For those of you with little girls...this is just too cute. They used an old stool and added a tutu. Walaaaa:bedside table.
Here is a cute table made out of a step ladder. I like.
This one is a covered cake pan that is used as a writing caddy. Could be great for the kiddies too.
And last but by no means least....wine glasses are used here as little candle holders. Just stick the candles in some sand or pebbles. Tada...
Hope you can find something old in your mansion to make new again.
