Kitchen Update

I went shopping to update my kitchen look. Found nothing at the 2 places I had decided to shop at. So-- onto Target -great store- to check out the bargains. Score!!! New pot holders, towels and covers for my stove burners. All for under
$25. Shopped in my own cupboards and found some blue wine glasses along with a beautiful plate to place on a stand. I decided to move all my counter items into different spots and there we go a new look. Also placed a silk plant in the space above the cupboards. It's the little things in life, Hey!!!!! Judy

Trash to Treasure

I have decided to do something about my boring kitchen. No, I can't get a new stove or counter top so the next best step is to change the little things. I will be going to the consignment shop and also the Goodwill store to see what I can find. My new colors will be yellow with blue. Maybe some new pot holders, hand towels, and a colorful dish on a plate stand. I also have a space above the cupboards. A few choice items there and Bam!!! I will limit my spending to $25.00 So the HUNT is underway!!! Keep you posted as to what I find. Reuse and Redesign. Judy

Old headboards - don't throw them away

Hey there,

This is Gayle from sunny CA. and yes Judy it is sunny!!

I stopped by my favorite furniture consignment shop, I was looking for headboards and hopefully the matching foot board. Along the back wall was the perfect set and this one had "pineapple" posts! Why headboards? They make the perfect bench! It is much easier than you think, a couple cuts with the saw, screwing boards to brace the seat, some angle brackets. A few more steps and before you know it you have a fabulous bench.

Perfect for anywhere in your house. The picture is one that I had in a model condo here in Lodi. That reminds me, the client liked it so much the bench found a new location, the entry of his house in Los Angeles! Oh well, plenty of benches and the fun is in the hunt after all.

Another example of how items can be repurposed and useful for many years to come.
