ABOUT US

I have learned and developed many tips, shortcuts and secrets over 37 years while running an antique refurbishing business. I love auctions and repurposing the things no one seems to want. It's my desire to stimulate or encourage your interest in refurbishing wood furniture,rescuing,repurposing and creating useful items for your home. Every piece of wood has a distinct and unique characteristic that must be recognized. Nothing can be manufactured with the beauty of natural grain and patina of wood.

Do WHAT...with my old purse?

This repurposing project should be a snap
for every one of you ladies. Who doesn't
 have a closet full of purses stashed away?
 Well, here's a really charming way to
use one or two to create an attention
grabbing lamp. Yes I said lamp! Choose
 a purse that kinda fits your color scheme
 in the room. These are great for little girls
 room or your Guest bedroom. Nice to
 display Grandma's keepsakes. First I cut a
hole in the back/bottom of the purse for
the cord to go thru. Next I hot glued the
 lamp to the inside bottom of the purse.
The rest is up to your imagination! Decorate the shade with bow, fringe or beads. Take a pair of dress gloves, fancy hanky,beads,pins, glasses or other vanity items and arrange in purse. The cute little purse picture frame came from Hobby Lobby clearance.
Arrangements could be changed to match holidays or seasons.
Cool funky gift too!
