ReStore

Happy Thursday my lovelies.

These are the Before and After pictures from my time with Gwen

today at the

Matthews Habitat ReStore

Sorry for the fuzzy Before picture from the

Left Side of the room and the Bookcase.

The After picture of the styled Bookcase

This is the After Picture from the Left Side of the Room.

The drapes are more clearly seen.

The lamp on the table is one in a set. (See Below)

Close up of those cherub lamps. Someone had painted them pink and

we thought they went with the

Pink Sofa.

We found this Pink lampshade on a different lamp

and reused it here.

The fabric table covering is made up of four cafe curtain panels.

This is the Before picture from the Right Side of the Room.

This is the After from the Right Side.

We hung drapes in the corners and used tiebacks.

The clock doesn't work, but it makes a great piece of art.

We moved this pink antique sofa in front of the window and

brought in another sofa from the room we styled last week.

Assorted pillows from the pillow bin brought the colors together.

This is the coffee Table After we styled it.

The glass had sticky tape residue and multiple attempts

to remove those pesky, sticky pieces of

packer's tape were unsuccessful.

After hunting around the cleaning closet, I tried this product.

Believe it or not, it worked perfectly.

I think I'll add this product to my grocery list.

That's our project for this week, my lovelies.

I can hardly believe how these random items

came together so well.

I'm gaining so much knowledge from Gwen on how to

use what's at hand

to

create something beautiful and useful

in order to bless others.

All of this is a great reminder

to use what the Lord has placed in our hands

to bless others.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,

not for men,

since you know that you will receive and inheritance

from the Lord as a reward.

It is the Lord Christ you are serving.Colossians 3:23-24

I hope you'll share your experiences on

creating beauty and blessing others.
