Old sewing table to kitchen island
Hanna is very creative! She was in need of a bit more counter space in her kitchen, so what does a creative person like Hanna do? She makes space! She says "This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my house. I made it out of an old sewing machine table, purchased at the DI for $6.00...One of my favorite things about the table. It has a secret compartment on top, where I store all of the sharp knifes in my house. Isn't it FAB?" We certainly think so Hanna great work! gorgfabgoodies
Christmas on a dime
Hilary sent in this great recycled magazine project! she says "I call it Christmas on a dime! I got the idea off of the Martha Steward website and decided to try it out. It only took an hour and a half to fold and prep my magazine for paint! My friend and I did it together! It's a great way to spend time decorating with friends for the holidays! The totally project cost 4.00 for the spray paint and the glitter! I am really excited about displaying my glitter tree for the holidays!" Hilary sure sounds excited about her tree and the holidays! We hope you are too!

Mirror to Serving Tray
We have seen alot of old mirrors turned into chalkboards to hang on the wall. But never one quite like this. Yes it hangs on the wall but it doesn't end there. The mirror really finds its usefulness when you use it like a serving tray. Great job Michael from inspiredbycharm
Desk and Mirrors
Sometimes a project involves more than one piece, as was the case for Mandi. She picked up this classic looking desk for only $5 and collected several frames. With a ton of hard work and a new acid glazing technique she came up with this wonderful finished project! Each piece is unique and together they form one awesome project! Keep up the great work Mandi! See how she did it @ vintage revivals
Vintage Book Planter
Lindy was inspired by what some other people had turned old books into. She found that you could use them to make everything including photo frames, but she wanted something different, something that gave new life to something old. What better way than to add a plant! Great idea Lindy, we can't wait to try this ourselves! keep up the great work. Cottage Hill
