Scrap Wood Paint Storage

 

I had all this scrap wood left over from making frames and decided

to make a shelf for some of my paints.

 

 Do you like my sander/saw? It totally cracks me up because my grandfather made this from a bunch of leftover parts he had from his machine shop (it's all scraps). My Dad gave it to me about two years ago and I just love it, mostly because my grandfather has passed away and when I use it I think of him. I bet when he was making it he never thought his granddaughter would be using it on a weekly basis.

I decided to give the shelf a white wash so the plain wood would have some kind of color.

Ta-da! My new paint storage shelf. Now I can use my old one for the larger jars.

CB2 Goodies

One of my best girlfriends JP always gives me the best gifts (thanks again, girl!). I wanted to share with you some recent gift giving goodies she gave me. First, I got this great "houses" tote which is just the best thick canvas and very roomy from CB2. 

I love the story behind this bag...the artist's name is Antonio Benjamin and it's his interpretation of San Francisco's colorful Victorian rowhouses. CB2 has a relationship with Creativity Explored, a nonprofit visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell art. CB2 gives a percentage of each bag sale to the arts center. I have a special place in my heart for people with developmental disabilities because my oldest son Jared has Autism. They are a limited edition so if you like it get it here.

Second, she got me this notebook

 

I am a notebook freak and this one is made from recycled newspapers so it's perfect. It soon will be 72 pages filled with art ideas, quotes and doodles.

I have a new clock to show you guys...

This clock really makes me smile because it is so bright. It has a super deep edge and really stands away from the wall. I ended up using some leftover wood to make it...YAY!
