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.

I am sure you are just as excited as I was to see  the final Flea Market Flip projects done by the students. 

Sometimes it's necessary to repurpose a  repurposed project.

I just discovered these beautiful enamelware planters at IKEA and you know what that means!  
A new repurposed project is on the way!  These planters are a warm white with a black rim and made of metal that resembles vintage enamelware. 


They have them in 2 sizes and they're called CITRONSYRA. 
I grabbed one small (4") and one large (6") and headed home excited to make something fun! 
First I drilled a hole in the bottom of each pot. 
I used painter's tape to mark off the center then drilled through the tape so the enamel wouldn't chip. 
I gathered a few more supplies for this project, a lamp base, and an old wooden white candlestick. 
I cut the candlestick to the size I needed then drilled a hole in the top and bottom.

I used E6000 glue to help attach the lamp base to the bo…

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

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

Sometimes inspiration for a project comes  from the clearance aisle!

This is a project that has been repurposed  not once but three times. 

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

Today I'm repurposing this drawer from an old hutch.

Another day... another potting bench to make!

A fun project using an old repurposed lamp fixture.

In honor of the new year I'm sharing one of my favorite storage projects with you. 

I'm creating a series of repurposed vintage kitchen tools on Homeroad in the coming week. I'm giving a class at our local library and I'm preparing a few projects to demonstrate. The first repurposed project starts out with these two pieces. 

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…

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

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! 

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...
