Attention folks, it’s fireplace season. And nothing says “all I want to do is lay by a fire” except a stack of wood logs. Below are some ideas for making those logs look seamless year round, and ways to give a tree trunk roots indoors.

Repurposing Table Legs

11.03.2011

Last weekend I took my friends visiting from NC to the Brooklyn Flea. One of the vendors had a stunning collection of table leg candlesticks for sale (they’d be so dramatic on a long, large table!) Thought I’d round up other things to be made from table legs.

Repurposing Washing Machines

09.22.2011

Curious about my surprise trip last weekend? BC and I flew out to Salt Lake City last Friday to surprise his mom for her 60th birthday. I thoroughly enjoy hanging out with BC’s family, and I’m not just saying that because they confessed that they read Salvaged Grace. They are just so fun to be around and I love having all those neices and nephews underfoot!

After the birthday bash Saturday night, we went over to BC’s sister’s house to enjoy some adult beverages and the fire pit. Imagine my delight to find that BC’s brother in law had made their fire put out of a salvaged washing machine drum.
