Thrifty Find

This is my Wm Rogers silver tray I got for $8 and gave new life after trying a method found on pinterest.

Boil enough water to immerse your piece.  Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt for every two inches of water.  Add aluminum foil to the bottom of containter, fill with boiling water, and immerse item.  Let sit.  The tanish magically transfered off the silver and onto the aluminum foil.

You will still need to polish the silver, but the black tanish is all gone, as you can see in the first photo.  The second photo is the foil after having soaking with the tarnished tray!  ~MAGIC~

Coffee Table

My current project is a coffee table made from an old door.  This is how the poor thing began.  I know, sad right! It is completely assembled now and I'm finishing up painting it.  It looks great!  I can't wait to get pictures posted.















Painting in progress.  I chose a dark chocolate color for the legs and a creamy turquoise color for the top.  It looks great in my space.  I just need to clean my living room and get some pictures of my master piece.  I must admit that I had quite a bit of help from my wonderful husband on the assembly.  Thanks my darling!
