SNS #6 highlights and show news Tuesday

Greetings! How about a little morning inspiration for all of you from SNS #6?



Adorable picket fence headboard by Jentility. It's authentic too!!



An old window frame becomes a hairclip holder, by Poplar Porch. Sweet idea!



Isn't this fabulous? It's a decopaged and hand painted picture overtop an old picture by Sleepyhead Designs.



Mustard Seed Creations shows us a glimpse of an amazing Pottery Barn inspired mural. I can't wait to see the rest!

Show Update: I've been busy getting last minute things tied up.



Do you know what this is?!? It's my bedskirt! The brand new one I've had in my armoire for about 2 years now? I had my son help me lug the mammoth king mattress off the bed so I could gitter done! I even ironed it. :) (that's a big deal btw)



Look! The ulgy brass lock is now an ugly rusty looking flat black lock that matches the not ugly at all authentic doorknob on my door headboard! Yay! That brass thing was screaming at me. And the reason I didn't remove the lock is because the screws were rusted in position, and I stripped the screws trying, (arg!!) so here it stays.

Now will you be angry at me for a couple of teaser photos? The above two were so boring! (although exciting for me)



Here's the way my tree looks. I found burlap garland, beefy great stuff! And can you guess what those white things are? Go ahead. Guess. If you guessed white torn up sheets, you are right! I have more secrets to share about my tree too, next week.



Remember my sign headboard? This is how it's looking these days. The playroom is cute! Will share more on that too.  Now the reason for these teaser photos are because I truely didn't have time to do a full photo shoot of all the rooms.  I was busy...



... folding these. Foldfoldfoldfoldfoldfold...

I do have to say. My buddy Dan suggested I pull my tripod out and actually USE it. So I did. And I have to tell you, there was no need to sharpen the pics. I'm sold! So that's why I really have some pics on here. I had to try it out, quick like!

Ok, off to foldfoldfoldfoldfoldfold...

    Hey Catherine! Found the burlap garland from Michael's! Cheap, at $6@. I was stunned. I didn't know Canada was that with it. :) I bought the last two rolls in our area, so it must be a good seller.

    Everything is looking so fly! I could see your little 'biz card' ornament :o)

    And I was gonna guess the white strip was toilet paper. But then although you are the queen of funky junk, I figured that would be um, really funky in a not-so-cute way...

    Oooh gotta go look at the decoupaged painting. I painted some ugly brass hinges with hammered steel spray paint, LOVE the way they turned out!

    HaHa, glad you ironed the bedskirt!
    Loving the peek at your tree. I haven't been able to find burlap ribbon, so I used drop cloth/muslin strips instead.
    Everything is coming together nicely.
