Trailer makeover-part 2-{up}recycling

I love to repurpose things! A good 'find' at value village (good samaritan or goodwill if we were back in TN) can really make my day. I love taking something old and unwanted and turning it into something new. Doing that is not so easy here. There is no shopping at all... No grocery stores, no gas station, and no value village. So I rummaged through all the school rooms, the attic, the kitchen, and our shed thing and here is what I came up with.

In the next 2 photos:

1. metal canning jar lids (from jars that were being used for other things and no longer needed their lids) covered in an adorable rain drop fabric (given to me by my sweet friend Sallee)

2. clouds made from this template out of art/scratch foam (from the buried art supplies in the school)

3. a metal cooling rack (we had 3 and I only use two at a time at most)

4. 2 sheets of wood something (found in the buried at supplies at school) painted with chalk board paint (I purchased this last time we were in fairbanks for a project with the kids)

5. a tiny cookie sheet (found in the pre-school room) and a normal size cookie sheet (found covered in gunk and all banged up); I scrubbed and spray painted the big one... It was painted much nicer on the other side but it didn't want to hang right facing that direction so I will have to paint the backside again soon.

6. Harry Potter, Princess Bride, and Fairy Tale magnet sets all purchased from etsy here

This dummy doorknob didn't work out in the bedroom door so I screwed it into the bathroom wall. It now serves as a towel hanger. (side note: this is what the wallpaper looked like in the kitchen. ew right!?)

I found this wood frame thing in the attic at school. I hot glued the colored burlap fabric to the back so I could hang earrings. I also hot glued two craft dowels to the front... one up high for necklaces and one down low for bracelets. The hat I wear most often hangs nicely on the corner.
