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...
