I am amazed at how much glass you come across. You do a fabulous job with your projects. Love them all!
Candy

What a great, meaningful piece! I was pleasantly surprised to see how large it was in the third photo. Nice job and I bet it looks awesome in person!
Candy

Ha! Ha! I'm sure we ALL have projects that don't quite get done in a timely manner. Yours is adorable for a little one...and possibly some 15 year olds. ;)

Thanks for posting.
Candy

Wow! These are lovely! Thanks so much for sharing with everyone how you accomplished this look. (And your friend is a sweetheart to think of you when giving these).
Candy

LOVE these display ideas, Gretchen. The wire cage turned cloche is such a great find! And I am especially drawn to all your bottle brush trees. They are simple and sweet and really enhance the items for sale.

Wishing you much success during this selling/buying season!
Candy

Even though you haven't been able to find vintage burlap sacks, I LOVE the idea of embellishing new burlap yourself. Beautifully done, Janis!
Candy

I see so many great things! I'd love to have that "chicken condo"!
Candy

The best use of old ironing boards I've seen! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Candy

Oooo. The finish is fantastic against the color of your home. And I am so impressed with how well-made your piece is. Nicely done!
Candy

This is killer! Love the look AND the use!
Great job and thank you for the inspiration.
Candy

Lucky you!
Candy

Wow! Perfect spot...perfect use! Aren't you glad you dragged it home? ;)

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Beautifully done! The corbel is just fabulous in your display.
Candy

How cute!

Welcome! Welcome! Thanks so much for sharing with everyone. I'm sure you've inspired many to give them a try.
Candy

It all looks so nice. Beautifully displayed!
CAndy

As I've said before, LOVE how your booth was made! Looks like great stuff all around too and happy you girls had fun!
Candy

Fantastic! This looks wonderful.
Candy

Oh so comfy-cozy looking. You don't happen to have some warm apple or pumpkin pie somewhere in the background, do you?
Candy

I LOVE this display! The faucet handles remind me of belt buckles in this piece. So nice!
Candy

My goodness, I am loving those old drawers! And I need to be on the lookout for some of the old battery jars now that I know what they are. Hope you get the ones shown here so you can share your pretty little scene with us!
Candy

Love the distressing. It looks so nice with your decor!
Candy

Very nice. I agree that the varying heights will make a great display! Excellent job!
Candy

Wow, Kathy! You do have an awesome stash of collectibles. Your photo with the bubble-like mirror is so cool with the multi-clock reflection. I am also impressed with your button collection. I don't seem to have gorgeous ones like these.

Nice post!
Candy

Loving all the blues in your display too! Beautiful.
Candy

This looks lovely! That grate is something else.
Candy

This turned out fabulous! Beautiful job!
Candy

Wow! These are great! Thanks so much for introducing me to tea chests. I had never seen these before. Your addition of casters really make them nice.

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

OMGoodness, Ms. Marybeth! You did an amazing job and I LOVE your color pallette! I think that workbench is just way too cute to be that far away from me!

Congrats on the award! What a worthy cause to be part of.
Candy

You are hilarious, Sue! This couldn't be any more creative or adorable. Here's to a junky life for the happy couple!
Candy

This turned out fabulous, Andrea! I bet it looks cool looking down on it with the cross bars meeting in the middle. A nice X.

Candy
Who is very impressed with your power tool skills, by the way. :)

What a perfect tree branch for your display. I am loving your little trick-or-treater profile pic too!
Candy

Well put together. I love all your white glass!
Candy

I don't know how I missed this months ago, but absolutely love it! Very, very nice.
Candy

Oh, this is cute! Very creative indeed.
Candy

I could see your rusty lantern being used in so many different centerpiece displays. Beautifully done.
Candy

Your Halloween display is fantastic! The piece from the lamp fixture is such a creative use. Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Oh, this is cool! So very impressive!
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

How fun! Love the photo showing them all together. VERY cute!
Candy

Isn't it amazing just by looking at others' collections, it can be so thrilling? Your wheels are drawing me in...wondering if there is something in the works for those?? And I just so happen to pick up my first set of black vintage dominos last weekend in their original box. So excited!...too scared to glue though...put them in a glass bottle with a lid for now so I can just look at them on my mantle.
Candy

Wouldn't have thought these were two separate pieces. Well done!
Candy

Oh so very pretty!
Candy

Freebies are a good thing. What a great piece.
Candy

I have never seen such a thing but am so glad I did with your post! Nicely done!
Candy

Round and round and round she goes. Where she stops, nobody knows. We have a winner!! What a wonderful abundance of curvilinear collections, Sue! I will take one of each and be on my way.

As far as my collections go...looks look I am a girl that likes shiny things. Busted up and broken perhaps, but always shiny. :)

Great post.
Candy

Absolutely the best piece of art for that space. Love it.
Candy

Just adorable! The scrappy ears make them even cuter.
Candy

This is beautiful! I just purchased old sheet music last weekend and have been contemplating what to do with it. Well done!
Candy

Such a nice, simple idea we can all give a try. I bet this gives off a pretty glow on your front porch.
Candy

These are fabulous! Wonderful idea.
Candy

How perfect is that! Love this.
Candy

Just what the doctor ordered! Thank you for sharing and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!
Candy

Very, very creative! Silhouettes are always beautiful, however, I love how you lit it all up.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Candy

That is one cool bucket! Loving the floor lamp idea too.

Candy

Hi bev1955 and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Your fall decor is adorable and I am loving on those brick pumpkins!

