This was an old nightstand that I found at a secondhand store. The drawer was broken so I removed it and slid in a piece of old paneling for the base and added the perfect basket. The handle is an old piece of ribbon.
This old hutch was left in my daughters apartment when she moved in. The drawers were damaged and the unit itself had a lot of scratches and marks on it. I painted the base and left the top the dark wood. Inserted two baskets for odds and ends.
 
My Dad made this little herb cupboard from some scrap lumber he had in his shop. It holds the little mini canning jars. I still have to paint the word HERBS on the front.
This large wine jug came in a large basket. I use the basket in my garage for collecting burning materials and the jar I cleaned then etched two fern leaves onto the front of it.

These are a few of the items I have in my cottage. The theme seems to be following the white painted furniture and beach glass.
