#10 - Pin Keep Box
One of my favorite things is pin keeps. I just can't seem to get enough of them. I made up this 'Pin Keep Box' back in February.

I try to find new ways to use old things whenever I can.
This newly made nesting box was made to look old. I use this aging technique quite often and it seems to work out nicely.
I jumped on the Subway Art bandwagon and came up with an old school version - no cricut cutter for me.
#3 - Primitive Witch Hat
Halloween gave me a creative excuse for this Primitive Witch Hat.
#2 - Chair Makeover
A need for a new chair brought about this project. After some much needed refinishing, she is now enjoying a new lease on life.
I ended the year with our Christmas Mantel for 2010 - a blending of old things with a 'Snowy Owl' theme.
With 2011 now here, I am looking forward to sharing many new projects. I am leaning towards a lighter pallet and 'all shades of white' are my color choices of the moment. Using antiques and vintage objects when I can, or recreating them when I can't. There is never enough time in the day to complete all the projects that dance through my head, but a girl can dream.
Linking up to the following parties:
Until next time ~ Suzanne.
i am fairley new to your blog and i am quite impressed with alot of what you posted today....did you do any tutors on any of your projects?
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful eye candy- thans so much!
ReplyDeleteOh... what awesome projects, Suzanne. I absolutely adore the cart coffee table. I love that style! I'm impressed with how you've repurposed ordinary objects to be beautiful and useful pieces for your home. Love the bowl rack, too. Genius! I've been wanting to make a plate rack so this was good inspiration. You'll have to share where you found your French Script fabric.
ReplyDeleteHope you're off to a great New Year! xxx
Wow! That factory cart coffee table transformation is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAmy
I can't wait, Suzanne! You just know I'll be following along to see what you come up with next.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and yours.
I love your top 10 projects, especially the cart coffee table and your wonderful gate. It looks like your husband is as talented as you are!!!
ReplyDeleteI am proud to say I was there when you were blogging almost every one of those projects. =] My very favorite of all is the factory cart! I don't show my husband very many things I see on blogs but I had to show him that post. He, like me, absolutely LOVED it! I've been on the lookout for old railroad carts and the cheapest I have come across is $550. I won't give up though.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed following your blog this past year and looking forward to many more inspiring projects to come from it! Thank you Suzanne!
What a great post, and what a great ten items! Hope 2011 is as creativly inspiring for you...LOVE the cart table, and the front gate. Happy Thursday - Tanya
