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!....

Another little side Table




Old sewing machine cases seem to find me....
and sometimes some are so far gone, but there is something special about them... 





I took an panel I found roadside and had been holding onto for a special project

Cut it here...


nailed in place, did some sanding...


sealed with some Cabots and added little felt circles to the bottem

now it is a little side table
