trash to treasure items: {shutters and wooden chair}

8.26.2013

I have a couple more "trash to treasure" makeovers to show you! Remember THIS ONE?  (And more coming too... I need to work on them instead of blog. Ha!)

This was a chair I found beside a curb, and wanted to use it around our DINING TABLE. Unfortunately, it was a little bit too unstable. I had a couple of wreaths resting on it downstairs and decided that I loved this look - as porch decor, that is.

Would you put that on your porch?


And another little pair of shutters, found on the same run, got a couple of coats of mint green and an icy white wreath. I think it'd be perfect on someone's mantle. Not mine, of course, but hopefully someone's! (I don't have a mantle, in case you were confused.)


THE DESK is awaiting the final touches as are a few other pieces.

And ... it's party week this week! I'll be featuring a birthday party, baby shower and a pretty party dress.

Junking (!)

6.17.2013

This past weekend, my favorite picker friend and I (with her husband for some brawn and an extra vehicle) scouted the "big garbage pick up" neighborhoods north of us.

IT WAS CRAZY. The area was literally crawling with trucks and trailers and vehicles piled so high with junk that you wouldn't believe! Some had a method to their madness (metal scrappers), others not so much.

I came away with a few things.




Most of it is wood for the Market, but I'll probably retop and repaint the sewing cabinet (I just need to choose an idea!) and sell it on CL.

Aren't the skis great?? They need a good hosing down, but my dad learned to ski on a pair very similar to these in the 60s!!

At the same pile I found the skis I also found two amazing dresses from the 50s! Yes, friends, trash pile fashion. That's how I roll. Will feature these as soon as they are spiffed up.

Cheers!
