Two Dollars, Well Spent!

Sometime ago I found a door

(that once belonged on a large cabinet)

leaning up against a wall

in a thrift shop

I asked if it was for sale

She said "Oh I guess so, how about $2.00?

I grabbed it as fast as I could!

I didn't know what I was going

to do with it, but I knew it

had lots of potential

FAST FORWARD.......

Today I used it to make a shelf 
in my booth space

 I added two brackets on each end

and presto.....a shelf!

 I think it looks pretty good in my space

It may be hard to tell but it has

a glass insert within a wood frame

and an old handle on the door 

It may have stood in my closet

for 6 months, but it finally

found it's purpose

Also, while out junking yesterday

I found an old table that had

great style but the top needed a coat of paint
and the bottom part needed some TLC
and a little glue

(of course I don't have a before picture)

 I painted the top with Annie Sloan Old White paint

and gave it a coat of dark wax

this picture doesn't show the top very well 

but it turned out really pretty

the table is from the early 1940's and has a shipping

label on the underside that shows it was

shipped to Foster Air Field in 1944

(Foster Field was an old air base in Victoria during WWII) 

the booth is filling up

If you are local please stop by
