Stairs In The Art Barn

  Hello Dear Blogging Sisters!

Well, last Friday I went down to Home Depot
 and bought some lumber and added a staircase
 to one of my two storage lofts in the Art Barn. 
Yes, I did it myself . . . 
I'm becoming quite handy these days.

The stairs and the railing, 
using only scrap lumber for the posts in the railing, 
came to under $45.  
 Not bad for being able to use this 
space much more creatively. 
On the far left where the curtains are,
I didn't add railing.

I want to be able to get larger items 

up there if I need to.

This is the space before painting,

that's another project on my plate :)

I will be using the other loft now
for most of my storage.

I’ll still need a ladder to get up there 

(at least for now).  

 I also found these two items to re-purpose. 
  The little metal candle holder was 99 cents at Goodwill 
and the pie pan was 25 cents at a yard sale. 

  After dry brushing with white paint and...

 gluing them together

 I now have a cute little stand 
for sewing or art supplies.  

Just keeping it cute :)

I hope that you are all having a lovely week.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
