Sometimes you just gotta stay home & do stuff!

Well you can't always go places & you can't always go shopping cause that costs money. And unfortunately money isn't something that grows on trees, well at least not around here. So sometimes you just gotta stay home & amuse yourself. Been amusing ourselves with this little project.
Took our old medicine cabinet from the downstairs bathroom & re-purposed it. Hubby removed the mirror glass, painted it & the knobs, and added some chicken wire. It was a fairly inexpensive project since we had the chicken wire from a fence project currently being built for Penny L & the paint was left behind by the previous homeowner. I know it's the Pepto-Bismol blue that was used to paint my front door & outdoor trims which I so want to get rid of. But somehow in it' s freshly-painted state & on this particular project, it doesn't look too shabby at all. Doesn't mean we're gonna re-paint our front door & trims this colour though! We've been experimenting with colours on photo shop and so far we're leaning towards a grey colour for those projects.
Last month we had a weekend where you put out usable stuff that you no longer want & where others can pick up perfectly good stuff & prevent it from going in the landfill. We put out a bunch of stuff & thankfully most of it found new homes.Not a fan of seeing good stuff go into the garbage. Hubby wanted to put this medicine cabinet out cause we didn't have a use for it at the time. So glad I convinced him to hang onto it for the time being!
Oh and I painted the memories sign with chalk paint and searched my many boxes of  collectibles to find some decor stuff to add. If you check out the pics below, you will see that the old metal irons have a dual purpose. Sometimes hubby can be such an Einstein and I don't mean that sarcastically!

If you forgot what the medicine cabinet looked like before, here is a before pic when it was still hanging in the downstairs bathroom.

Hubby was looking to find something to flatten homemade burgers on the grill and remembered we had these old- fashioned irons. They work amazingly well!

We transported this plant, a Passion Flower from Ontario in the midst of winter and it survived. Here is it's first bloom in it's new home. However it is a plant that must winter indoors.The bloom almost looks unreal don't ya think?
