Wicker chair and couch garbage find

My hubbie found this wonderful little set at the curb and brought it home for revamping.
At first look I was not going to touch it as it seemed like a huge project but now I am finding great inspiration ideas thru fellow bloggers. Unfortunetaly the cushions that were with it were too used to even try to salvage. I will most likely buy some new foam and then use the some of the 50 ft of fabric that I got from my girlfriend Kitty when she was moving from Montreal.

Here is the idea for the cushions and slip covers at Beach Vintage: http://beachvintage.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2011-06-22T15%3A22%3A00%2B10%3A00&max-results=12

This is the color I want to spray paint it when fixed.

Well I think the verdict if finally in for the darker colour. Now should I use paint or stain. I think that Krylon probably has the best paint out there right now so I will have to see if I can match the colour and while I am at it, I will stand my wicker plant stand to match the settee.

I also like the way the fabric's are mismatched. This is more of my style. I also love the blue on the window frame which I will probably use with yellows for the back deck to give that Mexican feel.

Sewing machine drawers

I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
