Building a new booth

Creating the "store front" with the porch rails and suspended windows

Future kitchen corner

Free and cheap stuff worked perfect for my "walls"

View from the outside corner

View from an inside corner, window and screen suspended

Filling up the kitchen corner
Open for now.... more windows, doors, and ladders next week :)

Vintage furniture re-purposed

Paint was lightly dragged over the dried wood finish, then sanded on the edges.

Machine was removed, top was screwed down. Just add a lamp and your pretty collections :)

2 oak drawers flipped upside down.  Legs attached on the sides to create a table for planting, or serving food/beverages.

A shabby window was attached to the back for interest.  A hook allows for a sign, or a hanging pot.


Similar idea as before... this sturdy drawer had great advertising on the side.


Picket fence parts were added as table legs.

Just a whimsical thought. This pot was jacked up on the side, so I screwed an old belt around the top.

Add burlap, dirt and it's ready for a plant ;)

Totally shabby chic junk art table


The drawers were missing and the top was in bad shape.

An old cabinet door with the hardware still attached made a GREAT new top.

And another matching door with the hinges made a great new front. This
is permanently attached.

The paint revealed some embossed lettering in the door that went un-noticed.
The screen material was added for fun :)

Ready for the porch!

Rusty Industrial Light Cage Planter

Acrylic chandelier prisms and rusty gear nuts
It looks just like a planter basket.... it's actually an industrial
light cage cover.  Perfect :)
   
Mix in the prisms and twist the wire around for some
curly interest.

Prisms are going to be great sun-catchers!


Add a few more at the top for the finish!
