Reclaimed Armoire Door Book Shelf
I’ve had this reclaimed armoire door book shelf on my to-do list for almost a year. I finally got around to building it. The two armoire doors were missing a couple of glass panels, so I had to make a decision on what to put in the empty space. Great tips on how to build your own bookcase out of old tall cabinet doors.
Easy Build Storage Shelf for the Basement Shop
As I continue to clean and organize the basement shop, storage is a must! Productivity can be impeded by constantly looking for tools and supplies.

Small Jewelry Organizer
It’s time for this month’s Thrift Store Decor project, a jewelry organizer to hold necklaces. I made two of these organizers out of old table leaf trim pieces left over from another project.

A trio of gray glazed shelves are made from one odd piece of wooden trim. Adding wood for the shelves and hooks make the large one perfect for any room. I’d love to know your thoughts on what configuration the trio should be displayed.
Repurposed Kitchen Drawer Shelf
I can be such a procrastinator. I have had this drawer in one place or another for years. I painted it from black to white last year, but still didn’t do anything but move it around the garage. Finally I finished it. You’ll get the details on this and see many more repurposed drawer ideas to inspire you when you hop over.
Farmhouse Shelf Tutorial
Last Fall a reader wrote me to ask if I could make her some shelves like she saw on Pinterest. I don’t typically do that, but I felt up for the challenge.

Wall shelf made from a headboard
This is the mate to the headboard I’m using in today’s project. Imagine this headboard missing one of the spindles.

The upper portion became…

Gray Window Shelf
I needed a window shelf, well, I didn’t need one for myself—I needed one to sell in my Vendors’ Village booth. I’ve been selling a lot of items lately and the walls seem a little empty, so I thought “why not make an easy window shelf project”? I got these free windows in…
