Showing more winnings…..And Transformation Thursday

I'm joining The Shabby Chic Cottage's Transformation Thursday party. Go check out more ideas and inspirations here.

Today, I am showing you the transformation of my coffee table decor and showing you more of my winnings from Chester and Donkey.

You can see more here and here.

If you missed everything I won, you can see them here.

For years, YEARS, my coffee table looked like this:

Boring huh!? Recently, I decided it will be constantly changing, along with other venues around my house. Thanks Blogland!

Here is what it looks like now:

Notice the orange 'vase' that was part of my winnings. I love this table now.

And believe it or not, these things don't get bothered by little toddler hands.

Whew.

Thanks for stopping in!

Good Will Frame- $1.25 total and Announcement!!

Of course, I am joining the party at The Shabby Chic Cottage. Please check out the site for more great ideas!!!

This is the frame, before. I picked it up at Good Will for .25! I didn't like the gold nor the picture, so here is my Transformation Thursday Project this week.

I spray painted it with one of my new favorite colors by Krylon- Bahama Sea.

I am not really a 'blue person' but really liked the color of this paint.

Then, I rubbed (with a paper towel) some craft paint in Metallic Bronze (another new favorite). I almost sanded the frame to let the gold show through, but wasn't sure how that would turn out w/this 'nice' gold plastic frame, so I replicated the feel w/the paint.

Then, I cut some scrapbook paper (had on hand) and did an "A" stencil with black craft paint.
here is sits in my kitchen window. Even hubby said he liked the transformation (AND he noticed the small touch.)

Thanks for stopping in!

Oh, and as if this little transformation wasn't enough excitement for you......let me announce something!

Cheri from It's So Very Cheri is doing a weekly home tour every Friday. This week, she is featuring yours truly. Yes, me. And yes, my house can clean up nicely most of the time even with Irish Twins.
