Transformed Treasures Tuesdays no 5

April 21, 2014 By ARod Leave a Comment

Hello it’s Transformed Treasures Tuesdays no 5 thanks so much for stopping by. I’ve mentioned before how my daughter J has a baby on board. And I should you a peek into her pregnancy photo shoot, which was a blast. I even showed you how I had thrift-ed some props for the shoot. Well this week the baby shower is fast approaching. And I have been a hunt for some bookcases to use at the shower for props. I added a note to the invite requesting that people bring there favorite book to give to baby in order to start his library. My daughter is an avid reader and we hope this will be passed to her soon to be son.

So I have hit every thrift shop in my area and nada zippo zilch. And then this week my daughter has started nesting. J and her boyfriend have decided to move in with me as my apt is a 3 bedroom. She started to empty out my craft room and low and behold 2 perfectly small bookcases come out of the room. So I right away got to painting them white. Love Annie Sloan pure white. It’s just a awesome crisp white.

Spring has Sprung around here

April 16, 2014 By ARod 3 Comments

Yes good bye winter. Spring has sprung around here. Finally!! Every winter seems to get longer. And spring seems to be a little behind. We want sun shine we want warmth. I want to see flowers blooming. And so finally this has all begone. Even if I had to use dollar store flowers to spring up my life. You know I love the dollar store. And to spruce up my thrifted finds. Do you remember the little umbrella I thrifted. I think it will get a color change in the future, but for now I used it as is.

On My Mind Monday – Pregnancy photo shoot

April 14, 2014 By ARod 3 Comments

On my mind this Monday is my daughter’s J’s pregnancy photo shoot. If you follow my instagram then you might have already seen some of these pictures. My good friend Jamillie is a an awesome photographer and as soon as I told her J was with child she asked when are we doing a photo shoot. Funny thing when I was pregnant with J {20 yrs ago} I hid whenever someone brought out a camera. Now it’s all the rage to take pictures of a wonderfully big ole belly. So I was totally excited for this shoot and even thrifted props for it.

J is a big baseball fan. She played softball throughout her school years. So this seemed like a great theme for her shoot. We went to a nearby park that has a baseball field and as you will see below it was an awesome shoot.

I loved this shot so much I made it into a save the date card for her shower…Continue reading

Today we have the transformation of a cute little bunny. Cause it’s time to get ready for Easter. Sorry if you came back to see the lantern. That’s in above picture. I had mentioned last week that it would be next. And it is actually started but got bumped by the bunny. Maybe by next week that lantern might be ready. ;-). Or those planters that have patiently waited for a transformation. Decisions decisions.

Transformed Treasures Tuesday’s no 3

April 1, 2014 By ARod 3 Comments

Time for another thrift store find to under go it’s transformation. And become this weeks Transformed Treasures Tuesday’s no 3. I had picked up these little candle stick set a few months back. As they are wood I automatically thought they would make a good surface for my trusty go to Rub & Buff for a quick and easy transformation. I also used some of my Annie Sloan paint and here they are.

I’m really hoping to get to some more of those treasures in the cover image [above] transformed. That lantern has patiently been waiting it’s turn for a revamp. I’m thinking it should be next.
