Our "Find" at Portland Salvage

So Bruce and I have been wanting an aluminum covered dining table and kitchen island for a while now.

We set out today to one of our most favorite places Portland Architectual Salvage to find something

close to what we want. We found them both!!! The Kitchen Island is a work in progress. The dining table

is perfect the way it is (we are adding the aluminum to the top). Here are some photos of the Kitchen Island.

We are picking up the dining table later this week. I will post photos then.

21x70 Butcher Block top= $120.00

4 Fence Posts at Home Depot(for the legs)=$52.00

Sheet of "Practice" Aluminum at Lowes= $18.95 

4 Casters at Home Depot= $21.00

Making decisions about this project without arguing with

this guy= PRICELESS

This is exactly what I like to do in the winter:)

I loved this movie "The Holiday" the story line was great. Cameron Diaz is very funny.

But what I loved most about this movie was drooling over the little cottage she stayed 

in when she swapped houses with Kate Winslet's Character. I loved it. It is so cozy and 

warm looking.

I am participating in DIY day at "A soft place to land" blog

Saylor Bleu needed something to do! on this snowy day.

She opened her own "Bleutique".

 We started with business cards from 

"Big Daddy Designs" a.k.a "Dad" he did a great job.

Using Gimp and some card stock.

We started with a lamp shade like the one you see

in the picture. I cut the lamp shade off of the ring and

used a staple gun to attach it to the old console table that

I had stored in our basement. I took an old piece of barnwood

from the "Old Barn" that my father is tearing down on my

childhood property in Northern California. I then painted a tiny

shoe and the name of the "Pretend" boutique. We actually 

changed the name after I had painted the sign:( It is now

called the "Bleutique" after my daughter's middle name. I 

attached some satin ribbon and a brooch I found at a flea

market. We put the other lamp shade over a dress form

to give it the look of a very hip lamp. We accessorized the

boutique counter with different items from her room and 

the house. We pulled out jeans, bathing suits,sweaters and 

tights from her dresser and diplayed them in her room.

I had some tissue paper and some bags from previous

shopping trips of my own. Saylor Bleu had such a great day

selling to her family in her very own "Bleutique"

The cute skirt she is wearing is actually mine, she had

a few wardrobe changes that day. She wore the skirt as

a tube dress and then paired it with a tank top later.

Making her first sale

That's a wrap!

Next on my list of "finds"

I love ZINC tables!

This photo makes me smile every time I see it

Nothing else is more important. Just my kids...well

and my husband:) Ok, my family and friends too.

I can't forget my dog "Boomer". And my family's 

health. My health too. You get the idea:)

My Spring Project..(that I am just getting around to posting)

I found this dresser at an antique store...it was previously 

painted in an offwhite with some thin faded blue stripes.

It was actually in pretty good condition, I just didn't care for

the paint job. So I bought it for 55.00 and brought it home and

painted it the color of my choice. It is photographed in my 

daughters room, but ended up in mine:) I love how it turned out.

Oh! the glass knobs were really cheap....2.00 a piece at a

salvage store.

I feel a ROAD TRIP coming on 9/8/2009
