That which lives in my home...

I thought I would start with some projects that now live in my home. All of these were given to me or found on the roadside, except the microwave cart, yard sale $5.

Milk can before and after. The before pic is blurry but you get the idea. My first attempt at decorative folk painting. Meaningful cause 1999 was the year we were married and if we ever get our forever farm home that is what it'll be named.

 Treasure chest before and after. We use this as a toy box in our pirate ship themed basement. The inside is lined with a thick moddled red felt. I added brackets to keep topfrom closing on little fingers.

Microwave cart before and afters. I actually did pay five dollars for this at a yard sale. It was all painted that cream color seen on the doors but I was so anxious to get it done I almost forgot to take before pics! It fits so perfectly in the awkward space in my kitchen and frees up much needed counter space.

Cleaning, painting, and a little fabric and hardware is all it took for these discarded items to become usefull gems again. If it's broke fix it don't throw it out! WAIT! What am I saying!?

Throw it out so I can pick it and fix it!:)
