Hotel table - new again!

I just bought this old hotel table at Second Chance Salvage.


I painted it green and covered it with tile from Home Depot. I'm not sure I like the green color--stay tuned to see if it changes to......

Camp Stove


The original stove at our cottage.  My husband gets credit for talking me into having it restored.

Good Morning

My favorite Hotel Liquidator purchase.  I know my guests all love to wake up to this view.

Beach themed guest room

Ikea bamboo room divider cut in half to make 2 twin headboards 

Functional and Patriotic!

No explanation needed:)

Porch Light???

Fern duty

For the last two years, my husband has tried to save our porch ferns in the house during the winter.  This will be the "before".  I'll add the "after" next May.
The first year they died when we put them outside to make room for our Christmas party. Last year they survived until we put them outside too early in April.

Door Headboard


I sanded down an old door to be used as the headboard in our guest room.  To hide the old door knob/ lock holes, we mounted old door knobs and hardware.  The side tables are part of an old vanity.  The middle piece was damaged and cut away to gain 2 great tables.  
The picture below shows how much fun I had with sanding.

New Old coffee table

I just refinished this old cart for use as a coffee table.  
I forgot to take a "before" picture.  
It had old nasty carpet nailed to the top and needed a lots of love. 
The number 5 was there under the grime.
