Welcome to our ~Make Your House A Home~ post today. Every Saturday we post different ways we have decorated our home and other friend's homes. We have had a great response from many of you. Thank you for enjoying our posts and we look forward to sharing many more.

I absolute love benches!!! I have to admit that we don't sit on most of ours.... because I love to decorate them! I have had benches in our Master Bedroom, in the Washroom, the Family Room and the Porch. I love having them all different colors and usually the more rustic the more I love them. This post is going to show several different benches we have built. If you are looking for a bench for a certain area, we can always built it to the measurements you need.

This first bench is a Sleigh Bench. I have always loved this style. I always try to place a quilt, throw or pillow on a bench when I am decorating it. It adds a soft touch to each bench. I also placed one of our 5X7 frames on this bench. The saying on this frame is LOVE, Forever & Always. Perfect for a master bedroom.

This next Friendship Bench does not have a back on it. It has a solid base for sitting and two arm rests. This is perfect next to a wall and super fun to decorate..... Don't you love this Sweet Annie Green Color? Very warm and welcoming.

The next couple of benches were made for the outdoors. We actually used a different type of wood, paint and finish so they would last longer in the elements. These two High Back Beadboard Benches are very similar. The bench in the top picture is actually quite larger than the lower picture. The second picture (with the wreath hanging on it) was custom built for a certain area in an outside entry way. That is one GREAT thing about having us build your items, we can customize to your needs.

I love the look of the wreath hanging on the edge of the bench!

This Southern Bench is on my front porch. At the time this picture was taken, it was decorated for the 4th of July. It is really easy to decorate a bench for each holiday and season. It is usually a small area and doesn't take a lot to create a fun display. (The sunshine in this picture sure looks beautiful!!!)

This next bench is a Headboard Bench. A friend of ours brought us this headboard and we made it into a bench. Pretty cool huh? Another great friend of mine brought us the headboard she had as a little girl. We turned that into a bench and she now has it displayed in her home.

These next three benches were also made from headboards. I have posted these in previous posts, but had to include them in our Benches Post today. We have mentioned that we can paint our furniture almost any color you would like. Another great idea is putting a stain finish over top of the painted items. It give it a really beautiful, rustic look. You can see the stain finish we have placed over this blue paint. Love It!!

As you can see I have decorated all of these benches with different items. Like I mentioned before, I always add a quilt, a pillow or something with fabric to soften the bench. I have placed clocks, pictures, thoughts, twig balls, candles, flower arrangements and so much more on these benches. I love creating new displays through out my home by just moving things I already have.

We have built several benches and will be selling them on our blog. If we have made them from old headboards, they will be one of a kind benches (which is always fun)!

Thank you for sharing part of your Saturday with us for our ~Make Your House A Home~ post here at On The Avenue. Good Luck with your decorating and please remember we would love to help you make your house a home.

Thanks again,

Mandy

Saturday, February 18th

Welcome To ~Make Your House A Home~ where we share fun decorating ideas we have used in our home and some of our friends homes. This is also a fun time for us to show you several of the items we offer here at On The Avenue. The first thing I want to show you is my New Old Door!! My very sweet husband sprayed it our Sweet Annie Green, distressed it and hung it in my kitchen. We had a door there years ago and when we remodeled the kitchen we took it out. When I saw this door I just had to have it!! It is a sliding door, so it just slides behind the wall when we open it. Pretty Nifty!! We kept the old door knob and just sprayed over it. I wanted to place a big wreath on the door, but with it being a sliding door that doesn't work. I may also paint the door trim our sweet annie green also, but am still thinking about it!!!

I absolutely love this display I have placed on my piano. This is an Old Window Frame (without the glass) that another great friend gave us. We sprayed it Antique White, distressed the edges and hung this big twig wreath. I used brown burlap to attach the wreath to the frame. Isn't is awesome?? I added candle sticks (that were once brown and I sprayed antique white), an antique gold birdhouse, a couple roosters (of course) and a picture of my kids. I already had this garland along the front with white lights- Gotta have lights! I have had many of you ask where you can find old windows or doors. Keep Your Eyes Open!!! "One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure" We can also build frames or windows and make them look antiqued and old.

The next item is a very popular and fun item. I showed you this fun arrangement last week, but decided to add a Table Box into the mix! This makes it very easy to remove everything from the table for dinner. We just pick up the table box and tadaa - everything is moved. We can build these table boxes any size and spray them any color. As you can see this is a rectangle, but a square box would be cute also. I have different black accents in my kitchen so I painted this box black. Imagine the possibilities........

Here is a Set of 2 Matching Tables that look fantastic together. We painted them an antique white and put a stained finish over top of the paint. We routed lines into the front and sides of the table which took the stain really dark. Isn't this a great look? I added some grapevine twig around the top table and placed some of our hinged frames, pinecones and candles on the top. I love the look of both tables together.

Eric built this Blanket Cabinet for me years ago and I still have it in my home. It is a very simple piece and great for storing blankets. The top lid opens for storage and the two false drawers on the front really add a chunky look. We distressed all the edges of this piece. Thanks honey!! I Love It!

Thanks for joining us today for our ~Make Your House A Home~ post. Remember.... we can build just about anything!!!! If you have something in mind, email us a picture. We would love to take a look at it and quote it for you!!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend! We will have a New Drawing Winner, a New Drawing Item and a NEW SALE item posted tomorrow. www.ontheavenuelogan.blogspot.com

Saturday, February 11th
Good Morning Friends and Welcome to ~Make Your House A Home~. This is our fun Saturday post that allows you to see some of the fun ways we have decorated our home and other friends homes. We love to give you easy tips and fun ideas in these posts. Take a minute and enjoy and thank you for sharing part of your day with us at On The Avenue.....This goes along with the post we made last week about using older items in your decor. This is a set of Rustic Shutters I absolutely fell in love with. We brought them home from the thrift store, sanded them, sprayed them distressed multiple parts and TaDaa! Aren't they beautiful? I hung a handmade fabric runner and a twig wreath with berries on it. I think these would be so much fun in a Master Bedroom or a Girl's Room. Imagine the possibilities?

