jewelry holder

When your rake handle breaks, spray paint the rake with enamel and put a screw through the hole. Use the fingers to hang necklace. I put mine on the back of the bedroom door.

Art Desk and Chair

This was a full hutch desk with a fold down desk top. I need an art table/desk that works for sewing and bigger projects. So I cut off the hutch leaving a gap for paper storage, then attached the headboard from a poster bed. The antique wood gives it the look I like. I also replaced the knobs. The desk is not a standard height. the top sits 34 1/2 inches from the floor which makes it a nice height to stand and work at. 

The 34 1/2 inch height is great to stand by but it makes it hard to find the right size chair. This chair was given to me and with the addition of wheels it is the perfect size. Nice leather seat is comfortable.

Floor Cloth

I got a box of furniture swatches from a furniture store. I sewed them together and love the way it looked. once again I just piled them up and pulled out 5 at a time sewed them together in strips and then put it down.

I hung it up on the A frame. Added 75% modge podge and 25% water. and brushed it on. 2 hours later it was back down in the artroom.

DeskMat

 I bought a poster frame, clear plastic top and thin wood back. I found a deck of taro cards and used the ones with names on them. 36 cards shuffled and dealt out into piles of 9 cards and glued them down without looking at them. I love the way they came out.

Dog seat cover

This seat cover hooks to the headrests in the front seat and the other end hooks to the headrests of the back seat. It is made of durable fabric and keeps the dog from falling off the seat. It is great.

 

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.
