Salvaged Drawer
Salvaged Drawer front from an old vintage desk.
I bought this desk at a rummage sale for charity. I paid 1.00 for the desk. I salvaged all the drawers. This front panel was from a drawer with broken sides.
Shabby white paint, primmy tole roses, sandpaper and sealant.
I will attach two hooks to hang it and some chic antique white cupboard knobs auntie found at a salvage store.
Shabby coat hanger for my daughter's room.
not bad for a buck.

Put a Lid on it
Sometimes I buy junktique odds & ends by the box. Sometimes I buy jars off eBay and they arrive smashed. Most eBay sellers are ignorant to the concept of bubble wrap. But I always seem to end up with extra lids for jars of all sorts. Repurposing is good, finding a new way to use something old keeps our landfills a little cleaner and our minds creatively innovative.
