I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box and I hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.
My husband and i live near a lake too,its across our house ( well, its the Netherlands, water everywhere). I sailed many years. Love the sailboat you made. I want to make a very very small sailboat of a very very small wooden shoe. Still thinking, how to do that. I love your blog and since now i am a follower. You make wonderful things. Love, Agnes
Very nice mantel! I love love the old rusty wheel you have. I hunted for ones exactly like this but couldn't find a set so had to antique my own for a coffee table I was making. Here is what I ended up with.
so perfect...I just love it! Thanks so much for sharing with Creative Bloggers' Party and Hop, I am co-hosting this week and I am so happy to see you there!
