Yard Sticks to the Rescue ...

Too many yard sticks laying around?  Probably not, but collecting them for this project might be kinda fun.   This Drum Table Rescue is from Life on Walnut Street



After I found this on Sarah's blog I wondered what others might be doing with yard sticks, so I went to Pinterest ... wow ... there are several things.  Here are a few several ....

First up are some quite similar to this first drum table, but I wanted to remember the look:
A square table from Country Living



Cut the sticks like this from HERE



Or completely cover a dresser like this HERE



I saw some stairs with yardsticks, like this one from DesignSponge



There were some shelving and cubby units made with yardsticks like these:
For books, containers, drawer pulls, or wall hooks - from My Sweet Savannah






Drawer organizers like this from Lady Goats, which was inspired by something from Pottery Barn





A box or crate from Seven Sisters



Here is a light shade from Apartment Therapy



A yardstick tray from Mamie Jane's






After checking all these from Pinterest I took a look on google search and found some of the same items, but also this one interesting post from Dishfunctional Designs.  It too, has some of the same items, but it has a several others that are quite fun to see and maybe even try.  No photos are added from that sight, just have to take a look at their post - You Rule! Yardsticks and Rulers Upcycled - it will be worth it.

So, where's a yardstick when you need one? or ten? or twenty, or more?
