It’s a NEW Year. Speaking to Jamie (daughter) on the phone this week she informed me that we are as close to 2030 as we were since 2000. I don’t know about you, but I remember 2000 like it was yesterday….The media went nuts about whether clocks, atms, computers, etc would even work after rolling over to the new millennium. Boy, that made me really think about how fast time is flying by! I can’t imagine Jamie being 47, let alone me being 72! hahahah
Okay, on with the great features from Catch as Catch Can. I hope they inspire you to get busy on some new projects for the new year!
Clockwork Interiors made a little oops on this desk makeover, but it really worked out for the best!
Unique candle holders made from found items from Scavenger Chic.
The New Vintage used leftover flooring and plumbing pipe to make this awesome entryway bench.
City of Creative Dreams tackled her FIRST staining project on this FREE curb find. She has some do’s and don’ts for those who haven’t stained before.
YOUR FAVORITE:
This repurposed hollow core door by Thrifty Treasures was your favorite, and I totally agree! Doesn’t it look much better as a full length mirror?
Thanks for linking up and linking back to Catch as Catch Can. You will be pinned! Have you been too busy to do any projects lately? I would prefer you not add a link to any roundups, but feel free to link up your best project or 2014 (if you don’t have something new) What cha got? gail

repurposed chair ideas
Hi Gail!! Love that mirror. Mary
Man o man I need to look at this stuff more often. We are moving and I don’t have time for projects so looking at all this cool stuff makes me want to do the projects. I have been wanting a new dining room table for my kitchen at the new house. I want an industrial look and when I saw the bench I wondered if I could just do a dining table top with hardwood? I love the plumbing pipes for the bottom too and thought maybe I could do two tables but have locking mechanisms on each so I could put them together if I needed space for 10 or more people. ( I have 7 brothers and sisters plus my own kids and grands to boot. I want a table that can seat at least 10. If I had two tables I could put one behind the couch as a table if its not to dang wide. What do you thing? You are the expert here….

Lovely features, Gail! Thanks so much for hosting! Blessings, Cecilia
Great features! I love that desk, it’s beautiful! Those candle holders are really neat and unique, and I love that mirror. I’ve been wanting a full length mirror something like this. Almost bought one but hubby talked me into waiting till after we moved. Haven’t found another that I like since. Thanks for hosting the fun party! Have a Great weekend!

Oh my gosh, time is definitely going by much too quickly! Megan graduated from high school in 2000, seems like yesterday, but she has gone to college, grad school, gotten married and had a baby … how is that even possible??? … Great features this week! … And oh yes, I’m dying to make a fresh batch of wreaths, definitely addicted. But only addicted to painting in warm weather, single digits today, brrr!!!
