My sisters and I would go to Thrift shops and Salvation Army Stores and I always managed to find something that I could reuse. It was always interesting to see what you would find. We still go to garage sales whenever we can and go treasure hunting on our girls weekends.

This is my mother-in-laws room at the cottage. She is english and likes flowers and girlie things. Most of the items in the room were used pieces that we refurbished and painted white.

Re: Potting Bench

This is a great job.
I have one similar, but instead of a door for the back I used a window frame and put chicken wire on the back. I just used 'S' hooks to hand my garden tools!
Love you idea may have to make another one!!

She sends us beautiful thank you cards whenever she comes to stay. Now I know where I can dislay them.
Thanks again!!

Re: Altered Altar

This would look wonderful on top of a desk. Add some small shelves or holders of some sort to the outer pieces and a bulletin board/message board/calendar to the centre.
I would paint it so it doesn't look so ominous.
Maybe paint the main pieces white, the pillars and top black and add an accent color to all the little detailed gingerbread pieces. Great salvage find!!!
