Inspiration

I have a stepstool exactly like this, except I never thought to paint it like that.

 

I don't need any vases, but I want these.

 

A source for green glass hardware!

 

How hard could it be to make this? Especially if I got someone near and dear to me to make it?

 

Before the demise of so many of my favorite magazines, I never paid attention to my husband's This Old House magazine. Now I take it before he gets a chance to grab it. This month's issue is particularly good: garden ideas and a vintage kitchen. All kinds of ideas. As if I needed any more.
 
It's another day of garden work for me. For the second time in five days, I'm choosing to stay home instead of going out to a sale. I hope we're all still going to be friends.

Ah, yes - magazines as a source of inspiration! I have seen that same kitchen before (more than once, I believe), and I'm sure that I saved either the page(s) or the entire magazine it was in.
Love the painted stool, love McCoy pottery!!
Love it all.

Thanks for the idea -- I also know a man who might be talked into making that arbor, if he were approached in just the right way. It would look great over the path to the greenbelt, and I could see it from the kitchen window!

You have to stay home sometime and enjoy and spruce up your finds, making them a joy to live with. That is inspiring, practical and a treat for us when you share your efforts!

I always grab Tom's "This Old House" before he gets to it too! (there is that great minds thing again) I still like you even if you aren't out junking...just get out of the garden one of these days.

That mag is pretty darn good. We subscribed some time last year.

I've never picked up an issue of this magazine, but next time I see it, I will.

I love that tulip vase.

I think it's fun to see different things, and I like everything that you share. Inside, and out.

It's pretty good! I got it on sale for $5/year on Amazon and I like it! I love the last page where they show the old house that needs saving.

I love that magazine too. The DH gets it and doesn't love it. I want you to know that I am spending my only free 45 minutes today reading you posts!
