Monday Mornings...


Monday mornings are my "coffee and lunch out" 
with my number 2 daughter.
I really treasure these times with my daughter.
They started as just a "coffee out" and then turned
into a long list of things we want to see and do 
on Mondays.

Today, we ended up at the used furniture store.
Sometimes I score a find and other times I turn up nothing.
Today I found two items to repurpose.




I am loving this little bench.
33in. long x 14in. high x 9.5in. wide.




The BEST part is the top of the bench 
comes off and can easily be recovered with...
wool applique ?  rug hooking ?  




A box on legs !  
A little paint and some 
Punchneedle Embroidery for the lid...
Perfect.




This stands 20 in. high 
(with the lid closed)




The Box part is 12in. x 14in. and is 7in. deep.
(a nice size to store fiber related items, 
or maybe my stash of chocolate !)



Built well and worthy of a second life.




These will be on hold until I get a few other
projects completed.
So many projects and not nearly enough time.

Hope your week is off to a good start...
Rose

  7. Lovely finds...I would have made the same purchases. Your box on a stand has given me an idea. A couple of years ago, I found an old wooden bread box at a thrift store. It is still waiting for me to give it some careful attention. I think now, I will be looking for a base stand for it. Thanks for today's post.
