Old habits die hard so my body still tells me to get up for work. YES..you too can tile a floor. I tiled my cement basement floor by myself when I was 60, love garage sales, estate stales and thrift stores. Although I live in an older suburb of Chicago now, I was raised in a VERY small Indiana farm town so am used reusing everything which my Chicago bred husband doesn't understand. Doesn't everyone wash out their breadwrappers instead of buying plastic bags. Your blog speaks to me and I will continue checking both this and your photography blog.Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17750168570067972529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-86992691338048916832010-01-22T06:27:09.664-08:002010-01-22T06:27:09.664-08:00I love this post.

Someone took a silverplate tray, painted the interior with blackboard paint (the rim remained silver) and used that as a blackboard. It looked like a framed blackboard-all in one step (probably 2-3 coats of paint)martinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160371074353452445.post-37648305557858591232010-01-20T22:35:51.930-08:002010-01-20T22:35:51.930-08:00HI, nice to meet you.

My sister makes magnet boards from old vintage trays.<br /><br />Susan - Thanks for landing on my blog. I miss Houston.
