Step Ladder Side Table

Chipped green paint, rust, metal...ahhh...just my cup of tea :)
I had all the pieces given to me by my friend who owns the local antique shop when he was cleaning out his back shed. I had the holes drilled by a professional glass company here in town and attached it to the top using 1920's screws (off an old couch/futon thing in my basement). I loooove it!

DIY Towel Rack

I went to my local antique store and was given this awesome thing...not sure what it was... It had awesome stenciling on the back, saying "Patented July 25, 1882" and carpet on the other side. Anyway, I wasn't sure what I'd do with it at first. Then, inspiration struck! I'd make it into a hand towel holder! I quickly unscrewed the foot pedal(?) and then attached it to the rockers with a few screws. Then I used some wired twine(?) that I had in my stash and ran it through the screw holes where the pedal once was. Then I added some hinges to the back for hangers, and voila! A towel holder!

Vintage Star Wars Masks

I just love these vintage Star Wars masks I found! They are handmade, signed on the back and dated 1981. The set is for sale on my Etsy page.

Vintage Mirror

I picked up this ugly old mirror at the local thrift store for $.50. I unscrewed the back and removed the mirror, leaving just the frame. I then sprayed it with some teal spray paint. Teal looks good on about everything, don't you think?

Then, I cut out some scrapbook paper in the shape of the back and mod podged it on. Looks so cute, don't you think?
