Race Bib & Medal Holder

I posted recently where I finally made a board to hold my race bibs - when I use to scrapbook all the time I would put them in there, but since I let myself get SO FAR behind doing that I just gave up.  I knew I wanted to keep them but just wasn't sure what to do with them.  THEN came Pinterest and as you all know you can find anything there...I made this quick board to hold all my race bibs!

Then, a friend of an awesome friend contacted me about making a "double" bib/medal holder that she had seen on Etsy.  Sure, I can do that...I love the way it turned out:)

Here's a few pics of it in progress.

I used the "L" hooks so you can hang a lot of medals on each one.

I noticed that I used my 2011 Marathon bib as a template...this excites me & makes me nervous!!  February 2015 I will be running my 5th marathon- Woo!Hoo!

Have a GREAT weekend & a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Fabric Lined Drawers!!

It's been 1 1/2 years since I last blogged any of my furniture pieces.  That's crazy but if you have followed me on Facebook you know we've had a little going on this past year...now that hopefully life has settled down some, I plan on blogging every new piece that I put in my antique booth.  I love doing it so here's to my FIRST post in years...

I found this piece at the Habitat Restore in Brevard, NC over Thanksgiving.  I knew the bottom drawer would need some work where the veneer was broken off, nothing a little wood filler can't fix.  I thought it definitely had potential & I loved the small drawer pulls.

I decided to paint this piece ASCP Duck Egg Blue for the body and SW Antique White for the drawers.  I love the contrast of the two colors...

I love before/after pics of painted furniture...

When I bought this piece I was so blown away by its beauty and the price that I didn't even open the drawers...it would not have changed my decision to buy this piece but the inside of the drawers were pretty nasty - old spray on felt!  Afters hours of searching on Pinterest to try to figure out how to remove it and realizing that was going to take way too much work I decided to scrap off as much of the "furriness" that I could and cover it with fabric!  SUCCESS-I love it and now want to cover every drawer I have!
