Under $100 Linky Party

I love your questions--so many good ones that you email me.  I am going to address some of them in upcoming blog posts.  A recent question was why my linky party is under $100.  It started with the magazine  100 Decorating Ideas Under $100.  I love that magazine--don't see new ones anymore.  I decided we could come up with even more and better under $100 ideas, thus my linky party was born.  And I have loved it ever since and look forward to your under $100 fabulousness every week such as:

Shabby Love's cute cabinet

Pumpkin Dress-Ups from Inspiration For Moms

Perfect table for a narrow entry from Down to Earth Style

Aaah, old fencing from Too Much Time on My Hands

Leftovers

I have a few "leftover" pictures from Prairie Sisters that I haven't shown.  Peek around in them the best you can (phone pictures), there are lots of things to see.

 These brightly colored items were a big hit--sold right away.  I also had a side table to match the sofa table.

 

A chair I freshened up with paint and new fabric.

 

My red corner--I made another wagon table, sold immediately.  See the Hoosier drawer wine holder?

A bookshelf with book pages decopauged to the back and a shabby dresser.

 

The drawers were painted in mostly coco and old white, with the top and body done mostly in Louis blue and old white.

 

Another drawer ottoman, a round table that had been cut down at one point in time to be made into a coffee table, a vintage shelf.

Drawer Croquet??

Another waterbed drawer, another repurposed project.  This one is a shelf or storage bin with a fun front--croquet mallet handles.  (Sorry, pictures aren't great--they were taken with my phone in my antique booth.)

A simple, great storage shelf for any room.

A Table That Measures Up

This is a project I wish I had 10 of as I could have sold it over and over at The Prairie Sister's show.  The sweet lady who bought it had a father named Thurman.  Thurman's was an out of business plumbing supply place in Missoula, the town the show was in.  I started by building a basic wooden base, the same I have done so many times. 

I washed the yardsticks in color and added a little stain. 

I had a thin wood top on the table.  I glued and the nail gunned the rulers in place (after cutting them, of course). 

Fun and easy--now to find more yardsticks.

A Dooring Bench

Whew, I survived and thrived at Prairie Sisters--it was a fun and successful show.  Here is a before picture:

and an after (the stuff in the back corner belonged to the gal next to me and the ladders were props).

One of my favorites items that sold was a bench I made from a 5 paneled door.  When I saw a door bench in the latest issue of Flea Market Style magazine, I knew I wanted to make one.   They had the door panels for the sides, new wood for the seat and shelf, and no back--I was inspired to make a bench out of the whole door.  So, using all five panels, I made this sweet little bench:

I left the hinges on the side panels,
and I put one of the door plates back on, in a little different place.

The door had been baby yellow, pink, light blue, mint green.  I painted it with Paris Grey chalkpaint, all sloppy and messy.  I then painted a thin coat of Old White over the top.  I love how this sands up with the electric sander--so rustic and shabby.

I used boards under the seat and shelf for brackets, and the cutest little bench was created, quite simply I might add.
