Love to see what you do with those. I love red, so I think I'd paint 'em red and hang them just above a bed as a kind of headboard look. Would be interesting!!<br /><br />Linda. xHeartfire At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941112070677849231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-82432520602617825542011-07-14T06:14:16.238-04:002011-07-14T06:14:16.238-04:00Glad to see you got some mojo back.

Not sure I could have let go of the spray paint though, that must have been rough. ;)<br />Love the items you kept. Could that wooden railing be part of a portable playpen? looks like the one my mom had when we were kids.<br />Good luck with your new resolution.

It's wonderful to lose oneself in creating but not necessarily the projects and supplies!<br />I think buying (even at thrift stores) and clutter is a distraction in many peoples lives. It is hard to let go. Looking forward to seeing your tweaked master bedroom. You always do a wonderful job decorating and creating.<br /><br />Your Friend,<br />DeborahFairfield Househttp://FairfieldHouseNJ.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492363525800683157.post-48234073600146683762011-07-11T09:29:48.053-04:002011-07-11T09:29:48.053-04:00Sewing cabinet turned into Jewelry cabinet is a gr...Sewing cabinet turned into Jewelry cabinet is a great idea!

When we moved we stuffed as much of our stuff in the moving truck as we could and we gave away the rest. It felt good doing it too. Happy you are blogging again.
