New Found Passion - REPURPOSING -

I have found a new outlet for my creative energy - Repurposing. Taking items I already have and giving them a new purpose in my home/life. Wanting to make some changes in my home - without spending to much money, I decided to repurpose several second-hand items I had acquired over the past couple of years. So...I bought myself a sander and went to work. I have completed a table and shelf and I am diligently working on a chair, bench, and bedside table. I also have my eyes on an old dresser that is in my bedroom...


I am a Blogger Novice so I forgot to take a BEFORE Picture... this is the table after sanding.

Painting....



I changed out the old wood knobs for Cute new Nickel Knobs from Lowe's Hardware

(Lowe's has become my new Friday night hangout! )




From the Dumpster ... Repurposed to my Entryway .... and I just LOVE IT!!
