Revamped coffee table

A lovely lady I work with gave me this table....

it was a bit dark and gloomy and the criss crossy things on the doors were dust collectors!
I took this old lamp shade and cut it up to replace the door panels....
gave everything a lick of paint and a bit of rough sanding....
ready for the lounge room, with lots of storage!

Magnetic Notice Boards

I picked up a couple of old metal trays at a garage sale,...
I wasn't keen on the super shiny, so I added some salt and vinegar....
and ended up with a super cool rusty effect....



a great place for sticking important little bits and pieces....

Letterbox

I needed a new letter box, so I rummaged through my junk and came up with this...
a box...
a frame...

some bits and pieces...
adding some peaks...
and a roof....
a hole...
some paint...
and some numbers...





This is what the old letterbox looked like...




and the new one...

Pile of Fun!



 I had this glorious heap in the corner of my shed, just waiting for action!
There were mirrors!





and these two beauties! I shall join them together to make a little bathroom bits and pieces shelf...




started rebuilding the base unit, but the drawers were a right off...



so swapped the drawers for a shelf



filled in the gap and roughed it up a bit...
didn't mind the colour so I put in in the bathroom
