I love that 1940's chest of drawers !!!!!!!!!!!!
Trash often has one missing ingredient, that would otherwise make it a treasure...... Imagination !!!!!!!!

Really neat ideas, thanks!! The painted garden chair reminds me of the chair I just saw on Bev's heavensent7 thread, she painted a chair for her daughter, really nice!! And the shelving unit (with little cubicles) reminds me of a piece I saw at our local refinishers (he does beautiful work with wood), he makes something similar for teacups to be displayed. Cute idea and then your teacups aren't hidden away!:)
