TUESDAY'S "PEEKABOO" DISPLAY CHAIN

I am FINALLY joining in a a display chain! I have been wanting to do this & haven't seemed to make the time! I am off today so I will join in!

This wasa great idea...I love seeing where everyone has their "hiday holes"! Makes us all feel better about our junk! :)

OK, so my first little hiding spot is my toaster oven cover! I love this thing becasue I hate the look of my toaster oven but would not DARE get rid of it becasue we get so much use out of it!


Here is the yucky oven underneath...peekaboo
(I can't beleive I am even showing this thing! lol!)



Next up is my sink board! My family HATES this board but I love it because it forces them to wash their hands inthe bathroom and NOT the kitchen (which I hate) & if I have a few dishes in the sink (and, let's face it, I have 5 people here...we always have a dish dirty!) then I can just cover it up when someone comes a knocking!
I even use a treenware bowl on it to hide my faucet!



here is the sink it covers...peekaboo



Next is my stoveboard! This is my favorite board because it has such good grunge to it!!



and underneath...peekaboo...a old gas stove range!



THen there is my old table! This is called a possum belly tanble! It has DEEP drawers! I store onions & taters in one, mittens in another, meds (so people will remember to take them with their breakfast)& chip clips in the drawers & phone books! I LOVE THIS TABLE with it's chippy green paint & functionality!!



and peekaboo....







Now we come to my entertainment center! I cover up the dvds & vcr tapes with homespun! It makes a great backdrop for my little black bench!



peekaboo...



My hubby made me this wonderful hutch last year for Valentine's day! I designed it to have very deep cabinets to hold all of my prim seasonal goodies! (well not all but a lot! lol! I have too much!)



behind those big prim doors...peekaboo..



This piece in my living room is home to a JUNK drawer! A place for all those little odds & ends that never seem to have a home to call their own!



peekaboo...don't get lost in there...


This pece is in my laundry room & it's where we keep our swimm trunks & suits!



peekaboo...colorful swim trunks at easy access!



Then these little guys hold klennex and pins!!
