Re-Purpose Re-Style!

Hello Friends!

As you have seen in Little Ones, I do a feature called KerrieCan that shows readers how I "make things out of things". Well, I am beyond excited to have been chosen as one of 8 designers to Re-Style a room for a Habitat for Humanity fund raiser. I get to shop for 3 weeks in the Mooresville and Cornelius Re-Stores and then get 2-days to set up my room. The rooms will be on display May1st at 6:30pm at the Mooresville Re-Store. The room I chose is a reading and writing room- with the theme "The Power of Words".  My plan is to bring you along for the ride! My first project will be a floor lamp created out of an old porch umbrella. Next- I will take the fabric from the umbrella and create a valance to go with the curtains that I make from a set of sheets! As I move along, I hope to post photos of the parts and pieces that will make up the room. Here are a couple of photos of my "stuff" - stay tuned to see how it all turns out!

Take Care,
Kerrie
