A Fabulous Feature

...

Today I'm featuring Jen from her blog Livin' The Simple Life. She's a self proclaimed country gal from Texas, as well as a pro at Furniture Rescue, Diy Projects, and Painting! Swing by her blog to say hello when you get the chance because she's got a lot of great ideas and inspirations for you to Ooooh and Aaaah over. Here are a couple of her latest projects that actually made my heart skip a beat!

This project started as an old headboard. Yup, this baby is dark and dated!

Jen re purposed this piece into a totally one of a kind coat rack. I love this idea, talk about thinkin' outside the box!

And here it is finished...what a pretty and functional piece! And just look at this nail head trim, I love this added detail.

For this next project Jen made a custom wine rack buffet. And she started with this simple wine rack below that she picked up for just $30.

First she painted it black. Wow, that couldn't have been easy. Just look at all those wood pieces...Jen obviously has patience too!

Next, she used a leftover piece of ply wood stained with two colors of dark stain, and laid it across the top of the wine rack. Yup, that's it...how easy is that?

And finally she attached carved wood moulding spray painted black, with finishing nails. And be still my heart...here it is finished! I'm tellin' ya...this project is one of my all time favorites! It's thrifty n' chic, and super easy...all the things I love about Diy!

Great job Jen...you are one fabulous Diyer, and I can't wait to see more of your fabulous creations!
