Back at the Old House

I have been spending time browsing Pinterest and getting inspired to up-cycle and re-purpose things. Who's with me?!

So you may know that we have this old house that I have dreams of remodeling some time in the coming years. Well, the house happens to currently house all sorts of family treasures! I spent two hours at the house this past Sunday, going through the boxes looking for things with potential. I found several things the I think could be little projects. I think my first will be transforming an old cookie sheet into a magnetic message board. More to come on that. I also brought home three blue tinted Bell brand mason jars because I keep eying those mason jar gardens on the diy boards.

I set aside an old chalkboard to redo, an old suitcase, some old sheets of music and some old maps. I will be sure to post any of the projects that come out of these items. I also came across some unused  canvas boards and am thinking of using them for some subway art.

Anyway, since I don't have pictures of projects I haven't done yet, here are pictures of some treasures I came across at the old house.
