Can you tell I either decorate with black or whites?  Love both looks.
The white printers block is going to become a jewelry organizer.  You see I was a jewelry designer for 10 years while raising our daughter, so I have a few hundred pcs. to organize.
Leaving as is.  Found this great coffee table in Buffalo which is now by a love seat in our cabin.  It was the perfect size and the perfect color.  How easy can it get?  No work involved!
An assortment of my junk finds.  Door knobs, cool metal advertising pc., keys and vintage hooks (other photo).
Hooks, hooks, and more hooks.  3 for $2.  Had to have them, as they broght back so many memories of growing up.  Now any ideas girls?

My haul from last Thursday/Friday shopping trips all stacked up.  Loved the white cabinet, and had to have it.  It was a printers box.  Note the cool keys for $4.00 for the bunch and the fun door knobs. $1.00-$4.00 each.

I'll post the 2 boxes soon when I get the metal printer gagets cleaned out and replaced with some of my jewelry, but will be a week or so. Posted: 5:27 pm on September 9th

I always look for them to put on old boards for coat hooks, or for jewelry. You'll find something cool to do with them I'm sure! Posted: 4:36 pm on September 9th

Fab stuff! You have a great eye. Love your finds esp. the box and the hooks. I am a sucker for boxes, bins, cases... you get the idea. I used an old toolbox to organize my jewelry (posted in projects) and it turned out beautifully. Didn't shoot well, but is awesome in my bedroom and now I can find everything too. Would love to see some of your jewelry designs! Posted: 11:47 am on September 9th
