2 for Tuesday


Mr. Dior and I thought it would

be fun to post a monthly

new spin on our curbside finds...



2 for Tuesday



First up is my all time favorite the

One man's trash dresser that stole my heart

back in July...








to this open shelf display







This old flea market chair







to this succulent planter







Curbside directors chair 

and yard sale glass turned coffee table







Taller directors chair with the same glass

made into a console table







Old rescued shutter used for a headboard







Then used for wall art







Then flipped over for an interesting tablescape


Aha { Hat trick }

 




Old wood ammo boxes give that rustic feel






add a wood top and rope

from hardware store for a rustic 

and coastal style end table...




Linking up with my favorite gals in blogland



Debra's Be Inspired #122

Have a beautiful and blessed Tuesday

XOXO

Great ideas ~ I always try to look at things differently while treasure hunting!

What a fun idea for a blog post! I so love looking at all your treasures. I have an old rusty white ammo box and I haven't a clue what to do with it, but I do love the look of it. What would you suggest?

You are amazing. I love it each way. I just learned the word 'ostranenie" today from the blog Sarah Jane Down the Lane and wrote my post today about the word - the gist is to look at things in a different way. You sure used ostranenie in your decorating.

Love it all!

I envy your eye for catching something most would consider trash and turn it into something so elegant and usable.
