Little projects like this are the ones I seem to get the biggest kick out of.....they are the closest to instant gratification. I adore instant gratification...it keeps me going with the bigger projects. FOCUS CHERRY...FOCUS. I almost got rid of this little metal frame....than I got an idea to spray paint it and add a little nest charm to the middle. A little scrapbook paper to the back and it is done. It will be cute in my new bedroom. The little wood bird was found INSIDE the cigar box You see above....you know I LOVE me a cigar box...... today at a garage sale. The cigar box..said ".50....mystery box....take as is"..(I am a sucker for a good mystery)....Inside was a bunch of old seashell soap and a very strange little turtle made from seashells...NO KIDDING> MYSTERY SOLVED...... OHH and this wood bird. I kept the wood bird and sprayed her my fave red. I nestled her amongst my kitchen knick knacks.
I have had this ottoman for eons...so I sprayed her and covered the animal print with some burlap. It will also go in the bedroom. Now as many of you I was intrigued with this chicks http://thehappyhomebody.blogspot.com/2009/06/framed-pear-project.html adaptation of fruit...halved and framed. Too cute! So I did my own little version..with what the heck else??? A cherry! I love it.....Thank-you Angie for the inspiration.
Well I have held off long enough....I got more paint yesterday.....I need to get back to finishing up the paint in the bedroom. You all have a wonderful weekend......XOXO, Cherry

I LOVE the freshness you can bring to items with a new paint colour or an embellishment or two. I LOVE the halved cherry in the frame and the burlap mixed with the metal on the stool.
Your 4th of July items are wonderful. I have 5 vintage flag prints---one is the same as yours! I line them up on our mantel--and so enjoy the look of all of the flag prints in their variety of old frames.
Hope you have a great weekend. Dana
Cherry what a busy bee you have been! The bird is so cheery and cute and I love the frame- oh and the stool- love the burlap-a surprise use of fabric -looks great!

What fantastic makeovers - I really love that stool - it justs looks so fresh with the coat of paint - I love painting frames as well as I think it gives them a new lease of life and costs next to nothing :) xxxxx
Everything looks great, as usual. I really love the ottoman, the burlap is perfect. I would have definitely bought the "mystery box" too. I love stuff like that. :)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great time in Florida!!! I know, who could ever resist that lighthouse!?!?!?! I have at least 20 pictures of it!
Cherry, these are great! You know good and well and that we would have loved a separate post about each one of these--and you treated us to all this fun in one post!
I'm with you on the instant gratification. It's just so nice to get a project to COMPLETION. Actually, I kind of feel that way about some household chores, like cleaning the bathroom counter. To me it's so nice to see the fruit of my labors.
Thank you for sharing these fun projects.
Wonderful as always!
You have amazing spray gun abilities, and a wonderful eye to know just want to paint! You just made me want to go spray paint everything in my house! All of your things came out so great!
So much fun to come over and visit your website...you always have fresh ideas and I just love everything your hands touch!
If you open your front door and find a truckload of my posessions, just remember I like instant gratification too, and I really like when I meet someone who can perform magic on my old pieces...so feel free to go about transforming. Your post was so interesting and so beautifully done. You could have your own giftshop.
Hey Cherry Girl! How Keeeute...I love the new red bird and I love what you can do to a frame! We should call you the frame queen...because you do the cutest things with frames! I love it!

Debbie
