I screwed in curtain finials to hang things from. VERY CHEAP.
As per norm...things always take longer than you think. I don't even make promises to myself as to when my studio might be complete. However things have been coming along. I have a long to do list....and as the craft list gets shorter the laundry pile gets bigger...something always gets neglected. Today I thought I would share the odds and ends that did get done. I got this little bureau at a church bazaar last Summer. I painted it awhile back but just got the little feet on it today. It is in the craft room now decked out with a few little LOVE touches. I found the little angel wings at Walmart after Christmas for .25 cents and I thought...perfect for Valentines Day. I painted them red and glittered them and hot glued them to a little Victorian heart I got at JoAnns. Now that whole little grouping just makes me smile!
I also got my shelf freshly painted. The shelf and the little brackets came from a thrift store , both the shelf and brackets ran me a whole 1.00. I added some curtain finials (which I already had)...just screwed them into the bottom part of the shelf. Now I have places to hang things. I like to pick up old wooden hangers when I can and I use them to display my scrapbook layouts. I just switch them out when the mood strikes me. The basket hangs on the middle finial...it is full of fun stuff. I have a thing for old stationary when I come across it. Of course I had to make a heart for in here...(I think I will give this one to my hubby...see it says (SWEETHEART)Pstttt don't worry he won't even notice it....he is oblivious to such things. So that is it for now. I am exhausted..did not sleep last night. xoxo, cherry

It's getting closer.
All great ideas and creations. Can't wait to see what you do for St. Pat's day.

Love everything!
as always, very, very cute. I like to shop after Christmas deals and turn around and use them for Valentines day.
It all looks FABULOUS!! LOVE it!
I love all your crafts. The red glittered wings are my favorite I think! Happy Valentine's Day!
Love those glittery red wings. And what a perfect way to use those hangers that never work right on clothes!
Love all the little pretties from this post and the last one :)
I love everything as always LOL.
So pretty!!

I *love* your little bureau. I recently bought a very shabby one but if I ever see one that looks like yours, I am going to buy it also. So cute and crafty you are!
As usual, love it all! You are one busy woman!! How on earth do you do it all?!?!
I love all your Valentines crafts! I also really like your shelf with the finials you added~ beautiful! :)
I totally know what you mean about things taking longer than you think...in fact, I just said about the same thing talking about my dining room! :) Have a great night, hopefully with plenty of sleep this time! :)
I love everything!
It looks wonderful!

Beautiful creations! I, too, am a scrapbooker and I love the idea of displaying them on pant hangers and then being able to switch them up when you want...so clever! Thanks for sharing! Fun blog.
Hi Cherry! I have been planning on using some wooden hangers to put up some pictures in my laundry room...great minds think alike!
Very pretty! I love how you repurposed the wings with glitter. The little chest looks great with the feet!
Everything looks so pretty, as always :)!! You're so creative, love all the hearts!
I love everything you have done. Just to cute. mishelle
Good morning Cherry Girl....I laughed at your comment that your husband is oblivious to such things. My sweet farmer hubby is also oblivious...until he steps on a blob of hot glue or a needle then he is aware 'suddenly'....love the finials on the shelf...what a brilliant (had to come from a woman) idea!!!
Blessings,
Debbie
The little drawer set, the silver bird on the box and especially the red glittered wings....ah, bliss! :D

Those wings are so cute! They look great on the valentine. Very cute ideas as always!

Cherry, just change your name to Mrs. Creativity or Mrs Bundle of energy. You would be a great poster girl for a vitamin company, speaking of which ,could you please just send me a little bit of your energy? Love your new creations, and the little feet really made a difference.
Have a restful(HA!) evening.
Jean in Virginia
I love all your pictures! That dresser turned out so cute with the feet!
Girlfriend -- YOu are the Queen of display -- all I am asking is please share a little of that energy -- or Ya gotta go to bed and sleep instead of making everything so so beautiful lol -
Blessings - Kathy - ga

Miss Cherry...I received my heart and valentine goodness from you today...thank you so much....Love them both! sneaky you! I am hoping that my computer and camera will cooperate...I want to post them tomorrow! Hey, is that beadboard painted red I saw in your post today? If so....can we see a picture of more? I am in the process of stripping wallpaper in my dining room (yes...have to before I start my kitchen island) and can't decide between painting the walls Blonde by SW or a beautiful rich red....I also am considering beadboard.....Hmmmmm
Thanks again you rock!
OMGosh! All soooo lovely!!
You are just so creative and smart! Everything you did is wonderful. laurie
I LOVE IT! You did a wonderful job on it, as always!!! I love your valentine crafts!!!! Always such great inspiration!
Very pretty!
You are the only friend that I know of that could take old wooden pant hangers and do something so creative with them, that I want to go find some. God certainly blessed you with an abundance of creativity. I am thankful that He did.
Oh my goodness Cherry...you win, hands down, on the cutest heart with wings. : ) You ALWAYS think outside the box. I LOVED everything in this post. Thank you for your ongoing flow of inspiration! AND I loved the picture of your kitchen and beautiful black island in the post below.
Speaking of craft studios...I did a post about mine last (October I think). If you have the patience to scroll back, it was titled "Presto-Chang-o...My Craft Studio". One of these day soon, I need to have an archive list on the side of my blog page.
Take care!
My goodness you've got some wonderful ideas! How creative you are. ♥
Cherry, I forgot to say I LOVE SEEING MORE PICS OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! I have ALWAYS loved your home and glad to see it!!! Show us some more!! WOOO HOOO!!!!

SO CUTE!!! I love your decor! It looks great, and I adore the hanger idea for scrapbook-y pages. They are just old wooden hangers??
Blessings,
Megan
I love all of your Valentine goodies! You're so creative!
Cherry, I am so in love with the box with the bird on it. I have a question. Did you make it? If you did , what was it that you did? I really like it alot!
Jennifer
What a beautiful blog! So happy I found you!
Love the pant hangers. I saw them in county living magazine. Loved them there too! Your little chest of drawers is awesome I have been watching for one. But haven't found it yet. :( I'll just have to keep looking! :)

Great job on your creations. I love that silver glittery birdy.. too sweet..
Please visit me.. I have an award for you.

Those little angel wings are precious - how creative & cute! And the finials on the little chest were such a great idea. Hope you get some rest this weekend :)
Oh my...I am in love with everything! I especially love the silver glittery bird. :) You are very inspiring. I doubt I will get to ANY Valentine's crafts this year though.
I'm just a lurker coming out of hiding :) and wanted you to know how much I love your blog and all of the pretties you create! We collect so many of the same things - it's always a pleasure to visit your blog.
