<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I needed a shelf so I rounded up some tension rods I had laying around and confiscated a small piece of wood from a friend. The wood had a few knotholes, but I figured, what the heck, it would add character :-)</span><br />

I have tons of baskets used for multiple purposes but I wanted to designate one basket especially for shoes. So, with the extra ceiling fan blades lying around I decided why not.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found this picture online and it became my inspiration for my basket</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got this idea from my nephew Denzel whom I dubbed "The Mad Scientist". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some of you may have heard of the relationship between Borax and Crystals. I never knew of it until I visited my family in December and my nephew showed me one of his experiments. I just knew I had to play around with this when I got back home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A lot of thoughts ran through my mind but I decided to stick with something simple...napkin rings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took some burlap fabric and an old metal napkin ring. I cut and rolled the fabric around the napkin ring, to get the correct size, and then stapled it on one end to keep it closed. I later fringed it, which left me with lots of string to play around with <i><span style="color: red;">(that's another post for next week).</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I boiled some water, removed it from the stove and added 1/4c Borax for each cup of water. (you can probably add less). I then stirred until the solution was dissolved.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I sat my makeshift napkin rings in the water and was especially careful not to let them touch each other. I had lots of space so I placed the strings on the other end. Then I let them sit to work their magic. ;-)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, after a while I decided I no longer to keep the tray white and decided to do something a little bit closer to the color of my bathroom cabinets. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That's the wonderful think about paint, if you don't like the color, or if you get tired of a color, you can always go back and repaint!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I painted it a light avocado green using chalk style paint and then dry brushed it with a raw sienna chalk style paint. Because it was going to get hit with lots and lots of water, I protected it with Minwax clear semi-gloss polyurethane. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, I'm straying away from my usual topic Decorating with Cents.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know I've always been forgetful, but during the past few weeks I realized I was forgetting things constantly, i.e.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Frequently walking into a room and not remembering why I was in the room or what I came into the room for.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">I know this can happen to anyone but on the weekends, when I was home, it was an almost <u><i>all</i></u> day occurrence</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Forgetting simple words,<i> i.e. </i></span><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a colleague and I were discussing different burial procedures, I wanted to tell her that my preference would probably be “cremation” but for the life of me I couldn't remember the word, but what was really scary she, my colleague, said the word and I still couldn't remember it or how to pronounce it (scary)</span></span></i></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Some days sitting at my desk not remembering what I was working on</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Driving and not remembering where I'm going; or driving and not recognizing where I am…</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These might be common occurrences but when they begin to happen constantly it can’t be normal. Sometime ago I remembered reading about coconut oil and how it can help to reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer so I did my research and decided to give it a shot. I figured, there was nothing to lose besides my memory, and that was already going…</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Based on the videos the proper dosage amount is about 2 TBS coconut oil a day; I figured I didn't have Alzheimer but maybe a ‘mild’ case of memory loss so I started with 1 TBS per day but in dosages of 1 tsp in my meals throughout the day, i.e. </span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 tsp in my morning tea</span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>(Looking at oil floating around in my tea cup isn't very appetizing so I try not to look at it while drinking); </i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 tsp at breakfast in my grits or oatmeal; and</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 tsp at dinner in my soup or whatever I decide to have for dinner –</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> my goal, 3 tsp (1 TBS) per day. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Results so far</b> – my memory is much better, where I use to draw a blank when talking, I can now remember what I want to say or thinking to say; when I'm cleaning or cooking at home I can walk into a room or pantry to get something, or do something, without drawing a <i>"blank"</i>; I don't sit at my desk wondering what I'm suppose to be working on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The best part I've decided to continue to pursue my studies and it’s amazing how much information I'm retaining, no it hasn't made me super smart, but I have a better grasp of what I'm studying. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s only been 3 days since starting the coconut oil treatment (started Jan 28th), perhaps too soon to say much, but my brain feels refreshed, sort of like it was given a breath of fresh air, I can only hope for continued positive results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bottom line – even if you don’t have Alzheimer’s, but you find yourself forgetting frequently, perhaps a daily dose of coconut oil could help<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the below links Dr. Newport talks about her husband who was experiencing severe stages of Alzheimer's and her research which led her to coconut oil. The results are astounding and worth your time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had been reading so much about chalk boards, so I decided to experiment and came up with a lovely board for my <strike>son's</strike> guest bathroom. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I found the chalk paint recipe on line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used strips of sheer fabric (glued with hot glue) to hang the boards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm still working diligently to get my trays out before the holiday and here are a few more. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For these trays I decided to go with birds...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It doesn't matter if your tray has little dinks in them, that slight imperfection gives them a unique, personal, <i>home-y</i>, kinda look. I like to call it <b><i>"character"</i></b>. Use to hold jewelry or other trinkets.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hadn't realized so many people had pinned my <a href="http://decoratingwcents.blogspot.com/2011/08/rusty-file-cabinet.html" target="_blank">Rusty File Cabinet</a> that I had posted. Not until I had gotten one or two queries about how the inside of the cabinet draw had turned out. It appears I had forgotten to post pictures of the draw when I finished. So, I decided to take a few minutes to post a picture - a peek inside the draw. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's been a few years since painting my file cabinet and its holding out well. Before painting it I did lots of sanding and priming, it was well worth the elbow grease, I don't see any rust spots reappearing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There were two different types of globes. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After some thought I decided to go with candy bowls with a <i>native</i> Bahamian flair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I first based coated with several coats of gesso.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I then proceeded with different color variations. I used metallic paint on some, others I used silver/gold leafing and I experimented with chalk paint on another (haven't completed yet). I then used coconut fiber to seal the bottom - <i>great way to add that native flair!</i> I'm doing 10 in total, but I've only completed 5 so far. Here are the pictures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To start, tape around faucets thoroughly, don't be stingy with your tape! (this is important if you don't want the paint to leak through on your walls)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grab a plastic bag, cut a hole at the bottom, slip the bag over the faucets and tape (make sure there's no opening at the bottom or the paint can seep through and get on your walls or tub.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used the black <i>Paint & Primer In One</i> for the base coat (this is suppose to be for metal);</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once that was dry (another hour or so) I applied the 3rd coat - the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">black </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Paint & Primer In One</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> again, but this time I sprayed it sparingly.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Note this is the spare bath and it will be a few weeks before it gets used, which is plenty of time for the paint to cure.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So while I was redoing my <a href="http://decoratingwcents.blogspot.com/2012/10/bathroom-redo-completed.html" target="_blank">spare bath</a> I knew I had to have one. What I didn't know was that these trays can be expensive, so I did the next best thing; make my own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I needed wood unfortunately I don't own an electric saw and I don't know of anyone who has a saw to cut wood for me so I shopped around for a substitute. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At Kelly's I came across boards 12" x 24", although this was a shy bit too short I decided to improvise. I had some spare molding laying around and shims so decided to give it a try. It worked out perfect!</span><br />

Hope everybody had a terrific Thanksgiving! I'm taking a break from studies to get into the holiday spirit. I've started making gifts but haven't finished, but I did get my Christmas tree up and wanted to share. My color theme this year is green & blue. I was pretty lazy, so I opted for lots of mesh and less ornaments. Gotta admit, it was my easiest tree ever!<br />
