Old Things Get A New Life (25 pics)

1

I’ve been working on this project for almost 2 years. And I’ve almost completely restored these scales.

2

I’ve recently finished restoring this drill press.

3

I made a new pedestal for this unusual antique table and renovated it.

4

Someone managed to bend and break their wedding ring. I fixed it.

5

Upcycled a broken cable spool from work into a climbing toy for our new kitten, Lady Sif.

6

One of my favorite dumpster finds!

7

I found this set of lounge chairs at my local thrift shop. They cost me $22.

8

Another estate sale project! $50 rocking chairs sanded, stained, and decorated with cushions!

9

I made this cosy pj set from my old blanket and I'm so happy with the outcome since Iv never made shorts before!

10

I restored this antique oak desk made by Gillows of Lancaster.

11

Now my dream car is ready.

12

I pulled this cabinet out of a trash heap. It used to be part of a military file cabinet.

13

It seems unreal that this is the same chair.

14

This restored Gucci bag looks like a designer piece again, even though it was bought at a thrift shop.

15

Kinda brilliant.

16

Although the fabric looks almost decent in the first photo, in real life, it was very dirty, ripped, separated from the chair, and looked disgusting.

17

An old sofa, before and after upholstering and restoring it.

18

A man brought me a wedding ring that he found in the garbage chute.

19

I like to restore antiques and I’m happy with the work I’ve done with this little Zero fan.

20

I found this beauty a few weeks ago at a thrift store. My boyfriend and I fixed it up real nice. It’s my favorite piece of furniture in the house now.

21

Upcycled estate sale patio set.

This rocking chair cost me only $6. I’ve just gotten around to refurbishing it.
