Does this Project Measure Up? Putting Vintage Yardsticks to Good Use!

I took a few of the vintage yardsticks from my collection and attached them, along with some new iron hooks, to a plain pine board stained with a Minwax wipe on stain. Believe it or not ...»

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/...

No Space for a Full Desk? Build an easy Shelf Desk!

Using a wood plank and some heavy duty brackets, I installed a cute little writing space in my spare bedroom. It's tucked out of the way and gives a great space for guests to use their ...»
laptops or chargers. Super space for kids to do homework on as well.

this weekend project

Another weekend project successfully executed. These were old frames that my Mom used for 2 art portraits she did in High School (not my favorites). One glass broke so I repainted the frames - covered foam core with leftover fabric from cutting down some curtains - inserted them into the frames - backed it with a 2nd piece of foam core and inserted cup hooks at the tops of each to hang necklaces on and again, it came out like I imagined it would.

Easy diy headboard using garden trellises.

I bought 3 trellises to fit the width of my bed and simply wired them together using picture hanger wire. I covered the wire with clear tape to protect the walls from scratches. It is currently just propped up behind the bed, but I may hang it on the wall at some point. #2012

Hardware Store Barn Door

We decided we wanted a barn door to separate our doorless master bathroom, and started researching hardware online. Everything was upwards of hundreds of dollars, and way out of our price ...»
range. So my husband got creative and thought, "Why not use a trolley rail?" So we headed down to Lowe's and bought a six foot long trolley rail for about $25, and decided which hanging kit we liked (the hanger with 9 bolts) which cost $30. We built a door out of tongue and groove paneling, stained it blue (my husband has been dying to stain something blue) then later on painted it white (wife wins again!) The entire project (hardware + building our own door) cost $140, which is a fraction of the cost of the fancy hardware! For a full tutorial on how to build your own, you can check out my blog post http://www.killerbdesigns.com/blue-barn-door....
