A few months ago while I was at Canton I picked up two cast iron antique handles. My original plan was to make a rustic serving trey but then I came up with something more useful and better....bookends for my cookbooks. I took my handles to the shop and had Luis bolt them to two bent pieces of steel strap.
Voila.
So easy if you have a drill press, blow torch, and strap. LOL But all those things are just laying around Hendrik's shop and I love the industrial feel that they bring to the kitchen as well as how they tie into the industrial look of the living room furniture. I took them home and spray painted them black that I had left over from another project.
The bookends cost a whopping $6 total and I love their functionality.
During my last Canton haul, HERE I got the fixings for a wreath for the front door.... I put it together in a hour or so after I painted my P. I'm not a professional wreath maker but I do like it and it completed the look for my front porch.
These are just a couple of the DIY's I've completed over the past couple months. The list goes on and on especially since I've been completing my décor in the house. More to come...
