O.K., Amy, now I want a deli paper dispenser! I'm so impressed, I would have never thought of that many possibilities! How cool!

Love your pins, Pennyheaven! I agree with DownHomeDIY, Etsy is a great place for your creations, they only allow handmade items.Super idea!

Janwinn, love your pieces, especially the candle holder! What a great repurposing idea!
By the way, I have a great friend in the UK, she's in Chippenham, southwest of London, near Swindon. Traveled there a couple of times, love it!

Great place! Thanks for the story! Might get there one of these days!

Wow, Junkismystyle! What a great job! I particularly love the trio of doors with the mirrors, what a practical way to have a 3way mirror unit! And the headboard is just fab! I enjoy working with doors too, they're fun to make things out of!

Love the "grate" idea, Faeryhollow! I too, love junking in the Charleston area. It's one of my favorite places to get away! There's a Restore/Habitat store heading out to Folly Beach that always has great leftover building supplies, etc. I've found left over windows, porch columns, and antique dining chairs there many times. Also, "Pages Thieves Market" in the big barn-like house, is just before you get out to the Habitat Store. They handle antiques and estate auctions. Some things are pricy, others are bargains, and you never know what you'll find. Lots of chippy, peely yard stuff too!

Alicemom,
Love the shelf! I've got several victorian style corbels, but they're so big, that the shelves made out of them w/2 corbels come out really large. This is a great idea for those! Your hubby sounds like mine, "step away from the tools, sweetie"! Thanks!

Hi Janwin,
Love the frame! I have a large collection of vintage stamps I bought at a yard sale (car boot sale, for you) a while back. And I've often considered decorating a frame with them but haven't gotten around to the project. Yours has inspired me!
Thanks!
Wanda

I love this idea, Bec4! How cool! I also have one of these, left over from another project, but I couldn't decide how to use it. Thanks so much for the idea! I might could get it done in time for my daughter's bday! Keep posting!

I totally agree, what an inspiring piece! I understand your hesitance to take the toolbox apart, I often feel this way also. But you can always use that piece to create something else truly unique!

These little tables were always popular! I heard them called half-moon tables before, really. I had one I picked up at a yard sale many years ago for $5. I kept it for quite awhile until I got into business and started selling most of what I find, hee, hee! I painted it white, distressed it and sold it fairly quickly. Back to yours, I also, like it just as it is, chipping paint and all!

Great old sign, Shamrockin! Maybe it was the name of a homeplace or a ranch or something? You never know! Super find!

Boy, you've been busy, Shamrockin! I also like the idea of a hall table, or perhaps a wall shelf where the shelf piece is attached where the chair seat must have been. Good Luck!

Hi Shamrockin, I love old bottles and jars! They are like the tupperware of yesteryear! I actually made some lamps out of vintage canning jars, and sold most all of them. Currently, I'm really into purple glass, it's cool. If you'll check out Sue and Ki's first book, "Decorating Junkmarket Style", you'll find several uses for old bottles.
Best Wishes!

Hi Junkermidge,
Love the shutter projects! I'm especially fond of things to make from shutters. My question is, with the DVD tower shutters, was there a open/close louver on those? How do you keep it from moving about, or did you? I was just wondering if that was a problem or not. I did make a plant stand from 4 shutters a couple of times, and sold each of them. I never thought about putting DVDs in them.
Again, great ideas!
Thanks!

Hi Sue,
Love the projects from toothbrush holders! Like Junkermidge, I hadn't thought much about using toothbrush holders. But wait, while looking at your projects, I thought of something else! In your first book, you guys had a great vintage porch post with car mirrors on it's sides to hold candles. I loved it, I copied it and sold mine. I've been looking for some more vintage car mirrors w/o much luck lately. So your the toothbrush holders would work as candle holders on my other vintage porch post! I'm so excited, now I've just got to go look for toothbrush holders! See ya!

Hi Bluejean,
I love the message boards! I've done some with other architectural elements, but not doors, windows and screens. And I have some of these in my storage. I have a question for you though. I had a hard time finding cork board. I finally found some in a roll; and it was very thin, almost to thin to stick the pin in. Where did you get your cork board? And how was it sold? Thanks a bunch!

Love your V-day cards! I have quite a few old valentine's postcards; what a great idea!

SnowmanHill, love the door shelf! I have old doors, I've seen corner shelves made out of the doors but not a wall shelf. How cool is that! Thanks for sharing!

Chovey,
I just recently joined the Junkmarket Blog after looking at projects for awhile! I love "spoondalier"! I'm always picking up stainless and silver flatware for chimes, what another super idea! Thanks for sharing!

lpacker458, love the collar! Well, I love anything with vintage buttons on it! Super cute idea! And your dog is a great model, my cat would run and hide under the bed!

Hi Junkmama1,
Love the necklaces! I too, am a hugh silverware junkie. I have a few dozen pieces right now and I've been playing around with jewelry ideas. My problem is that I'm also pulled into another project so easily, I think the common term is ADD! I have a shop on Etsy and I do see lots of silverware jewelry but craftmanship vs. price is always a major draw to buyers. It's pretty easy to set up your shop and I'm sure your jewelry would get attention!
Good Luck!

Wow pizzawife, love the table! And your title for it is way cool! My shop in SC is called The Grapevine. Beatiful work!

Hello Fauxwoman, love the studio! The french table is awesome! I live in SC, so I've been in Greensboro before, actually shopping @ Rhine's Country Cupboard (great salvage place)! I didn't know about the Revolution Mill Studios, what a cool looking place.

Junkmama, love your teacup candle holders! Maybe cottagejunk would be a cute way to describe them. I've probably got some of these materials hiding out somewhere. Hope you don't mind if I make something similiar. You know what they say, imitation is the best form of flattery!
Wanda

Hi PlumberDaughter,
I love your candle holders! Great idea! I actually made some very similiar out of stair spindles, except I cut mine off at several different heights and painted them funky colors. I've actually sold most of these in my shop. People do like them!
