Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome! All is well here on the home front.  All of the painting is done on my in-laws place. so glad that is over. I am having a more quiet time this week. I am getting ready to drive up to Pittsburgh, PA on Thursday to see my Mom. I want to drive one more time before the time change. I have a hard time driving more that a few hours once it gets dark, so this will be my last trip driving. 

I have some things for my sister that I want to take and I made her some fall items as well. We love the same things so it is easy to know what to get her. 

I hope your week is going well and enjoy your time.

Join this week’s blog hop to find inspiration from dozens of bloggers for all things home and family including crafts, decor, DIY, fashion, recipes, fitness, gardening, travel, home improvement, and so much more!

Happy Thursday!  I hope your week is going well. Mine has been very busy painting. Not my house but my in-laws new home. We started painting last Saturday and are still at it. The living room, kitchen, spare bedroom and hallway are done. We still need a second coat on the master bedroom and then there are those accent walls in both bedrooms. Of course they are dark colors and I will start them today. I know they will take several coats. Then there will be both bathrooms. I am sick of painting!

They are coming to clean the carpets on Monday so I must be done by then. Wish me luck!

Vintage Metal Gym Locker

Vintage Metal Gym Locker 

Several years ago, my friend who has an antique shop found several of these vintage metal gym lockers for me. I had them under a console table but had not used them in the new house yet. 

We had our lanai (here in Florida a screened in porch is called a lanai) enclosed with windows and a sliding door to our outside porch and pool. It is giving me a chance to fix up that room with all of the things I have had put away. 

It is a work in progress so I will be showing you parts of it as I get it done. The first thing I did was grab my metal basket to add some items to it.

First I added some covered books. I grab some old books and wrapped them in drop cloth material. I didn't want to glue the fabric so I taped it on. That seemed to work, at least for me.

On the books I places a couple of vintage ginger beer bottles. I got these in Vermont several years ago. I actually bought 4 of them for 50 cents a piece. Great deal!

Other items that I included were a printed sack, a fall candle ring and some vintage bobbins. I was just going through things I found in my garage.

I found so many items that could work but wanted to stay with fall colors.


I did have a white insulator that I added to the basket as well.

This is one of the items that I did for my new enclosed porch. I will show you the piece it is sitting on coming up next.
