happened. We pulled the boards off of one side of each pallet and stacked them so the openings were bigger. I sanded and sanded and sanded forever then 2 coats of polyurethane to bring out the rustic color. I sold it to a family who are using it in their playroom!

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/...

  • Two panels were padded and covered with fabric, ribbon and upholstery tacks.  One was painted with Graphite chalk paint and the verse added with a permanent paint pen. The fourth panel is graphite chalk paint and is a chalk board. 1

  • This is my "totem".  I've had it outdoors for several years now. It's held up really well except for the "ladder" incident last fall while a helpful neighbor was helping me clean out the gutters. 10
  • These are the tools you'll need. I use GE II Silicone for Windows and Doors (clear) with a caulk gun.
A level will come in handy to make sure your totem doesn't lean. 4
  • Wash and dry (thoroughly) your glassware. I suggest you let your vases and such dry overnight. If you have ANY moisture inside, it will be sealed inside once you apply your sealant.
  • apply your silicone to one of your pieces, then add your next piece to it.
  • remove the excess silicone with your finger or a paper towel. 
*tip*  I generally glue two pieces together, while gluing another two pieces together.  After those four pieces set up overnight, then I glue the two (or 3) sets together.
  • *tip*  to keep water from standing in your plates, turn them upside down.  I like to separate my large vases and such with clear plates. A microwave plate makes a great base piece. 3
  • You can use a plate on top right side up to make a bird feeder or a birdbath. 6

Bedroom make over.

I had this fabric in my shop for quite a while. I wanted to make simple curtains with it. I added some green tassel trim to the top that I removed from some old curtains...have to repurpose and use again...!! I also like the "puddle" look.

Bedroom makeover

My husband Chuck and I stripped wall paper and painted the walls brown sugar, I made new curtains with tropical fabric...and made a sipcover for a padded headboard. We are painting framed palm trees in back and planning on painting the dresser black.
