I didn't get anymore furniture done this week, however, I did an experiment, that I am liking. My friend told me about this furniture, that was on the curb...Yes, I will get something off the curb...It was a desk and night stand. They were in too bad of shape to re-do, (maybe they had fire and water damage???) They were that bad, but the drawers, I did like. So. I took them out, they were in fair shape. I decided to make some cool planters out of them, or boxes for center pieces, to put on a table or large ottoman...Here is one I have complete. I did a tea service in it. I think I am going to paint each one different, and put different types of accessories in them, to show the versatility. This is true re-purposing. Also, I found a little pillow at the Cotton Mill- Flea Market. It was super cheapy, $9 and I had to have it cause, on it is written, I Love You To The Moon And Back, and that is what my kids and I always say to each other..... So here is box number 1 and a sweet little pillow! Love-Enjoy!!
