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!

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...

Spice & Oil Rack

One raining sunday, after looking for something in the spice drawer my husband asked me to make him a spice rack. It was to go here...

to sort this out....

so I collected and cut out some pieces....

joined them together...

covered the back panel in wallpaper....

Wasn't keen on this little frame, so I chipped it off...

and added some other little frames I had been holding onto for a special project and added some printed letters....

after painting/sanding/boot polishing and general trashing up....

I added the spice letters and put it in place....

finally I added the spices!....
