Lately it seems like we’ve enjoyed seeing quite a few makeovers here at Roadkill Rescue that started with Craigslist.  This one from Kristen at A Thrifter in Disguise came from a CL ad in the free section that read, “Save this table from going into the dumpster.”

The beachy summertime display that Kathy of Petticoat Junktion created from reclaimed would has very authentic beginnings.  ”A few years ago when we lived in Florida I drove up and down neighborhood streets every morning collecting discarded wood fencing from curbside,” Kathy explains.

At House by Hoff, April had a blank wall in her dining area that needed a little something.  ”I considered doing some pallet art.  I considered hanging some plates,” she says.  ”Then, in a moment of sheer genius, I considered doing both.”

Mandy of We Three Mothers writes, “About a month ago, Cooper was having a lot of fun playing restaurant and grocery store owner in the play room with our Melissa and Doug food items and Kiwi Crate grocery apron. I’ve been wanting a little kitchen for Lily and Cooper for a while, but am not a fan of the plastic ones they sell, and the wooden ones everywhere are pretty pricey.  Alas! Cooper and I decided to turn this little table into an oven!”

Stephanie of Life Created says, “I had just attended a “vintage” sale and had been gawking the many chalk paint creations: frames, side tables, buffets and dressers…when I decided to stop at Goodwill.  I walked around nonchalantly and this pepto-bismol-colored creation called my name.”  With visions of chalk paint dancing through her head, she immediately brought it and took it home.
