another great thread Hollylane!
I like to reimagine things as well. I make a lot of great finds and luck into some good stuff...
one of my projects on deck atm is a lovely old dresser that I found in our "free spot" (a man that cleans out houses for a living leaves things he cant use) It had no drawers to speak of, but it had such lovely lines and good bones, I couldn't bare to leave it to the elements.... I'm wanting to turn it from a 4 drawer dresser to 2 level shelf. With nice wide shelving it would be perfect for displaying the pottery I'm accruing....
another project is a very very old multi frame (previously glass) window that I rescued from an abandoned house...It needs a good sanding...and I'm thinking of making a "primitive" sort of picture with it... I have ANOTHER window frame that is long and narrow that I plan to make into headboard...
and lastly, a small project..at the same free spot I found one singular very old stair spindle...I have considered putting it on nice brackets and using it for a towel bar or using it as some kind of jewelry holder...bracelets and such...
One very cool thing I saw and loved was a small window that had an old screen on which was hung earrings...and hooks on the side which held necklaces... I'm always looking at things and trying to think of other ways to reuse them...that's part and parcel with reduce/reuse/recycle
