I was out of mailing envelopes but I had an idea to make my own from  materials I already had on hand.

This project began with an old door on the side of the road.

One of my very favorite things.

I had an old piece of steel laying around, 
it was a great color and had a great textured patina...

This 2 sided hanging Bistro sign was made from pieces leftover from some of my favorite finds.

There was the table that I couldn't fix so I took apart and used the top to make a beautiful side table.

One of the legs from this table is the cross bar for my new sign.
The plaque that says BISTRO... is the footboard from this old bed.

I attached the table leg to another piece of wood that will screw into the wall. This made the perfect, perfect sign hanger!

I painted this piece black and white washed the hanging sign so it would look like bleached oak.

I printed out the word BISTRO on my computer, used carbon paper to transfer it to the wood and hand painted in the letters. 
I sanded up the whole thing to distress the letters and give it an antiqued look.

What did I do with my Deco Steals baskets?

A cute little tote for the laundry room.

There's nothing else to call this crate besides 
cute and funky.
