Reclaiming: A Mid-Century Modern Side Table

Recently a side table was donated that had a lot of abuse but even more potential.

The table top looked like this: (Sorry for the blurry photo!)

With some very careful sanding and a light stain I was able to make it look like this:

This side table was made in the 1960s and even though it has seen a lot, it has been brought back to life to bask in it's Mid-Century Modern glory.

Upcycling: Not Your Grandmother's Candy Dish

This glass container is perfect for keeping candy but it was too plain. By decoupaging Easter pictures and ric rac to the sides it makes for a wonderful vintage inspired piece that brings out all the good sides of this otherwise plain candy dish.

I added a button bon bon on top for a bit of whimsy.

Repurposing: Old Jars Into Easter Decor

I took an old pickle jar and decoupaged an adorable vintage Easter picture on the front. I painted the lid, trimmed it with glittered ribbon and glued on a decorative button for a knob. It makes a great Spring decor item you can fill with twigs and moss, robin's eggs or even for holding candy!

Reclaiming: A Storage Ottoman

This little beauty came to me outdated, ripped and dirty. A little reupholstering and this ottoman has a new life!

Upcycling: Candle Holders

These little clear votive holders are pretty easy to come by and I felt they needed a little sprucing up.

I glittered on summer themed shapes on one side of the votive holder and winter themed shaped on the other side. They'll never have to be stored away with seasonal items. One turn and they change with the seasons!
