DIY Refinished bookshelf!

Painted and stenciled this old book shelf today.  Been wanting to for a while so I just did it and I love it!  My first time stenciling and its trickier than I thought.  I should have started from bottom up but nonetheless I'm happy with it :) Next up, refinish coffee table.

How to make a photo collage with twine from an old window.



Finished my latest Pinterest project and it came out perfect! Have you ever wanted to try a project using an old window but afraid you can't do it?  Well give it a try, its so easy!  Here is a turorial.    
For this project I used an old window frame from my parents house that was in the attic for at least 40 years. Cleaned it up and painted it with a Tiffany blue color that was left over paint from my daughters room then added the twine using a staple gun to the back of the frame. Then I added a hook thing in the back so I could hang it up.  Not sure if I should add some flowers on one corner or not to give it something extra however; I do like it the way it is.
