Stacking Crates For A Bookcase

I just down loaded some pics I had from my first place.  I made a new page ( and for all the people that don't know what that is, it's the tabs at the top that say about, inspiration, our house, and the new one my humble begininngs at home decor) about my first steps in home decor.  I found this idea I used in there, and thought some of you might like it. I would decorate it totally different now.  It is old crates as a bookcase.  I'm sure you cottage decor people would make it FABOOSH.  Check it out.  This was from 1996 by the way so don't judge.  Like you didn't have big huge speakers in your living room. 

Sweater Vases

I finished mine awhile ago, but deleted the post for some reason I got the idea here.  These are the sweater vases I made.  Here is the weird sweater I used.

Here is the finished product.  The hardest part was gluing the sweater to the bottom of the vase.  To get a full instructional visit here.

Radio Flyer Transformation

I was of course garage saleing this past spring and found an old radio flyer car for my son.  It looked pretty ratty, but the structure of the little buggy was still in good shape.  I took it home for a few bucks and spray painted it radio flyer red.  To personalize it I stenciled his name and birth date.  This is how it turned out.  I don't have a before because I was so excited I dove right in.

Where It's At

I am so pshyed!  I went to a place called Recycle North today hoping to find a chair which I did, but was not expecting a huge warehouse full of used furniture for cheap.  It is a good thing I don't have a truck, because I would look like the Clampits every weekend.  I have been so annoyed lately with Goodwill never having any furniture and now I know where it's at.  Yeah.  So this is the chair I got it was ten bucks.

I am thinking I am going to paint it off white, and use the material I used from my bench here in case you forgot.  I may change my mind though, stay tuned.  Don't forget to enter in the giveaway I am having for a CSN store gift certificate.  I don't have that many entries so you will have a good chance of winning.
