Decorating with Corbels

I couldn't help but to come share! You know me and corbels. They are an awesome decorating element and I've found the most wonderful, CHEAP source for these beauties! Remember that I use them at doorway sides with standard wood planks behind, use them at the edges of cabinets and just bought two gorgeous corbels for the faux fireplace mantle I'm doing in our home in Idaho.....

Create Elegance With Gold Leaf Molding

The last project I had to finish in my elegant new bath was to do something about the worn wooden molding that surrounded the new Faux Sandstone Finish I did over my tile counter top.

Let me show you how easy it is to create beautiful moldings, frames and art with this incredible product.

Recycling that old fur coat

Yes, it's an absolute sin to kill those precious little creatures to create new fur coats just so we can look "glam". But what about all the fur coats that hang in the thrift stores?
