Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.... Right?

If you craft and are creative then I bet you know exactly how I feel. I don't like throwing things away that I KNOW I can turn into something awesome (even if my husband might not see it). It may take me a while to start the project, but when it is finished, it will be fabulous!!!

For example, I have had this chair since high school:

 

Getting pretty ugly : / I got it at Target to use as a vanity stool (see all the Bare Escentuals I spilled)

Well, I could not STAND to get rid of it, sooooo a staple gun, some free fabric I got at my old job and.........

 TADA, isn't it so cute :)




A few other gems that others were just going to get rid of and I could not STAND seeing them go....got all these absolutely free!

How gorgeous is this vintage Steamer Trunk? With all it's beautiful imperfections, I absolutely love it! It is on wheels, and opens to a set of drawers, and a rack to hang clothing.  Have not yet decided how to accessories it.

How about this beauty? They were just throwing it away!!!!! It is from early 1900's, I did some deep googling and found out Ernest Hemmingway used the same typewriter to write his books! How awesome is that!

 

How about this vintage lace? (Sorry for the horrible photo skills). There was so much vintage lace that was bieng thrown away, you can't let that go! I've found a good home for a small portion- as curtain tie backs!

  Ah I LOVE it......can't stop staring. 

Anyway- don't throw away semi-awesome things....... call me I'll come get it :)
