So stinkin clever!

How's this for a makeover? These used to be ordinary, unassuming clear glass vessels. You know, the kind that are unloved and overlooked?
Here's the McLinky to Creative Little Daisy. She'll give you the 411 on her ingenius idea! But before you go, grab a cup of coffee and plan on staying awhile. I'm just sayin...

First, I am happy, no ecstatic, to report I found a source for burlap sacks, which I will share soon!

Onto an inspiring idea I found this morning at Belle Maison. It's my three favorite things...Funky, easy and cheap!


I love the industrial looking brackets. I can also see this done with old wood corbels (with chippy paint, of course) rusty wrought iron. I've gotta go find some old books!

Have a happy, albeit dreary, Thursday! I'm off to go play in the rain. :)

That sort of thing IS my bag, baby....

OK, hopefully you'll get the Austin Powers reference there. I'm searching...on the hunt for burlap grain, coffee, potato sacks. I HAVE to find some.





Why, you ask? Because I'm officially obsessed with this look:




Must. Find. Them.

Happy Tuesday!

Vintage Suitcase Sidetable


Super quick and easy project. I've been picking up old suitcases here and there, finally have three that stack nicely to make a fun little sidetable...I just added some wheels I found at Lowe's to the largest one and stacked the other two on top. I decided not to attach them to each other so I can use them for storage.
Attaching the wheels was easy...I just predrilled holes and secured them with bolts and wingnuts. Actually, Sage predrilled the holes and did all the work. That girl likes power tools as much as I do! :) That's my girl!
