_I was rumbling through some things, and saw that a particular shut-off handle resembled a flower. I grabbed some dark wire and began to experiment with the stem and petals. Combining the two, and finding a metal vase...I had to make a dozen.

_Held on to these feet for years. One day, a friend bought a chaise lounge and needed a place to set coffee. So using the slats from a bi-fold door, scrap piece of glass, some straw twine, spare trim and wood...I came up with this side table with a compartment.

_I had found a lone unique rectangle tile in a pile that I thought I could use someday. That day came when a friend chopped up their entertainment center. Using the wood, spare trim, and a handle, I built this shallow dresser around that very tile.

_I found these beautifully crafted legs bare. (Very talented wood carver - whoever they were). With a granite slab, detailed baseboard to match the intricate legs, and some lumber, an entry table came to mind. The mineralogy [?], led me to a black and pink design.

_My aim is not only to repurose, but also to make useable items. This mirror was a perfect size for a hanging entry mirror with a tray, corkboard, and key hook.

The components to this light couldn't have worked out better. Found three square glass pendants, a scrap light fixture, and with a weathered piece of lumber, made a hanging hard-wire ceiling light. Great for a cabin, or a room with a rustic feel.
This may have been an old dresser that I saved from being thrown away. A little worn, and a lot of missing pieces,  I wanted to give it another life. Since it was bare bones, (I don't have the experience to bring it back to it's original glory) I needed to make some drawers, shelves, and a functioning work top for it to be what I envisioned.
