Vintage Briefcase Petbeds

So, we have found some really cute vintage briefcases and re-created them into Petbeds. They are very cute and the cats love them.

Hmmm.....What could this end up being?

We have looked at this lawn edging in our garage for almost five years. It is time to re-create into something fun.......stay tuned.....we will post a video on what we created.

Vintage Suitcase Pet Beds

Below are Vintage Suitcases that we found at local antique stores and then re-created them into pet beds. Fun and simple to do and a great conversation piece in your home. 

Vintage Chest Drawer Pet Bed

This is a Vintage Chest Drawer that was converted into a Pet Bed.  We painted the drawer black, added baseballs as legs and a little design and this is what we got.  Hope you enjoy.  This project was very easy and very cheap to do.  We found the drawer at a store called "Restore" in Lexington, Kentucky for 2.00 and the rest is history. 

Christmas

Here is one of our favorite paintings of all times.  We love Snowmen...........Hope you enjoy

Vintage China Cabinet

Here is a Vintage China Cabinet that we found for 25.00 at a local Antique Mall.  With a little elbow grease we helped it to have a new life for a very long time.  We added a black bronzed paint, inside lighting and dishes.  It turned out so cute,  Always have a vision to re-create.

GO CATS

Because we love the Kentucky Wildcats, here is a vintage shot glass that we dedicated to UK that says,

"I Shoot Blue".............turned out very cute.  We used Sharpie paint markers and started writing.  It was very easy to do and you too can create whatever you feel at the moment on glass.

Creative Chalkboard

Start looking for your old kitchen or bathroom cabinet doors. Typically they are already finished and the prep is very simple.....Look in antique stores in your community. The Peddlers Mall in Lexington is a great start, also, look at your local Good Will stores and your local habitat for humanity stores called Re-Store. Have fun Shopping!!!!!!!!!

Welcome

Hello All,
Welcome to our new blog about crafting and creating new and great items for your home.  We both love to find old items and turn them into something new and useful.  Everyone has talent and can be a gifted re-creater.  You must expand your mind, learn to look at things in a different light, and know the resources that are available to you to start a project. 
We will walk through many projects and give detailed descriptions of how to re purpose them into something new and the best places to find items to redo.  Hope you enjoy everything and please feel free to comment and ask questions.  We will post other items too, that pertaining to the arts, we love Christmas paintings that are simple to do and even host "Painting Parties" at times, to help new artists create masterpieces to give as gifts or keep for themselves. 



Here is our first project...........A vintage suitcase found at a local antique mall for $5.00.....Can you envision what our project will be?  Have fun and be creative and we will post the finished project with descriptions and costs of building a luxury item.
