This is actually a bottle decoration idea that I came up with. I don't come up with a lot of this because I can usually see it in my head but I can't get it to translate on to whatever I'm doing.
My friend is really good at...

I have had this old folding chair for many years. I'm not even sure where it came from originally, I might have rescued it from being thrown out somewhere.
For a long time it was rather tatty-looking, with its striped canvas...

My first husband cut me a thick plywood top for it, as it had lineoleum and...

A friend gave us an old worktable. Well, actually I asked for it because I had this great vision:
I wanted to turn it into a rabbit hutch!
We have two rabbits right now. One of them is a Standard Rex, named Marshmallow. He's a...

Last year I saw an idea of using an old washing machine tub for a fire pit.
I have several old washing machine tubs. I have planted stuff in them in the past. One is being used for compost in my back lot.

I don't like to throw things away that can still be used for something else, but I've never figured out what to do with clothes that aren't worth even donating.
Do any of you use old clothes for anything else? Can they be cut...
