Dresser turned Vanity

We bought an antique dresser at a thrift shop for $50. We decided to turn it into a vanity for our master bath. I painted the dresser and my husband added a sink and faucet.

Vintage Coffee Pot Wind Chimes

A while ago I bought this $1 coffee pot and I knew I wanted to somehow use it for a wind chimes project. I love its vintage patina. First, I thought I would hang small cutlery from the bottom, but I've seen that done before. I wanted to come up with something new. New to me at least.

DIY Bottle Tree

Yep, that's a 10 foot tall tree made out of different diameters of steel round rod complete with colored bottles my mom collected from friends and a few she purchased from the internet. ...»
She estimates that it cost about $300 for materials. $150 for the metal and $150 for the colored bottles. Lots more about my mom's DIY bottle tree (and where the bottle tree tradition came from) on the ol' blog. #SummerStyle
