Sometimes an update doesn't have to be dramatic. Stumbled upon one of my own blog posts from 9 years ago! Whew! Here's a way to repurpose those CD racks we don't need anymore because we have digital music now. :-) Transformation Tuesday – Repurposed CD Rack | Michelle Rayburn michellerayburn.com I have a new book that just launched! In keeping with the rustic and repurposed theme, this one features a classic truck for inspiration. 🥰The Kindle version of Classic Marriage is on sale for FREE from July 17–21, 2020! Clever and pretty!🤗 Fun Craft Idea... 🚶♀️🚶🏻♂️ 🚶🏻♀️🚶🏽 My friend Kassie did another fantastic before-and-after project!! Don't you love the color and the lights and the wood on the back of this hutch?
