Reusing and Repurposing, Recreating and Reinventing = S-A-T-I-S-F-A-C-T-I-O-N !

Last weekend a friend came over to the house and helped me move some furniture around. I am trying to clear out and get rid of things we don't any longer need or use or have space for. Right now, I have a need to have "clear space" in my mind and heart and surroundings. So, we moved a cabinet the television sat on to the garage to be sold. Then moved a small desk/table affectionately referred to here as the "turkey desk" to the basement to set the television on. And, then re purposed a Formica kitchen table, vintage 1950's by bringing that up to the "reading room" to replace the "turkey desk" as a computer table/desk/work space. The turkey desk while charming with its' 20 gauge shotgun shell casings for drawer handles and turkey feather draw pulls, was turning out to be too small as a table/desk in the reading room. There was simply no where to put your coffee, your pen, your pad of paper for note taking. The Formica table, layered with two vintage tablecloths and a turquoise piece of McCoy pottery, my vintage daffodil bookends holding up an assortment of new used books and a snazzy turquoise Schnauzer plant holder now turned pencil container is absolutely cute as can be. And, I did it all at no cost! Am pretty proud of myself, girly-girl!
