I love trash to treasure projects! Whether doing it myself or seeing something done by someone else.
Here are a few before and after pics of some projects I did a while back in a Shabby Chic theme.
A nasty desk lamp before....

And after...

An old-fashioned cosmetic case before...

And after...


A simple wooden shelf before...

And after...

A tarnished silver plate before...

And a jewelry keeper after...

A rusty brass vase before...

And a fancy jewelry keeper after...

An old collander before...

And a fancy soap dish after...

Hopefully, these projects will inspire to you take a new look at an old item before you toss it into a nearby landfill.
