Ahh, re-purposing is in my blood,,, not to mention paint, thread and glue! lol!

latest project is re-purposing this freebie sewing desk,,, into a port-a-bar.

free and ugly...

new 'skin on top and at bottom.

now to find the perfect galvanized bucket/pail to hold the ice...
I will cut a hole in the top left side, drop in the bucket. Then I will paint the desk... I still need to decide what to do with the handles... I want to use them,,, but one is pretty rusted...so I am still on the fence as to what to do with them. or dig through my box of vtg. handles, maybe I will use celluloid handles... oh decisions decisions...

Cj,,, I have to laugh,,, I am notorious for finding and stashing 'stuff' for future use,,, well while digging through one of my container bins of trailer 'stuff',,, I found a chandelier that I had painted red several years ago! lol!
I need to go through my bins before I go junktiquing! lol!
