I love it...it's awesome. I have wanted to make a table for my dining room out of a door...love the legs on this. Thanks for sharing!

If they have layers of chippy paint I would leave them! You can still use them as plant stands outside...they are wonderful as they are!

Love this so much! Awesome! Awesome...did I say Awesome? LOL

Alice...I use those little silver trays too to make necklaces...aren't they the best! I have also used vintage aluminum childrens plates (play sets), and they are fun too! Chunky necklaces are in this year on the fashion scene!

Another idea...if you don't have the rub on letters you could glue anagram letters (old game pieces) or scrabble pieces! You could also print them out on your computer...type in scary free fonts and there are some awesome ones out there!

Last Christmas I had a small pink tree at my booth where I sell. I hung doll arms and legs from pink ric rac and put a doll head as the topper. The lady working thought I was crazy, but I sold the "ornaments" and "topper" right away. I collect doll heads and old scary looking dolls. Freaks my poor kids out...but I love it!

I'm loving this idea. I might take some wood and do that same trick and hang it on the wall. Cool!

I have one like that and I put white lights inside her and white clothes and it's like a lamp. I love it. Best part is I bought mine for $10 at a garage sale. Can't beat that!

There is a lady who started a non-profit to make over shelters and things like that. It's a great thing! Keep up the good work!

Oh do I wish I could Geo! I need a break from all these babies though...it would be more fun just to come alone. (Oh, I'm dreaming though).

This is so awesome! Love it!

I just made one that is almost 5 feet tall. It had an awesome ornate shabby chic frame that I painted out white and distressed. The print was ugly and I just painted the chalkboard paint right over it! I love chalkboards and they sell well in my space that I rent.

What an awesome chair...one of a kind and absolutely wonderful. Great job!

Mimitoria...I actually use the cardboard that's already in a picture frame. This Monday I bought an ugly old home interior picture from the 70's. It had a cardboard picture of sunflowers, but the frame was awesome. I just used chalkboard paint and painted it right over the picture and reattached it to the frame when done. I painted the frame white and distressed it and sealed it with Briwax. The wax takes the brightness of the white down. It is so cute and headed to my booth tomorrow.

You know I love it! Wish I could be there in person to see it!

This is a really neat project...I'm loving it! What a creative mind you have! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed the segment also...left me wanting more. My book also came in the mail today, so it was a double good day! Keep up the great work!

I can't really say there are rules. I pair you up with a partner and have guidelines. Each swap is different. I am still brainstorming about what this swap will be like. Does that help?

Very pretty...all of them. They all look great! Can't wait for spring to really get here!

For those posting...if you're in you need to email me at vintagemama4@live.com with all your info. Name, address, city/state and zip code. It would be helpful to know what decor style you like. Thanks!

Sue...don't know if you emailed, but I haven't received anything yet. Just to let you know! Rachel

I love all your ideas...I do up my front yard with stuff like you. I drug home a pink iron headboard/footboard and my husband was like, "you're not putting that in the yard!" Yeah right! It was so cute and everybody loved it. Thanks for the inspirational ideas!

What an awesome project. Who knew you could make something so awesome with something like that. I am so jealous. I would love to have that in my yard. Very creative!

How about painting them out (or leave them) and take some old hooks and put them on. They would make unique coat hangers. You could do it with them both and hang them side by side on your wall. Nice statement and organizational peice.

I'm so in love with it. I miss having a front porch/garden room like that. Thanks for the inspiration! Can't say enough...LOVE IT!

These are so pretty. I love the idea so much!

What a beautiful way to wrap up your gifts. These are so pretty! Great idea!

I like your style...very unique and funky!

It really does look like a wedding cake piece. I love it. What a cute idea!

We will be remodeling our bathroom and I think I will be doing this project...ok, more like my husband! Thanks for the great idea!

Love the ideas! You always have great things to share!

Now that is one barktacular collar! Such a neat idea. Great job!

It looks awesome Lani! Love the little embellishment to your towel! Now where would you get something like that? I hope you like that necklace...neat idea to string up with a towel. I love your decorating style...it's great!

My husband took an old crib and made it into a toddler bed. He painted it white and left the decal. It turned out very cute!

I love this idea! I would love to see your whole house. I bet it's wonderful. Thank you for the inspiration!

I love all your projects! Everything is so great! Keep up the great work!

Oops...sorry...posted twice! LOL

It looks good on you Georgia! You stylish woman! Those gold tarnished coins are in plenty here. My friend sent me some and I asked her to get me some more. She sent me 108 of them.(They came from Hunt and Gather in the cities!) So, I'll be making necklaces for awhile. I love taking junk and making fun and unique jewelry. I've sold a few pieces at church...they are the ones that got me going on making jewelry. I made my own and they liked it and asked me to make some and sell them at church. A side business...that I may never have started without their encouragement! Thanks for being a great friend and inspiration Georgia!

Georgia...Georgia...I just bought a mirror like that yesterday. Now I have a new project for the hubby. I have a wall of mirrors in my bedroom...now I need to find some picket fence and attach the mirror and add it to the wall. Thanks for the idea. I might just have to send you another piece of jewelry...Rachel Knoblich

This idea is really good. Wouldn't be surprised if you win. Love it!

Georgia...you are too funny! Love it...but I don't have much of a garden to use one of those! Maybe someday? Good job...loving it!

Hey Georgia...I make things like that too. I did some my friend who has a little girl named Ella and she needed some decor when they bought their first home. I didn't take pics of them...but my friend Wendy (she Ella's mom) is a professionally photographer, so I'm going to ask her to photograph them for me.
I love your creation! You are a multi-talented woman! Rachel

I like this idea too! I want to see pics of your house though...I can see a little in the background and I want more!

Come to SD and make me one! LOL You are good!

Great house...I miss living in our 100 year old home. Can't wait to move again. I hate living in newer homes!

I sell at this flea market...LOOK FOR CHIPPY COTTAGE CHARM

We bought our first home 6 years ago. It was 100 years old and the windows needed updating. We had a huge picture window in our living room that had a small piece on top and a large piece on bottom. When they took the windows out they asked if we wanted to keep any. The top piece to our picture window was white and chippy and my husband kept it for me. We had to move about a year ago and we took that window with us. I framed a beautiful and unique piece of quilt from a cutter quilt. It now hangs in our living room and it will always be with us. We will always carry a piece of our first house with us. It is a special and cherished piece that will remind us of the house I considered my "dream home".
