{Beverage Station} From A Baby Changing Table

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.  Project Inspiration Credit - You can visit Twelve-O-Eight's blog for this inspiring project here.  ********** I'd love to hear what you think -- so make sure you leave me a comment or send me a message here.

{Valentine Gift Box} Tutorial using Recycled Cricut Cartridge Box

When I decided to take my Cricut cartridges out of the boxes and store them in a plastic containers {like these}  I kept the boxes for future projects, just like this one.  This project is made with one of the older cartridges boxes which are of heavy cardboard with a magnetic closure.  The newer Cricut cartridge boxes are plastic and snap to close.   Use what you have. :)

Here is what I did…. Pin It

Recycled Can Organizers

Sometimes during cooking or baking I come across containers that are "just too good to throw away" and so I clean them out and hoard "store" them until I find a use for them.  Just like these large chicken cans.   So recently when I was looking for a certain clip for my hair I got so frustrated because I had all of my hair accessories in one basket and they were tangled and mixed up…..I thought to myself that I really needed to organize them a little better.  I was short on time with very little patience to make them "purty" so I quickly added some white duct tape and washi tape to each can.  Seriously this project took me less than 5 minutes.  I think it took me longer to separate all of my clips than it did to make these.  

….and 5 minutes later…..waaa laaa…

The inside of the can is clean so I am happy with the the way they are but you can definitely paint them or cover the inside if you'd like.
