Hi everyone ~ I hope you're all doing well. ☺☺
I'm so excited to share this "repurposed" project with you. It's amazing what a can of spray paint can do to a project.
Isn't it adorable?! I think so and absolutely love how it turned out.
I picked up this old baby changing table from a garage sale for 10 bucks several months ago. I wasn't sure what to do with it…brought it home and it stayed under our carport for the last few months with a few of Spencer's outside toys on it.
One day, I knew I'd find a project that spoke to me.
When I spotted this repurposed project from Twelve-O-Eight's blog I knew this was it. {love}
Spencer's toys had to find a new home.
Here is what I did.
The table had already been sanded down to expose most of the wood so it was ready for me to paint.
I used Rust-oleum "Lagoon" spray paint. I will be honest when I say this particular project took a little bit of time to paint because of all of the spindles and various levels. This paint is awesome and covers well. I put two good coats on the entire table; letting each one dry in between.
I've already tried it out when I hosted a party recently. It was admired by all.
The red felt placemats have a Santa face on the other side, I purchased them many years ago. (sorry, I forget where I got them). Repurposing those as well.
The wired basket on the bottom shelf is from Wal-Mart.
The wooden box holding the cups and straws is from Hobby Lobby in their Rustic decor dept.
The Beverage Dispensers were purchased at Sam's.

I don't usually take down my Christmas decorations until after New Years but this year we decided to give my son a little party to celebrate his 16th birthday. I really needed the room where the tree was so down came the Christmas decor. This left my mantel pretty bare. I went searching online for Winter Decor and came across lots of different ideas. Most of the colors were white, silver, greenery with blue or black tied in….so I thought about all of the things I had that I could put a winter mantel together without purchasing any extra items. To my delight every single decor item in this arrangement is something I already had except the new year's printable….it's amazing what we can find when we shop in our own stash. lol!
My mantel decor consists of lots of white, silver and black colors. I love how I was able to tie in of the colors together.
I pulled together candlesticks, white twigs, pine greenery, mason jars, printable from here, white tinsel, white berries and flowers, styrofoam balls, white candles and epson salt. I also have a silver strand of garland draped on the mantel that you'll see in the picture below.
I really wanted to use my candlesticks in this arrangement for the dimension and to soften the dark color I wrapped white tinsel around the posts. The white twigs in the back I purchased at Wal-Mart several years ago. I filled a dollar store vase with white rocks and stuck in 4 bunches of these white glitter twigs. The apothecary jar is filled with white styrofoam balls (aka snow balls).
I found the New Year's print over at Lil' Luna and printed it out from here I just put it in a black frame. The white twigs and berries are inserted into a flower vase filled with white and glass beads wrapped with white tinsel as well.
This wooden box is really old -- passed down from husband's grandparents as well as the old white window frame. I love the rustic look and feel of it and always find new ways to use the box in my decor. Inside the box I have 2 large mason jars with the wire around the top. I filled the jars with white tinsel so they wouldn't be empty and inserted a small votive with white candle to settle in at the top of the jar. I filled the box with faux greenery, pine, white flowers, berries and twigs. The curly white twigs I picked up at Hobby Lobby in the dried floral section. A fuzzy snowman ornament is nestled in the center of my box.
The candle jars I found at the Dollar Tree. I added some epson salt (saw this tip on pinterest) to the bottom of each jar and inserted a votive glass candle cup along with a white candle nestled down inside. I added a few twigs of white berries to add more dimension. The epson salt really adds a "snowy" look to the jars.
I'm so in love with this mantel decor -- it looks amazing and I'm going to enjoy it until its time to decorate for Valentine's Day!
