And Speaking of Spools...a spool turned spice rack...




So the other day I shared our new SPOOL OTTOMAN for the back patio.


And as I was digging around in my "Spool Stash"...
(What?  Doesn't everyone have a spool stash?  Is that odd?  Maybe a little?)
...I found this other little spool that I had been thinking I'd use for a spinning spice rack.


We just added a "Lazy Susan" to the bottom...another easy one here.  No surprise :)


And again, I just coated it with a matte poly spray and left it "as is"...industrial charm??




The perfect height for spices...


...spin it around for sweeteners etc.


Works for me :)

Here are a couple of other things we've made from various spools...


Did you see this little spool table layered with linens in the "Vintage kid" section in OUR BOOTH AT ANTIQUES DOWNTOWN? 


Or this one...


...we "DRESSED UP" for a salad bar party?


Fun for flowers too!
 
So what about you?  Have you made anything clever with spools lately?
Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh my goodness -- definitely would leave that spice spool as is. How cute that is - and no, I don't think everyone has a 'spool stash' LOL

    That is a very cute idea for spices!!
    Is that a clock from a Westinghouse Roaster cart? So cute.

    I have one of these sitting on my workshop counter and I keep thinking about what I should do with it. I love it as a spice rack!

    Great idea! My mom collects the spools and doesn't do anything with them. I think I've got a Christmas idea for her now! Stop by my Friday's Five Features and link up this post (and others)! http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com/2013/08/fridays-five-features-no-3.html

      You can purchase the "Lazy Susan' at most home improvement stores...Menard's, Home Depot etc. :)
