Something to hold onto

I guess it's one of those necessities in a house, and yet so plain and ugly. In a new cookie cutter house everyone on the block has the same one, also.
So, here is the before - plain and boring right?
After a few shakes of the magical spray paint wand or can whatever you may call it, this is the new lovely darker hand rail.

The Life of a Kitchen Island

My kitchen island has yet a new additive to her boring life. After much scouring and thrift store combing I finally found some corbels for the support she needs.
First the bare nakedness of her start in this life of hers.


Second, a little make-up to her face, not much of a change just a little.



Third, her latest addition.

She looks so pretty all dressed up.

Like winning on the penny slots

I imagine this is like winning the jackpot on the penny slot machines, it's a great excitement but maybe a bit small to require a full on jumping and yelling scene.

But hey, I found one, everyone else has one and now I have one of my very own. It may be small but it's a start. It was a thrift store find to top it all off, too.

I feel like summer is over once the kiddies are back in school, but hey better late than never. So, now I can check off one more thing on my to-do list.
