About Me:

I love to hit the flea market and come home with goodies to upcycle. Anything rusty, chippy or just plain worn is my passion.

Salvaged door coffee table/storage bench

We saw some pretty pricey coffee tables made from doors and decided to try making our own. We like $31 way better than $hundreds! You can find a step-by-step tutorial on our blog: http://www.thissortaoldlife.com/2012/03/14/...

  • Before the upcycle. I had to cut the top portion off due to it being beyond repair but plan on usin the glass and some of the wood for another project.
  • Love the piece of metal that was on the door as a repair years ago. :)

  • Love "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles.
The lyrics are hand stamped in red across the white & black striped slats. If you can't find a pallet, you can make one,too.

From Pallet to Art

I have repurposed another dusty pallet and made it something charming and unique!

I used the Beatles lyrics from "All You Need Is Love" and painted the panels alternating ...»

  • reclaimed and repurposed was the design format for this bathroom. 6

my repurposed bathroom is my favorite project thus far.

the vanity, drawers & pulls were repurpose/reclaimed from interiors of walls, parents shed & vintage faucet knobs. the sink was a free find on craigslist. the mirror was a garage sale find for $3 which was stripped and waxed before hanging. the vanity lights were made using new conduit & wiring, vintage porcelain single bulb fixtures and metal shades bought from ebay. you can see the before / after on my blog, the 1829 farmhouse:
