Old Porch Post Repurposed into Coat Rack

Last year, while visiting my parents, I noticed that they had a few salvaged porch posts in their barn. I immediately had a vision for one of them, but it took me a while to act on it. I pictured it with iron shelf brackets added to the bottom, so that it would stand upright and iron hooks added to the top to create a coat rack. I also pictured the coat rack being painted white. The vintage market that we did earlier this month had a shabby white, turquoise and pink theme to it  and this coat rack that I had been thinking about for quite some time was going to fit our theme perfectly!

Vintage Seed Sorter Upcycled into a Memo Board

Now that I have my new window booth space to keep full,  I've been making more of an effort to frequent flea markets.   Recently, I found this cool vintage seed sorter. It is a perfect combination of weathered wood, rust and galvanized metal.   As soon as I saw it I thought it would make a unique magnetic memo board.  

Repurposed Old Wood Crate and Clothes Hanger into a Spring Caddy

A dirty old wood crate spoke to me at a flea market last year and I took it home.   I had no idea what I was going to do with it, but I liked it.   I like it even better now.  

 

 

 The idea hit me last week to add a vintage clothes hanger to the crate to turn it into a caddy

and I already had the perfect vintage hanger!
