Pickin' Finds Turned into Something GREAT!

Last week we talked about finding neat, old items and where to go look for them. This week we want to show you some ideas of what you can do with the old things you find! Check it out:

Old, rusty planter-
Sprayed black and put a glass top on it- you now have a beautiful side table.





Windows are some of our favorite! You can do anything we old windows-use them as a back drop to spice up a porch. This one is used for our Cottage Garden Patio:



Shutters are great for display pieces:



Rusty Tin is very fun as well! You can use it for chalk boards, magnet holders, or whatever you can come up with:



The goal with this is to have fun, get creative, and make some really neat pieces with a low cost investment.

Other Ideas:
  • Old chandelier- take the bulbs and wiring out and replace with candles. Spray paint the candle chandelier any color you want.
  • Old boards with vintage hooks can be used to make a coat hanger.
Until next time,
