Bulletin Boards made from old picture frames

Doors repurposed into bench

This is two doors we made into a bench.  As you can see it is huge.  We left one door intact and used it as the back of the bench.  We cut the other door in half and used each half as the sides.  I don't know if I would recommend making one this big unless you have lots of space for it.  It doesn't really fit in the space I have it now, but I love it and make it work.  If I make another one, I think I will cut the door in half lengthwise, then cut it down to a smaller size and use just one door for the whole bench making the back and sides lower also.

TV stand turned into message center

Remember, the cash drawer station I turned into a TV stand?  Well, I just had to do something with the old TV stand so I made part of it into a message board with one side being a chalk board and the other side being a bulletin board, complete with holders for both chalk and the bulletin pins.

I am making a bench/coat rack out of the remaining parts.  I will post it when complete.

Side table redo

This is my $4.60 table purchase.  I removed the door (that was barely hanging on anyway) and changed out the legs.  Leaving the door off and adding a basket made this a very easy and inexpensive update.  It is now a trendy side table that is the perfect size for any room.

You can barely see the legs before.

Dresser mirror turned into a chalk board and bulletin board

I have an obsession with MIRRORS.  I love the large dresser mirrors.  Mostly,  I like to repurpose them but if the mirror and frame both are in good shape, I will just redo them.  I have some pretty awesome mirrors just waiting for me to work on them.

This was a mirror that came off an oak dresser.  I love the way it turned out.  It is very useful, both as a chalkboard and a bulletin board.

Vintage dressing table turned into side table

This was an old dressing table that was dismantled before I actually purchased it.  I do not have any before pictures. Both the side cabinets and mirror were removed.  It took a lot of sanding to get this piece ready to be painted.  It still had part of the wood extruding from the side that connected it to the mirror.  I added door knobs as the drawer pulls.

Old foot board turned into wall art

Of coarse, I had to have something to go with my new TV stand.

This is an old foot board I had stored in the garage for about 10 years.  I just couldn't part with it and now I am glad I didn't. I turned it upside down, added a single piece of wood at the top, painted it, and added these tiles I already had on hand.

Old Cash Drawer Station turned into TV Stand

I love unique finds.  I found this piece at a local Re-store and knew I had to have it due to it's history.  It was once used in a hotel in my hometown.  I have been told the hotel closed in the 80's.
