shabby tv cabinet…

when the flat screen tvs first came out, there weren’t many options for tv cabinets.  we found this shabby tv cabinet at an antique shop in rochester, indiana, –green oaks.  

because they use old shutters, tin, moldings, and headers, each piece is one of a kind.   this one is made of a pressed tin back, an old table top holds the tv, and there is huge header across the top.

and  if its not needed to hold the tv. there is another shelf that can be added to showcase pottery, books, whatever.

below is another style of cabinet I have from the same place.  it uses old porch posts and scalloped trim.

sharing with funky junk, faded charm, miss mustard seed,  feathered nest friday.

thanks for looking:)

vintage door knob coat rack…

debra at commonground is having a “monday marketplace” link party today.  just link up an etsy purchase, or item for sale on your etsy or another online shop.

in my last post, I shared my slipcovered footstool, but didn’t mention the cute door knob hanger on the door.  this piece was my very first etsy purchase.  I found this, almost 2 yrs ago, at an etsy shop—creation designs. 

here’s the whole door—it’s a work in progress—I’m hoping my husband can build a table onto the bottom half of the door soon.

  

---something like this pic below that I found on pinterest. then, the rack will move to the guest bath to hold towels.

slipcovered stool…

I found this footstool at a garage sale and it was missing a top cushion.  first, I should say, I don’t sew, but, this was 5 rectangles sewn with straight lines. 

I recycled the material from an old shabby chic shower curtain.  it had 3 rows of cute ruffles on it.

I painted the cherry legs white, and added some lace and dried flowers to the top.

this is the before look—after I painted the legs…

sharing with common ground, nutmeg place, knick of time, faded charm, freckled laundry, rustic crafts and chic decor and feathered nest.

have a great weekend, everyone!
