Creative repurposing

 I used 4 small desiccant canisters to make enamel canisters with stainless steel lids. Both colors are nail polish. The "pyrex" were made from white measuring spoons. I cut the handles off, sanded the rims and bottoms, and painted them with nail polish.

 Here are the canisters in place.
 The bowls on the counter....
I sanded off the pie top and turned it in to a bowl of soapy water. I will have touch up painting to do once the glue is dry but I am much happier. I have a beautifully scaled apple pie made by my friend, Brenda, that will look much better in this kitchen. Brenda also made the apples in the bowl on the counter.

My next project this evening will be lamps for the bedside tables in the master bedroom. I'll be back tomorrow with updates.

It's finished!

The flash caused a little glare on the "glass" so it's kind of hard to see the face. It's much clearer when you look at the actual clock. All the little things are making me anxious to start on the house. Maybe I can find some time next weekend. Fingers crossed!

Have a great week, my friends.
