At Home for Christmas

This post brought to you by At Home. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Denise... On a Whim.

I am the first to admit that I love, love, LOVE Christmas decorations!

When I heard about a store called At Home, and found out there was one in my area,

I jumped at the chance to check it out!

First I texted my friend, Michelle, to see if she'd want to go shopping with me.

Turns out, At Home is a store she totally loves so she said YES and we made a date!

Chippy Reclaimed Wood Table

Sometimes I sit on a piece of junk or, in this case,
a piece of chippy old wood, for ages before I finally decide on the right repurpose for it.
I've had this fabulous chippy, aqua piece of wood for some time and I finally got around to making a table out of it!

Rusty Industrial Side Table

I created this fun little side table with a metal piece from a factory
that had been sitting in my garage, collecting just the right amount of rust!

Contemporary Rustic Vegetable Bin Makeover

This vegetable bin is something a friend of mine picked up at a yard sale.
It started out with an outdated country style but
with a few new doors and some paint, it's now a modern-rustic piece!

A Housewarming Gift and A Custom Sign for Another Friend

A few weekends ago, I went to a housewarming party at a wonderful little cottage on the lake.

My friend's son and his girlfriend bought a house and, after remodeling most of it, finally got to move in. Emily, the lady of the house, has great taste!

After having seen the way she decorated the house, I chose to make them this sign from a piece of an old wine barrel that my friend had given me.

Sweet Little Bench Makeover

Sometimes my friends want me to make them something and we work out a little trade.

That's exactly how I acquired this bench.

I made 2 small pallet signs for a friend and I got this bench to paint and sell.

So paint it, I did!
