I saw this great lazy susan in my latest Napa Style catalog -
I love this! I just love the rustic feel and the functionality. But the price tag is a bit high at $249.00. Now have I mentioned how much I enjoy Micheal Chiarello? Maybe for a later post...
So I have a bunch of spindles (thanks Gayle) and I was going to cut one down, sand it and get it prepped, until I laid eyes on a candlestick ($1.99) that I picked up at Goodwill awhile back. I also recently picked up a lazy susan for $4.99 and a wood plate for $1.99.
I assembled them,
and played around a little bit,
and finally decided it will be a piece for my "new" craft room.
I like the Napa Style version for $249.00, but I LOVE my version for $9 bucks!

I love your version for $9.00 too! This is a wonderful repurposing of three items into one perfect lazy susan.

Great post! Wow! $9 spent on things you repurposed vs $249 on something that could possibly have been made in China. And in the process you saved at least 3 things from a a potential landfill. That's what I call an economic stimulus package. Outstanding!
We need more americans to think that way. Keep up the good work!

Yours is fabulous! Are you serious about the $249??? How could that be? Is it made of gold? Love your eye for putting things together.
Great job, you've inspired me! I think I'll keep my eye out for component that could make one of those. I'd love to pile it high with cheses and fruit. Of course a glass of red wine goes without saying!
Love

Love it. I just bought a nice wooden lazy susan at the Goodwill for $2.00 and thought I would make an art caddy for my daughter, but I might like this better.
Great job!
We love Napa Style, too! You did an awesome job! I like the color of your candlestick against the wood! Thanks for sharing :)

How does a company justify a price that high to begin with.
Good for people like you who take the idea and show how simple it it to do it yourself.
You are so clever, Chelsea! I love this! I like all the ways you played with it, but I think it's a perfect piece for a craft room.
that's awesome!
You should, because it's beautiful!
yours is gorgeous, LOVE the color of the candlestick!
That is awesome! I love how you could use it for so many things!
I just LOVE the Napa Style catalog! Great idea!
Best wishes,
Tammy

i LOVE! getting my Napa Style.....
we work with barn wood a lot and the inspiration is so fantastic - besides his recipes are awesome, and his kitchen! just over the top!
your idea is so great....
So stinkin' cute!! My mom and her friend saw a lazy susan at a winery that was made out of wine barrel slats, complete with red wine stains and the stamp of the winery on it, for sale with a hefty price tag as well. My mom's friend came home and made us each one out of a salvaged wine barrel, complete with red wine stains and winery stamp on it, for pennies on the dollar, just like you did. It is a fab piece in my kitchen. I keep it next to my stove with my cooking oils and such on it.
I'm going to make this, you are a genius!
Once again - Brilliant!!
Okay I almost choked when I saw that top one was 249.00! Yours looks just as classy - total genius! I need one for my craft space too! Thanks for the idea.
I actually like yours better!
awesome!!! I gotta remember to do something like this for my dining room side table
I really like this project. Very clever and quit useful.
O wow! I really need one of these. Must get to a Goodwill ASAP.
This is such a great idea!! Way to go! These turned out great!
