Worn out Wood Repurposed 3

A really rotted and worn out bottom on a very weathered wooden crate was sitting at the curb, free. That was the beginning. You know a stencil or two will be involved.

Peonies (my favourite flower) in the stenciled crate overlook the backyard at 8:30 pm. Early June is peony blooming time in my area and the perfume is wonderful. I will be writing a bit about the coffee pot holding the peonies later in June.

Kitchen display with vintage GSW Waffle muffin pan and  ACME square tart pan along with an white enameled KITTY dish and a copper colored saddle horse, all in the well worn crate.

Project # 1

The crate has seen better years a very long time ago. The ends are banded with hay wire, the bottom is mostly rotted out as have the lower edges. I've been using it as a side table to hold stock boxes as I get things ready to take to my booths.

I added FARM and MARKET on one side of the crate and sanded the black back and clear waxed/polished, added a potted tomato plant for a little while. I am moving my 6 potted tomato plants from daytime sunshine to under cover at night - my first try with potted tomato plants.

DH plans to replace the rotted pieces with similarly aged wood, glad wood replacement isn't my project. He is taking apart worn wooden boxes, gluing up the boards that are split. Some of the wood will be used for signs and some for repairing or replacing rotted wood like in the crate.

update: see the finished repair here.

   
Project # 2

Stencil added to a worn board which was once a step up to a tree house. Small arrow was from the Laundry stencil.

Yes it is in my booth. 


It has been a very busy week, more things that needed to be done than the hours to do them. I know you have been there, done that too.

  Thanks for visiting
