what a way to use some of those 'precious' porcelain figurine pieces. These will make precious gifts for the women in my family and I have some time before the next Christmas to find some of those figurines in my thrift store spelunkings.
Elegantly dainty, pastel sweet...what a lovely touch for any room in the house and I think I will use it in my work room/craft room/studio/ whatever else room.
Spring just around the corner and I will be headed out to our yard. Appreciating the photos showing off your great ideas, you've given me some light bulb moments for ways to set off spots of interest in my yard.
awww... exactly what I want my husband to do with the old windows we garnered from a Craftsman house. Friend was upgrading their windows, and wanted to get rid of the old windows. I saw a greenhouse or at minimum a cold frame with some left over windows for some home decor ideas.
Thanks for posting the photos...now will that greenhouse hold up in our winds. We get winds off the Pacific Ocean in the winter months = 60 mph to in serious storms up to 140 mph?
hey, how about that - I have one of those old piano stools. I think it is holding up a non-essential corner vase. Would surely work more functionally as side table. I'm thinking bedroom side table.
both transformations are attractive, although I'm struck by the second one in which you took the vanity apart and put it back together in it's more compact form. How did you put it back together?

I have one, but not sure I want to use it as vase. Keeping the interior clean might be problem for me if I use it as vase.

Wow - wise re-use for a crate. Puts me in mind of what our ancestors might have done in the waste nothing, re-use everything mode.

The combination works to create a country style down home look.

Great wallpaper - it was a great find for whomever found it and sent it to you. Your re-use ideas for it are adorable!

Okay - this will be a 'must do' for us. We need a place to sit, put on shoes, hang jackets. I love it!
