pinsperation



I am sure we have all been there, cruising through pinterest appreciating, liking, and repining. Then something comes out of no where causing wild eyed stares, full faced grins and dare I say heart palpitations (okay maybe we all haven't been there, and maybe I am exaggerating a little; but who says I can't use dramatic license from time to time?).  So are you dying to see what this uber-pinspiration is???

Well hold onto your socks people cause here it is:
 
I will never pass up another set of wooden salt & peppers at the thrift stores again... #diy

Listen, you, don't give me an unenthused eye roll.

Admit it, these are darn tootin cute (and I don't pull that kinda language out willy-nilly).  Even better is that these are so accessible: we could all hit our local thrift store tomorrow and find some wooden S&P, so how do you like it now???

Well, regardless, I love them. I love them so much I did up my own.


sorry for the terrible pic...

I'm telling you, I love the results. My S&P went from blah to beautiful in no time. Only issue is that in my haste to diversify my colour palate, I used a colour that doesn't exactly go with my kitchen. So these little guys are going on the chopping block - or should I say selling booth.

Oh but let this be a warning to you, when you see me out thrifting don't even think about getting between me and the wooden S&P!  

I just want to give a little thanks to Cassie at Primitive and Proper for featuring my nightstand project this week! YAY!!!!

These are so cute and they look pretty simple to do. I saw some at a shop and loved 'em. Too bad they don't match your kitchen but it will be fun to whip up another pair! I'm on the look out too!!
