I picked up this old cast iron grate on MaxSold (like an online garage sale) months and months ago. It might even be a remnant from last summer if I’m being honest, but I was too nervous to tackle it because I knew removing the rust was going to be a BEAST of a job.
Remember the coffee table I was working on the other day? Well, project two of my repurposing/upcycling adventure was to take the legs from the table and make them into these beautiful, rustic candle holders.
Did I mention that these were completely free? Free, fun and repurposing are three of my favourite things!
I got my destruction on by dismantling the worn out coffee table.
I was futzing in the garage the other day and debating whether to refinish this free coffee table that a friend had dropped off.

Think I’m nuts?
Let me show you just a few – because I’m sure there are dozens more – ideas for using a dollar store shower caddy:
This Lego table / Lego storage project took a long time.
