"Extraordinary" An Art Jewelry Box


BEFORE:
 While this is actually another box before her makeover, you get the gist of how average and unexciting, uninspired and plain this piece was.  I guess I spaced out on actually taking a before shot.  I must get better at this.  I just get so obsessed with getting to work, I can't wait sometimes.



AFTER:
The makeover was extreme.
 All sides got a groovin' new look ala' Mucha and other deco inspired Diva's






The paper had a big role in giving this box some bling.  I love the pattern on each side.  It turned out rather beautiful.  What do you think?  Too Mucha?  Too little?  Just the right amount of wrong?


Thanks for your visit. Peace Kelly

Ideas For DIY Garden Art

These dead trees have burned in patterns. I think this is so amazing! A beautiful succulent topiary lady. This one cracks me up! An old window and some dollar store beads and voila, a shimmering wall hanging. These mosaic columns are made from pvc piping scraps.  Pretty awesome! Got glass?  Now here is a cool reuse, make garden totems. Adorable little gnome house. A bundle of sticks make the base of these simple Zen looking pillars. Love the wabi sabiness of these! Save those lids and caps from your recycling and make a cute owl.  So simple. If you have a bunch of old hardware, bottle caps, hub caps, metal scraps, etc you too can make this fence or wall decoration. STAY GROOVY - Kelly

Barn Mural Revealed

Image
My huge white barn got the royal makeover these past couple of days when my girlfriend came to visit and help me with this massive project. My gal pal hard at work!  She even provided some of the exterior paint.... She rocks! We tried a bit of shading but it just didn't look good.  We ended up covering it up and going with simple clean lines. My bestie, Kelly O.  She worked her ass off and enjoyed every minute of it... Maybe it was the beer! Side angle view. The rest of the white will get a coat of tan to match the house trim. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  It turned out better than I thought it would! Thanks to Kelly, not many people would spend their short vacation painting barns for friends, she is amazing and talented.  I love love love the new look!!!!

BEFORE This buffet/sideboard needed a significant attitude adjustment.  I loved the detail on the front but the chipped and peeling veneer was an eyesore....  Ooh, I know just what this needs... AFTER Now with a sophisticated black and white themed look with some sassy red knobs, this could be a multipurpose piece... Think Bar, Buffet, etc etc. Meet my newest creation... "SPEAKEASY". Detail on middle drawers.  Would you like Cabernet or Zin? No bar is complete without the music...(side cabinet door details)
