear Clear Gloss.  I used rusted nails for the hooks, & didn’t want the rust to transfer onto my jewelry. (Excuse the less than stellar pics.  My camera battery was dead, so I used my phone.) Continue reading »

Treasury Madness!

I finally made my first treasury.

And my second.

And my third.

I’m learning as I go, & I seem to find things in one treasury that won’t work for that theme, but inspire another.

Here are the three I have made so far.  I spent much longer on tonight’s than the other two, but I was specifically looking for items that had not been featured yet & especially from smaller sellers.

The first: Alabama Summertime
Summer theme featuring Alabama sellers
The theme was built around some of my earrings before I realized you’re not supposed to include your own items.  Oops.  I decided to go ahead & use them because I had built the treasury around them, & I find myself become less flexible as I get older, but I did put them last.  After it was published, I noticed I also used the same seller twice.  She is one of my teammates, so I picked her shop that way.  I didn’t realize it was the same shop when another of her items came up in a general search for summer themed items from Alabama sellers.  Since my noob was showing in this one, I had to make another one fast to redeem myself.

Never Too Old For Cartoons
Some of my favorite cartoons, because being a grown up is overrated.
This one was inspired by another teammate who makes Pokemon jewelry.

Unsung She-roes
Bad ass women who haven’t been featured before.
This treasury was sparked by the She-ra & Teela magnets I used in the cartoon treasury.

I should go back to work now…  I have several pairs of earrings that need to be listed, & more stuff to be made.  I’m like a raccoon with a shiny object, easily distracted & frequently trapped.

It’s the Alabama Accents’ Etsy cross-promotion day 17! For today I will share with you…

Good Old Days Treasures
Leslie Day, Birmingham, Alabama

~Specializing in all things vintage.~

Here we have a vintage shop with an eclectic assortment of goodies. They even have a Ronald Reagan mask like the one in that Genesis video with the Ronnie Superman. It was a tough decision between several things. She has a Trixie Belden book, which I loved as a child. I read every TB book our library had. But, this quilted box purse came out the winner. Isn’t it lovely? Reminds me of my beloved plaid vintage suitcase I use for my shop wares & photos. ♥

DIY // glitter pegs. « City In A Jar

Glitter Pegs @ City in a Jar

DIY // glitter pegs. « City In A Jar.

From the simple yet brilliant files – glittered clothes pins.  I love this idea!  I have been working up an idea that involves painted wooden clothes pins, but I have never considered glittering them.  I think I would combine the two & paint the pins before glittering.  I like that she only glitters the front, because I know me & I’d roll the whole thing in glitter.  I just can’t seem to help myself when there’s glitter involved.

Check out her blog post to see the whole project yourself.

cross promotion, Etsy, home decor, links, plushies

I’ve been quiet for a while.  Had an extended post-holidays crafting burnout break:)

But I am back, I will begin posting new items today & will have something new every day for the next couple of weeks.  This is to go along with a cross promotion of shops for my Alabama Accents Etsy groups, so I will be bringing your handmade goodies from fellow Alabama crafters.

First up is…

Sunshine Sister, designer gifts & home decor ~
Janna Perry, Fairhope, Alabama
www.sunshinesistersdesigns.com

Janna has the cutest grocery bag holders I’ve ever seen, reversible cloth napkins, blankets, custom book marks, potholders, all sorts of sewn goodies for your home, & she does custom stuffed plushies!

And it will all be handmade in Alabama. Isn’t that nice?

My favorite item in her shop is the made to order plushies!  She can do anything your heart desires.  I should order one of me.  That wouldn’t be weird at all.
