Just doing a few odds and ends ...

I haven't been very creative lately. I seem to be in a bit of a slump...Maybe for the best, as I have other little projects here and there, that I've actually crossed off my list the last few days. I have some yard sale items here and there that I wanted to re-do and I've finished a few of those. I took EVERYTHING out of our one bathroom off of our bedroom, to re-do and I am starting from scratch in there...I don't want to spend much on all new accessories and such, so I am re-painting shelves and making a few new things here and there, and, I found a few awsome items at the flea market soooo cheap, it feels good re-doing this room instead of any guilt over spending money that should go elsewhere.....

Here is just one example of a few things I re-did to go in the room. I wanted to add some color so I added fabric under the labels I made for these antique bottles I got Dirt cheap, almost free....LOL



I'll try to take pics with my daughter's camera of some other things as I get them fnished.. Can't wait to get my money, as I really NEED a new camera of my own....
Hugs all,
Robin

  4. The bottles are really nice!

    You're doing something I love to do. Remove the stuff from the room and paint and fix them so they work with the new plans :) It's a LOT cheaper that way. I wish I could come up and help!

    Can't wait to see more afters :)

  5. Hey, Robin ~ I've not been able to blog-visit for a few weeks due to illness, work demands, etc. ~ I'm so sorry about Scuffy - we have a rotten pooch, and if something happened to him, our whole family would be in therapy for the rest of our lives. Sending you hugs ...

  8. Hi Robin. I love those bottles! How clever. This is my first visit to your blog. I have prim blogs too. I am going to add you to my blogrolls.
