Simple and Lovely



Aaron created this simple and lovely arrangement all by himself.  He made four of them to be used as centerpieces for our Easter lunch tables.  As he worked he commented, "They look so nice!" and "Daddy will like these!".  Doesn't it look adorable sitting on the made-over table?   

Here is a before/after:


 
Here is a close up of before and after distressing:


I love the new look of this cute little table and I especially love how the details really pop after the distressing.

Starting Small

"One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure" is the name of the flea market right here in my hometown and was the inspiration for the title of my new blog.  It is also where I found this first piece.  I have always enjoyed flea market-ing and garage sale-ing.  My grandmother, Mama Del, has always called it "garbage sale-ing".  It is so fun to find something with potential and help it to fulfill that potential. 

I am "starting small" with my first project to be featured here.  I love this cute little table and wanted to give it a fresh look. 


Here is a sneak peak of the paint color, New Avocado.


Check back for the reveal!
