Trash to treasure tuesday




Did I mention that I love thrift stores and flea markets?

I do

and I have my "bunch" of thrift stores that I visit regularly


A while ago I was lucky and found these two lovelies


And this weekend I finally had the time to sand them down and give them a new look


Now this is Lynn`s new treasure box



And this is mine:

I liked the chest from the moment I discovered it but
when I opened the drawers and saw the compartments
I knew It would be perfect to store my ribbons, bindings and laces!


And I absolutely LOVE those handles!

It is relaxing to know that now I have an other mess free zone in my sewing studio.


Have a nice day

  1. I love your super-organised ribbons. Mine are all just stuffed into a storage box (but at least it does keep them together, which is something!)

  4. Wow! You are one talented momma! I love the cabinet with all the cubbyholes---I like cubby holes to organize my stuff in. Your header with the fresh bouquet of flowers is beautiful, by the way!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I'll have to come " visit" Switzerland again soon! ;-) Hope you have a great day (or evening, maybe?)!
