Here's some small odds & ends that I've taken time to make prettier.
We picked this up in tatters from our local sustainable home improvement store; Community Forlklift. It needed new straps, refinishing of the wood, and a complete reconstruction.
I wasn't sure what these were on their own, but using wire from the baskets and some creative bending, now it's a jewelry holder...or something.
An outdoor vendor had this great brass platter hidden under years of grim and dirt and was selling it for a few bucks. It took several hours of cleaning and scrubbing but the after affect is a WOW. Amazing as a wall hanging.
These are Indonesian vases but when we found them, they were caked with dirt and grease. The detailed work could barely be seen and my judgement in paying for them was questioned. I got a "you were right" after they looked like this.
Repurposed this tea light wall sculpture. Looks much better this way.
An in-expensive basic lazy-susan from ikea. Painted it red and modge-podged some old maps to the top then added a shiney coat of lacquer. Great gifts for the grandparents for Christmas!
