My old trunk

Using asphalt and a Tiffany blue paint, I could give a wonderful makeover and use it as a great decorative piece combined with the reclaimed door for the entrance hall

The blue door

Reclaimed doors


Here is a recycling project from an old door I got from a demolition site. 
The same day I bought the old Spanish window, I got this old door too for free (the one behind). Like the window, it was in a very bad shape: weather exposed, woodworm everywhere; the worst was the bottom part.
Once the woodworm removed, I applied a wood putty all over the damages from moths and humidity. After huge restoration and painting works I turn an old door into a great panel for my entrance hall.

My earrings organiser

Hi,
This is the easiest way to have your earrings organized and it took me less than an hour to do it!

Spanish window

Antique flavor recovery


Booming in Spain, demolition materials are all the rage! You find a lot of stuff that can actually be recycled. So I went to the nearest carpentry in an industrial area and discovered these wonderful Spanish windows. In spite of their very bad shape for being exposed to the weather, I saw their potential and purchased one for 50€...
Everything was in very poor condition: not only the frame was damaged but woodworn was beginning to affect the shutters.
After a long and extreme makeover I can finally enjoy a beautiful recycled piece on my terrace wall.
