Transformation #2

I don't normally double post but I will be out tomorrow due to surgery and may not be able to post any time soon. I wanted to leave you with a fun idea that could be done when you have that extra time from the Holiday weekend.

While shopping my favorite thrift store a few weeks ago, I came across this metal lunch pail. I had no idea what I would do with it just yet, but at $.80, I just couldn't pass it up.

Yesterday a thought struck me. I was in need of a new pot for my flowers but didn't want to spend the $$$ on one. Then I remembered my lunch pail! I just hammered a few drainage holes in the bottom and filled 'er up! A nice little touch I think. I can't wait for it to get a gorgeous weathered patina! (aka rusty!) :)

What do you have lying around that can be repurposed? Please share!! This blog lives for your comments! :-)

Repurposing an old frame

I found this cute-ish picture frame at the thrift store a few months ago and spray painted the frame black. For a while it just held the "art" it came with. It kind of went with my country motif so it worked for a little while. BUT, I have been so antsy to change some decor. I wanted to think of ways to do that WITHOUT spending any money.

Yesterday afternoon (during that blissful hour known as "NAP TIME") I grabbed some items out of my craft room and started re-purposing that old frame!


I love it! And it was so quick and easy to do. I changed out the nest because I think the original one I picked was a little too big.


What have YOU re-purposed recently? I wanna know!! :)
