Re-Purposed Picture Frame

I had found an old, beat up square picture frame that needed a lot of love for $1.00. I then discovered in my box of flea market finds a little sea shell art piece that I had picked up for a quarter. I'm in the process of remodeling my patio and am going with a beach theme. What a perfect match!!

Since I have an accent wall that is Caribbean blue, I painted the frame the same color and then went to Wal-Mart of all places and discovered this really interesting geometric patterned felt for $0.97. The felt squares were not big enough for the frame so I used to pieces, glued them together where the seams matched then added the sea shell art piece in the center. The contrast in shapes draws the eye and makes you really focus on that framed art work.

I would love feedback on what others think of this...

Total cost of this project was $3.00
I actually flipped the frame and shell piece so that the seam is now near the bottom of the frame instead of the top. It looks better this way and is a little more cohesive...

Accessory Chest Out of an Old Dresser Drawer

Image
The old dresser that I had torn apart and made the pet beds out of had a double drawer that was just too deep for a pet bed unless I did some major modifications. Therefore, I decided to make an accessories chest for a friend of mine who has no where to put her scarves and belts. I took the pieces of good wood from the splintered drawer as well as the bottom of that drawer to make the dividers and the lid. Everything was sanded down and painted, then the lid was hinged on and a handle was added.
