New life for an old Filing Cabinet

My son bought me this old filing cabinet at the Goodwill and I decided to lay some paint on it and make it happy. I'm not a great artist so the flowers differ from each other but I really enjoyed doing it and plan on making more. :)

Re-Purposing an Old Radio Cabinet

Some of the old radio cabinets are so beautiful and decorative, but take up a lot of space. We have one that is re-purposed into an end table, and we love it. #Love2Repurpose #Recycle

Faux Fireplace Pallet Wood "Fire Box"

I was not happy with the "fire box" area of my faux fireplace so I grabbed a free pallet and decided to use the classic herringbone pattern to warm up my mantel. Visit my blog to see how I did it.
