All hail reworking old crap! My house is full of it. Our "new" TV stand was once a hideous 1970's coffee table. Doors removed, & a coat of waxy black paint, it rivals any new one for style. My husband's desk was once a broken Sauder type desk & an unwanted slab of granite. An old sewing cabinet is my printer stand, vintage faucet knobs are drawer pulls on a dresser. River rocks are bookends. As if shopping for most necessities second hand weren't enough, I delight in finding unintentional uses for things. Thanks for the awesome article!
