Art Supplies Get a Pretty New Home

I love to create scrapbooks and mixed media journals and all sorts of artsy things, so my stash of supplies is, well, enormous. I have a slight sickness when it comes to organization and my things having a "home," so when the quantity of pretty glitter glues became overwhelming, a new container was needed for storing them. I use them alot, so I wanted them to be easily accessible, and of course, I wanted them to be in something "pretty!" ...in comes that wonderful man again...

A two by four and a drill and he was off to creating.

It was a little rough around the edges, but it was just what I wanted. It would fit perfectly on the art studio island!

I added some layers of paint and took the palm sander to it....then I hand sanded the edges of the holes where it was extra rough from the drill bit.....

 ...it looked so sweet loaded with those soft "sherbety" rainbow of colors!

 Did I mention he rocks?

Shaker Peg Rack

 
Sometimes all it takes is a word....

...I recently mentioned to my husband how desperately I needed a new peg rack. The one I had was small and metal and old. Last weekend I went to deliver some painted furniture I had done for a friend and when I came home there was this most beautiful peg rack waiting for me. Big and scrolly and 8 over sized shaker pegs. I was so thrilled and so thankful...

...today I finally got around to painting it. It looks fabulous! 

I painted it with some spray paint I had in the garage. Glossy Brown Leather.

 

 Then I slapped on some paint - Heavenly Blue (yes it's my favorite and I use it on everything!)

Then I added some Country White, making sure to not cover all of the blue. I didn't cover all of the

brown paint & then I sanded heavily with the palm sander, taking some of it all the way down to the wood.

I just love how the scroll work looks now!
I will be linking this to some of my favorite parties here.

...I am so lucky...

...I love him.
