Chair Back Wall Shelf
I have another repurposed chair project, a chair back wall shelf made from my $2 thrift store chair. I’ve already made a chair seat wall shelf out of this chair. Not bad to get two projects out of one $2 chair, eh?I have a lot of chairs, but even so, I couldn’t pass up this…
Easy Window Shelf
I have another easy window shelf to inspire you using odd bits and pieces as brackets. The fun thing about window projects is how different each can be! I once had this petite armoire that I made into a kid’s art center. Then in March of 2015 I did some demolition on it to make…

Plastic Frame Makeover
I have such an Easy Plastic Frame Makeover for this month’s Thrift Store Décor Makeover-it happens the second Wednesday every month!
