My Pre-Garage Working Routine

Some days I know exactly what I work on when I head out to the garage, but many days I do not.  Often times on those undecided days I head to my computer before hitting the garage (in days of old, it was the magazine stack I would look to for inspiration).  After 10 or 15 minutes of perusing blogs or pinterest I am "pumped up" and ready to hit the power tools and paint, the scrap pile and junk stash.  Here are a few things that caught my eye in this morning's pre-work workout.
I have the perfect suitcase for this great wall shelf from Blake Sloane.
What about this wine holder from Napa Style?  I like how the simple boards hold the wine, hmmm...
I want to make a shabby little wooden tray.
And an office cart.

Oh, the burlap on this chair is a perfect addition.
I am ready to go--beautiful images, better than Rocky's theme for getting pumped up!

  2. I check out my reading list and Pinterest to get pumped up, too. I may not follow anything I saw but I do get energized to create. ~ Maureen

  3. Oh I just love these ideas. I am an auctioneer and always looking for out-of-the-box ways to use items that are a hard sell. I am going to share on my site. Thanks!

  4. Pinned two of those things so the next time I go to an auction like today, I will say YEAH I want that stray chair I know just what to do with it! And the bed tray? How cute is that?
