A re-do and a microwave cover!

First off, I just wanted to send a thank you to CHERYL for the awesome picture frame that I won during her birthday giveaway week. I havent been able to get a picture because Kindle grabbed it out of my hands no sooner than I had it opened from its pretty black and white wrapping:)

Second, more thank yous about finding the masonry nails. I had NO clue thats what they were called. I have some patterns that call for them so I thought, Ill check ebay! Thank you to all who commented on where to find them. I picked up a few boxes yesterday of 2 different sizes and have them rusting as we speak!

Now, here is ONE of my re-dos. I got this from GW last week for $2.99.






Psssssssst: I had a heck of a time trying to get the right light for my pics this morning to capture the true color of the piece. I ended up taking 100 pictures of my micro cover in all!
I have a bunch more to post but Im having a heck of a time finding them a home in order to take "pretty pics". Ill work on that this week some!!


And finally this...................

My microwave cover built by my brother Nick!!! I painted and stained it and have been playing around with a home for it. I didnt realize just how big it is until I set it on my counter. I dont have much counter space in my kitchen so for NOW, this is where it will stay:)





Ive had a few ask to see pictures of the inside, I hope this isnt too dark.
If it is, let me know! I wanted pics without the flash because the flash on my camera is SO bright it brightens out the true colors.

If you get a chance, could you show a pic of it Open? I love it, and like Beth says..."oh no! another thing to open" would maybe send the boys over the edge", but they are big,,,,LOL

Jenn, I love the micro cover and the candle shelf! You did a great job on it. Did you paint and distress the micro cover too? It looks awesome!
I had to laugh at Beth's comments, because I can just hear Steve fussing about the same thing! :D But I'd tell him that he would get over it! :D
Have a great Sunday!
