Spooling Around

I recently posted my Make-over of Kids/Guest bathroom. This room was so much fun to put together. Some of the pieces I was able to reuse stuff from around my home (I love thinking I got off cheaply.) For example, my dog decided it would be fun to lounge around in our guest bed one day, therefore, ripping my bottom sheet to pretty much shreds. That left me with only a top sheet. Rather then throwing the whole set away I kept the top sheet and used it for lining my shower curtain and valance!! Recycle, Reuse!!

The other Reinvented item in the bathroom is the curtain pull. I found in one of my many craft drawers wooden spools of thread from my husband's paternal grandmother back in 1998!! I have been hanging on to these bad boys for a long time. **His grandmother was an awesome seamstress and I loved to sew with her. His family told me to take any of her sewing stuff that I would like after she passed...this is all I grabbed.**

After taking all the thread off...painting them either green and brown and then stringing up with some beads, from a bracelet that broke when my daughter was an infant (yes, I am a pack rat). I used floral wire put all the pieces together. I have this...

Cost: $0

Well, worth the storage if you ask me!!! Now there is a little bit of whimsy in my bathroom and every time I look at this pull I will think of my hubby's grandma. (Don't look at the soap scum on my shower stall it is 20+ years old, that junk isn't coming off....)

Today I am participating in Kimm's Reinvented Party. Go check out some other great reinvented projects!!
