Step Right Up!

Happy 2013!

Wow, it sure is hard to believe that a brand new year has arrived already, isn't it?

I am so ready to be out with the old, and in with the new!

How 'bout you?

This time of year, I love to focus not only on organizing and purging (some trips to take donations to the thrift store are in order!), but I also like finding some fun to projects to begin!

So, I'd like to share with you today two of my latest, which I've added to my Etsy shop. Well, actually I must give my handy hubby credit for these, as he was the builder, and I was the painter/distresser!

 Isn't this step stool neat?  When I told hubby my idea, this is what he came up with.  It is super sturdy, and has a fun vintage feel to it, I think!

 I painted it a bright and cheery aqua, followed by a bit of distressing.  This is one step stool that you don't have to hide in the closet!

 Hubby even added a nifty cut out on the back side for easy moving and lifting.

 Next, he built this adorable little mini step stool.  I think it's so cute!

 I painted it a shade similar to the larger one.

It would also make a sweet bench for a child, or a fun place to display treasures, I think!

 I'm so glad that I have a handy husband!

 I've also commissioned him to build some coat hook wall shelves, which we've both been busy working on.

I'll share them with you another time.

Here is wishing you a peaceful and creative new year!
