Trash to Treasure: Old House Parts and Molding

Shadowbox Table

An old window and side table come together to create a charming memories holder. To start the project, the table top is removed from the table frame. The shadowbox is made by attaching a scrap of beadboard to the bottom of the table frame, and then the window is hinged onto the top. A fresh coat of white paint finishes the job.

Shelf

This unique shelf is made from two old window shutters. Bull's-eye molding cut on a diagonal serves as the side brackets. A variety of antique hardware adds a decorative touch and provides a functional place to hang items.
