Limited Bathroom Space to Maximum Storage
My half bath is small and needed additional storage and towel rack. The wall directly across from the toilet seemed like a perfect spot but would require a simple and narrow solution.
Halloween Tree From Jewelry Organizer
After finishing my Halloween Shadow Box, I had some clay ornaments left over which seemed perfect for a Halloween Tree. As luck would have it, I also had a jewelry organizer in the shape of a tree.
Wood Cutlery Organizer Finds the Halloween Spirit
Are you looking forward to Autumn? It’s my favorite season and I start celebrating early by doing Halloween Crafts. When I saw this overused wood cutlery organizer in the Salvation Army Thrift Store for $1, I knew that it would be perfect for a Halloween shadow box.
Anthropologie Inspired Watershed Curtain Tieback
Even though I don’t have curtains or drapes in my home, I like tiebacks for decorating door handles, lamp shades and chair backs. The Anthropologie Watershed Tieback caught my eye and I knew that with items I already hand on hand, it would cost me less than $58.
Lanai Garden
Home is a small condo with an even smaller lanai that doubles as my workshop / studio. Our condo association does not allow homeowners to plant outside their units but I still wanted to create a garden spot. What better place than in my work area.Luckily, the lanai is enclosed but, in Florida, an enclosed lanai gets incredibly hot in the Summer. Good news is that I favor cacti and succulents that like the environment that I can provide them.
Blue Bayou Button Box
Almost every woman has (or has a memory of) her mother’s or grandmother’s button box. My button collection has been stored in several envelopes or drawers waiting for the time & inclination to find them all and create an artsy container for them.With the arrival of my FolkArt Blue Bayou Dye, it was the perfect inspiration to complete the project.
Hiding TV Cords With Office Accessory
I spend a lot of time in my home office / “escape room” and enjoy updating it to fit my mood. However, the cords hanging down from the wall mounted tv were an eyesore. Rather than simply using a cord cover, I decided to create a functional office accessory.
Primitive Pine Box Gets New Wings
I’ve had this primitive pine box for several years knowing that one day it would find a new life. When I found these $5 wooden legs recently, it was an obvious match.
Updated Thrift Store Lazy Susan
How could anyone pass up a 75 cent lazy susan even if it needs some TLC? A little cleaning, sanding, painting, stenciling and a touch of metallic and it is now my table centerpiece.For this project, I decided that all of my supplies had to be things that I already have on hand so that my current total out-of-pocket was less than $1. Let the challenge begin.
Discarded Drawer to Wall Craft Organizer
I recently found this cabinet drawer sitting on a curb waiting to be discarded. NOT...in my car it went knowing that it could be used for something along the way.
I have experience in painting and/or repurposing furniture pieces, creating unique artwork & gifts, photography, and utilizing anything eclectic.
