favorites











here are some favorites..... the one with the signs is what we make all the time..... they work great for kids rooms for stores even for t.v.s one shelf comes out......the back is thin so you can make a hole for cords if you want.....
my favorites tho are the other ones....the big funky one of a kinds..... they are harder to do....and never can look perfect like the standards...there is usually some little imperfection ....the fancy top of the big grey cupboard was a bed...the doors are old ceiling tin.... the finials were from some poor tables legs....
the big wide one was made out of 2 doors...these are big and bulky...but really great displays....and it saves the old doors from the landfills....
the glass window showcase is so fun to use...i really love these...but they are a hassle to make!!! so much can go wrong!!! old windows are basically a mess to work with....but isnt it cute!!! this one we did up for christmas......they could be little conservatories too....maybe for your cameleons!!!!
i like playing with the old parts....and love hearing what others are doing with them!!!
if you have bought parts from us and made something neat please send pictures..for our pin up page...on our website http://www.greenoakantiques.com/
have fun!!
