Tool Box Display


I got this huge tool box at a sale this summer....
My Mom cleans a lot of my stuff for me,
and when she set this up in the driveway to dry,
I got this instant idea!
It was a super display piece!

So I filled it with little treasures.....

close up of right side,

Closeup of left side and middle.
  
and wait! There's more.....

Here it is all dolled up for Christmas....

I'm lovin' this piece!!
Now, go out and find yourself an old rusty tool box 
(the bigger the better)
and have fun!

Be blessed

"new" white treasures




new furniture pieces at the store.
This chippy old 3 drawer unit can be used as small dresser, 
or a nightstand or end table.
Love how perfectly chippy it is.

This is a newer cottage piece.
Love the added trim on door, and up at corners.

 
 not furniture, but small size ice-skates. 
These are so cute on a sled, or tied to a window with wreath on it.


fun centerpiece idea:
old chippy wood lid,
with candle ring around old insulator.
 (don't forget candle in insulator. battery operated best)

 
and this has only some white in it but wanted to show you.
We took another old organ apart,
(after we found out we could not get parts to fix it.)
We salvage the parts and use them to make other things.
This keyboard is a great wall decor,
or can be made into a shelf fairly easily.

We hung a wire basket over it and filled it with music and
other things,  and built a music display in the area.

Here is a picture of area just below it with
old violin, violin case, and flute case...

and here is pic of whole area.

thanks for visiting today.

Fun Wood Projects


 Quick Project:
had 3 of these oak heat register grates.
Two sold as they wre complete,
and this one had slats missing,
so I finally did a little project with it.
 a Christmas tree.
(You could also get some weathered slats or lath, or new and stain it).
Took me about an hour.

 This I got at an estate sale last month.....

it was filled with these 21 drawers and were they
ever stuck in there, and it was all filthy.
We put it by wood stove for awhile
 and finally got all drawers out.
Now, decision:
fix the 'frame' it was in, which is pretty wobbly and coming apart,
or just sell all the drawers individually.

I love the challenge of putting it all back together, but honestly,
can make much more out of it just selling the drawers.

What would you do???
