Make a Side Bar Table

I found a beat up square coffee table at the curb. Well it was very much like this one. this one has a different style leg, as you can see. The pic of the original got deleted somehow, most likely to my lack of computer skills. This pic will work for the practical idea of the table being short and squareish.

Took the legs off the back side and put them together with a wooden dowel for the height on the front of the table.

Cut the table in half and hit it with a coat of grey primer paint.

Legs put together end to end. I will wrap a few lengths of rope around them for décor.

Attached to the wall with some angles or a French cleat and you are all set and ready for some picture frames.

Industrial jewelry holder

A fun project, parts collected from resale store. To make a funky industrial Jewelry holder.

Two leaf sconces work well to hold rings and dangle earrings.

The earrings dress it up with color and will hold a lot more. Sconce sits atop a couple of table legs.

The table legs help to hold the weight of this large metal A/C vent that will hold many items like bracelets, necklace and more dangle earrings.

Here it sits on our painted dresser in the new walk in closet. Ready to pick out the right color earrings to go with my outfit for the day.

closet makeover

Pink and blue laundry room  soon to be walkin closet.

Pink and blue was a favorite when the kids were smaller.

grown up now we are going with a sage green.

Paint all done, ceiling white done as well.

New rods and shelves put into place. The brackets are the only thing I bought new.
 Rods, shelves, bifold doors, rug and peel and stick tile all picked up at resale store for a fraction of the cost.
 One set of bifold doors cover the old walk through from the hallway into the laundry room.
I bought a stud finder but, the old tap the wall and listen for the sound to change ends up being the best way.

The shelves are solid bifold doors. Painted with a cream paint.

grab an old dresser and breath new life into it.

This was an old dresser given to me, while it is old it is not an antique. The top was some sort of veneer. first we cut off the legs to make it short to go into a closet.

Then took off the handles to be spray painted a cream color. I went over the dresser with a palm sander and a scotch bright green pot scrubber. My favorite for sanding furniture to take off the shine so new paint will stick.

I bought a cheap electric paint sprayer from Harbor Freight (less than 20$). A Good latex interior wall paint. Mix the paint 3 parts paint 1 part Windex to thin the paint for the sprayer. Windex works so much better than plain water and the latex coats like a dream. Wear safety gear; Respirator& goggles. Or paint with a brush.

Put the handles back on, rub a little bar soap on the rails and it is like new ready for use.