I Absolutely LOVE Rustic Wood Furniture. I remember being in 6th grade and seeing a wooden box that students could build if they took woods class in 7th grade. I was so excited, I signed up for that woods class in 7th grade and made that beautiful box. (Thanks to the help of my woods teacher). I also had a love of decorating and moving the furniture around in my bedroom. I moved our dresser (with a large mirror on top) so many times, that the screws stripped out of the back of the mirror which held the mirror to the dresser. My dad wasn't too happy and I surely don't blame him. So pretty much my passion for furniture and decorating started at a very early age. I am so grateful I married someone who could help me bring all of this to life. He actually didn't find his talent of building furniture until after we were married. Pretty cool how things work out isn't it? So for the rest of today's post I am going to share some of my favorite pieces of furniture that we have built. Some are in my home and other pieces are in some of your homes. So here we go.......

I Love the beds we build. We have built more than I can count, but this was the first bed Eric made for me (it is now the red one we posted a few weeks ago). We build all sizes of beds and have made so many different styles. If you are looking for a bed for your room or a child's room, let us know. We would love to add a little of our style to your home.

I LOVE this Beautiful Kitchen Hutch!!! It is beautiful and I really was sad to see it leave our shop and not appear in my kitchen. The drawers are all functioning drawers and the two side upper cabinets have glass. It is an amazing piece!

Don't you love this beautiful RED Color? This is one of our TV/Armoire Pieces. We met some of the nicest people when we owned our store. We met a sweet lady (who became a great friend) who owned a home that she rented out to girls. She had remodelled it and it was BEAUTIFUL! We built this piece for the front room of this house. The upper part of this cabinet was to hold a TV and the bottom was for storage. It was DARLING in that house!

Game Table & Chairs - We had the opportunity to design and make several pieces for a family home here in Cache Valley. This was one of the items we made for them. This went down in their game room. It is really hard to see in this picture, but over to the right is an Entertainment Buffet. We custom build this for them so they could put a small fridge and other appliances in it. We loved working with this family and really enjoyed building these custom items for their home.

This is another TV/Armoire that we custom built for some friends. They have a beautiful Rustic/Western home and wanted something stained to match other items they had in their home. The crown molding on the top and bottom added so much. Love This Piece!

Eric built this Coffee Table for our front room and it has always been a favorite of mine! It is very simple! We painted this a Dark Burnt Umber Brown and distressed all the edges. It is great for displaying pictures, table boxes and so much more!! We have played many games on this table. It is a perfect height for everyone to sit around!! We have built so many different styles of tables. If you have something specific in mind, let us know. I bet we can make it!!

I hope you have enjoyed your time with us today. Thank you for letting us share our love of furniture with all of you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Saturday, February 4th -

Welcome to ~Make Your House A Home~ where we share fun ideas we have used in decorating our own home and other friends homes. We have some GREAT ideas we would love to share with you. How many of you have or have access to old rustic used wood items? Frames, windows, doors and even old headboards. Here are some of the fun things we have created with our old finds......

This is an old Screen door that was painted white. I had it outside for a while so the paint is chipping off and I love the look. I took a twig wreath and added some pip berries and a fabric bow on the top. I have it placed behind a black rocking chair. Isn't this cool? It really only took me five minutes~ I love those quick projects.

Some great friends of ours were remodeling their kitchen a year ago so I asked her what she was doing with all of her old cabinets. She graciously gave them to me and they are AWESOME!! (Thanks Linda!) This is one of the frames she gave us. I sanded off some of the paint that was peeling, but left the greenish color showing on some part of the frame. I took some burlap fabric (which I LOVE) and hung a berry wreath from the top of the frame. I placed a snowman, some stacking boxes and other fun items behind the frame. GREAT IDEA HUH? I Love the way this display turned out.

I found these OLD RUSTIC CANISTERS at a thrift store and fell in love with them. Years ago I purchased these really cool berries and have been waiting to use them for that perfect display. I filled this Large Flour Tin with them and love the way it looks together. I also tied a burlap bow around the large tin to add a soft texture. This display is on my kitchen table.

We have turned Old Headboards Into Benches and they are some of my favorite pieces ever! Of course we make them to sell, but I find myself snatching one here and there to place in my own home. I just can't resist and Eric always keeps that in mind when he is building something. He always says "You're gonna love these" which tells me he would love for me to have it. He gets just as excited and I do, but don't tell him I told you that!!

This Awesome Bench is now sitting in my front room - I just couldn't resist!!

My good friend Jamie is now enjoying this one in her master bedroom.

And again, I stole this bench one for our bedroom. I have decorated it with one of my runners, a clock, twig balls and another vase full of those wonderful berries I have been waiting to use.

This is a wood crate that we repaired and sprayed black. We distressed the edges and tadaa! A great piece for our bathroom. I placed twig balls and a rooster on top. Very simple and fun!!
So remember to think outside of the box when you are decorating. Because some of these items were already made, it didn't take me long to add them to my home. I just added a little bit of my style and absolutely love looking at all the fun things we have created out of old stuff! Thank you for spending some of your day with us and good luck ~Making Your House A Home~
