Fab Finds, and Projects from The Red Shed

I promised I'd show you what I got at the Red Shed and what I did with it, so here ya go.
I picked up this wonderful old chippy screen. In a beautiful shade of blue.

Actually this is the back of it, because I've already started working on it. I've added a couple of shelves. I'm sure I'll do something more, and I'll need to paint the shelves, but you can see where I'm going with this project.

And I picked up a couple of these spindles, I can always use spindles. These have a real pretty shape.

And my favorite find were these hooks with numbers on them.

I attached them to this old chippy cabinet door frame that I had, I added a glass knob and put some empty frames in the spaces. I love how it turned out.

I was talking to Christy from Oklahoma (see post below) when I spotted these hooks on a window sill. I had that Ah-Ha moment and couldn't snatch them up fast enough. Then I asked Michelle if she had any more and she brought out the 7. After I mounted them I realized I had a 2,4,and 7 for 24-7. Very appropriate for mom's, who are always on duty 24-7.
