This project started because I was doing laundry in the basement and while I waited for the dryer to finish I began cleaning up the workshop.

Another day... another potting bench to make!

I'm repurposing an old frame today and creating a display for a few of my favorite things.

A while back I made a key organizer from an old chair my daughter was throwing away. 

This Fall project began with an old light fixture a friend gave me after renovating her bathroom... How did she know? 

Assembling bits and pieces of broken furniture and found objects is one of my favorite repurposing projects.

You may remember the table that didn't make it?


Today the legs have a new life as part of a jewelry display. My friend Deb from Maake & Co. Jewelry showed me  a picture of a jewelry display she liked.

I knew I could create something similar so I got to work. 
The legs from the old table were perfect for the sides of the display. 

I used bits and pieces from broken things I keep in my workshop.

I painted the piece with MudPaint in Manor White to marry all the parts and give it a cohesive look.  The MudPaint is fabulous, it covers in one coat and there is almost no need for sanding or priming.
I gave the jewelry display a wash of French Linen Chalk Paint over the MudPaint to add age. …

I am not really sure what to call this project but it needs a title so I'm going with this one. I was given these metal things from my friend Thea at Rosie's Antique Shop. 

A fun project using an old repurposed lamp fixture.

Another year of making repurposed Christmas ornaments.

Today I'm repurposing a pretty chair that has seen better days! 

Repurposed kitchen cabinet door projects!  Day made!  A friend called me with a curb alert... well actually it was more like a store alert.  Someone was throwing out the contents of their cabinet store... did I want it? 😳 I was soon on my way and filled up my car. I could have filled up a truck but I had to draw the line somewhere. 
Some of the cabinets were wall displays with doors that opened.  For this project, I removed the door and drawer front from the frame. I'm only going to use the frame this time. I glued and nailed the drawer front to the bottom of the frame. 
Next, I cut a piece of pre-made chalkboard from the hardware store to fit the door space.  I glued and nailed the chalkboard onto the back of the larger space.  This cabinet is a beautiful natural wood color with a clear fini…

Every once in a while I decide to clean out my basement. 

This project might not be what you're thinking when you read the title.

You just never know what you are going to find for free!

Sometimes you have to take a second look...

A repurposed headboard makes a beautiful sign.

This project is a little bit repurposed, a little bit beach clean-up, and a whole lot of pumpkin! I love using found objects to create repurposed projects and this repurposed fall pumpkin is no exception! 

When I saw this color I just knew...

If you follow Homeroad and I sure hope you do, you know that at this time of year I turn everything into a pumpkin! So when I found this very cool bakeware mold at a garage sale, I saw pumpkin written all over it! 

Unique photo displays are my favorite thing to make and if you are looking for an easy and almost free project to do then this one is for you...
