Pottery Barn Thrift Store Makeovers Pottery Barn Thrift Store Makeovers Pottery Barn Thrift Store Makeovers Pottery Barn Thrift Store Makeovers Pottery Barn Thrift Store Makeovers
I love the idea of repurposing vintage items. I turned a vintage card catalog into an herb and spice “catalog” for our semi-remodeled kitchen. It fits perfectly on top of a cabinet unit, thus giving me 15 long drawers that hold my bottles of herbs and spices. I also made little labels for each drawer with a tiny picture of an herb and the contents, e.g. cinnamon to curry powder.
WOW… that sounds like an amazing repurpose creations! Wish I could see it! Thank you for sharing with us all! Here’s wishing you and yours an amazing Holiday Season! Hugs!
