Been There Salvaged That: New Projects...

New Projects...

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since 2013! That doesn't seem possible and proves that time really does fly. I can't say I've done much paper crafting, but I've been busy crafting and repurposing all sorts of other things. I find my Cricut and Silhouette sure come in handy for this. I still love paper crafting and will find time to squeeze it in...eventually. :)

For now I wanted to share some of the things I've been working on. Some of the items are for myself and some of them I have listed in my Etsy shop which can be found HERE . I'm also working on a new Facebook page called... Been There Salvaged That. I would love to have you like my page. You can view it HERE . It's a page I'm doing for fun...where I hope to share projects and ideas as well as some of the items listed in my Etsy shop.

For now here is a glimpse of a few of my projects...

I made this chalkboard with hooks for Kara. She's hanging it in her bathroom to hang her necklaces and such on. I love the items I repurposed as hooks. Makes it one of a kind. :) The chalkboard is just the right size to leave a daily reminder or note.

I have enough boards to make two more of these. The challenge is finding cute hooks or items that can be used as hooks. Once I do I will make them and list them in my Etsy shop.

My cast iron paper towel holder.

Oh, how I wish I had before pictures of this. It was black and yellow with a multicolored ceramic rooster on the top. Cute in it's day, but it was time for a redo.

I love how it turned out! I painted it and sanded some of the black back through. Then I replaced the old rooster with this pretty medallion/knob combo.
