  • 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:

Pallet Stepback

Another pallet beauty by DH! He sized this to fit a particular wall in a small guest room. It fascinates me how he can just make things with no plans, prints, etc. Finished with Briwax in Tudor Brown.....makes a fabulous, smooth finish with that rough-hewn look!

Repurposing a vintage sewing bench into a blanket storage footstool.

I found an old (1960's?) sewing bench at the flea market and knowing that my husband really needed a footstool since he can't tolerate his recliner anymore; I decided to rebuild the bench ...»
into a footstool with storage for his blanket, pillow and heating pad.

  • This Antique coffee table had a cracked in one of the legs where it couldn't be repaired because of the location of crack, so this piece was
  • incorporated with a Antique Sewing machine base which had no top or sewing machine.

  • Her finished view from the left side 5
  • What she looked like when our eyes met and fell in love!
  • calling in our dear friends mother to help with the sewing. she hand sewed the entire piece after it took me a few hours to choose the right feel for the fabric.  I love DIY projects, but sewing would require me to sit still!
  • So much Rot!  We chose Elmers wood rot stabilizer and a decent wood conditioner. Of course replacing the base boards with 3 boards from a 200 yr old barn we helped tear down
  • She threw me a little attitude, but I gave her a 2 day time out, then she was fine!
  • A before and after to help show the amount of work I put into her. 3