Definitely post often.
Candy

Very nice! Glad to see you were able to give a new use to an old vanity.
Candy

Love the colors and her pose is adorable!
Candy

Wow, Andrea! This post looks like it came straight from a magazine photo shoot! I really love the sheet music placemats(I just picked up a few books myself at a rummage sale), so thank you for the wonderful visual. The old lighting fixture turned candleholder is one of the prettier ones I've seen. And the cow tags as wine charms...well, that's just too stinkin' cute!

Gorgeous post, my friend! You do amazing work.
Candy

Nicely done!
Candy

This is all just so gorgeous! I've been getting more and more into the rustic look and absolutely love the wreath and fence. Well done.
Candy

There are so many things about this project I love. Just perfect!
Candy

What a great first post! You definitely distracted these eyes, I'll tell you! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more.
Candy

That is one cool piece of plumbing you got there MB! Love how you used it.
Candy

Boy do I want to trick or treat at your house...even if you don't want anyone to come a'knocking. ;) You are hilarious using dry ice. I've seen a sign for it in a store window nearby and have always been intrigued. Leave it to you to go for the gustow!

Now toss one of those popcorn balls in my bag...er, I mean, TRICK OR TREAT! I am loving your Halloween Junk Style.
cANdy aLLeN

Cool idea! My 4-year-old stumbled upon a red rotary phone for sale recently and asked me "Is this a real phone?" Heehee. I'm sure it looked somewhat cartoon-ish to her since the only other time she'd seen one was on Cartoon Network on a Tom & Jerry episode. ;)

Very creative!
Candy

Doreen - What a talent you have! I love them all, but the sweet little chenille one really grabs me the most. Absolutely adorable!
Candy

Heehee. :)
Candy

Great idea! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style, Robyn! Would love for you to share more of your projects.
Take care,
Candy

What a great idea...and great finishes too!
Candy

Love the scalloped top!
Candy

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing.
Candy

So cute! Love the one with the wide open grin. Thanks for sharing your holiday ideas with us!
Candy

Love it Georgia! I think my favorite idea is the one with spanish moss and a fern. Very cute!
Candy

By looking at the finished project, it is almost hard to imagine it came from pig crates! Truly a creative transformation. I keep looking at your photos in disbelief! Very, very cool.
Candy

Add me to learning here about the clamp-on lamp kit. Your vignette looks fantastic!
Candy

Welcome Michelle! I really like the neutral tones of your project. The quilt squares are gorgeous!
Candy

You are a funny one, Mr. Jim! Loved reading your post as much as I enjoyed viewing your project. Vintage holiday goods are awesome but I think the way you put them together made them simply spook-tacular!! Nice going!
Love that green wood too.
Candy

Old windows are the best! They can often be used as home decor AND have a function as you've shown in your home.

Thanks for the great post!
Candy

Looks fabulous! What a great space for your scrapbooking. I love the eclectic mix of your cubbies, the old door, the glass top and the green stool!
Beautifully done and it's nice to hear your hubby played a big role in it.
Candy

Yes. The lighting looks beautiful on it! Very good reuse.
Candy

It may be "another window project", but I'm glad you shared it with us! Fantastic work! It's always fun to see everyone's styles and yours is very cool.
Great job.
Candy

How beautiful! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style and wishing you the best at your show!
Candy

How fun!

Amy - Ron did a fantastic job on this lamp. I think it is so cool how everything fit together so perfectly as if it were meant to be! I'll admitI would have never thought of using a hurricane for anything other than a candle holder.
Nice work and happy to hear of the sale!
Candy

Ahhhhh. This is a beautiful sight for any mom of young ones. I've been one for ten years and STILL work on solutions for organizing all the paperwork and notes from school! Love everything you've shown. The little clock station would be great for my first grader.

Thanks Laurel!
Candy

Oh, he's cute!
Candy

Great finds. Gifts from the in-law are always nice!
Candy

Cute. Cute. Cute. And functional! Love it Marybeth!
Candy

Wonderful saves! I can see many o' projects sitting right there.
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Wow! What a way to use those old drawer bottoms! Love the simple graphic quality of each number. It makes every item look special (and organized)!
Candy

Love this idea! I remember those word cards so well but have not seen any in years. Such a colorful, fun shower! Glad to see you on JMS!
Candy

Wonderfully clever! I bet it sounds fabulous.
Candy

I just love the simplicity of this look. It looks fabulous with your mason jar tea lights.

Welcome to JMS! Would love to see more from you.
Candy

This is so lovely. I love all the wonderful pieces you've included with it.
Candy

Love the one with the barley twist!
Candy

I love the neutrals of your papers. Both pieces are just so soothing and to look at.

Nicely done!
Candy

Love it!
Candy

This is bone-a-fide brilliant! You rock!
Candy

What a great idea to add the magnets so you can switch out your seasonal decor! Looks great and glad to see you posting.
Candy

DITTO what Georgia said! That is EXACTLY how I felt the first moment I saw these photos! This is a DREAM HAUL, Kathy, and you and Terri deserve each and every one of these babies! (So do I...but you found them first.) ;) Heehee.

Great job you lucky ladies!! I can only imagine how much more impressive your booth space is going to look with these beauties!
Candy

Your last photo kind of freaks me out...too much personality in that face. ;)
Love it!
Candy

Yep! I want one. What a fun way to keep track of your weekly meals.
Candy

These are just beautiful. Nicely done!
Candy

What an inspiration, Marie! Your craft room looks amazing! I am so impressed with your locker storage. Jealous. Jealous. Jealous. :)

Candy

The paint changed it up so nicely! Great distressing too.
Candy

Your finish is very nice and it is a great transformation. Well done!
Candy

Beautifully displayed with such a great variety of pumpkins!
Candy

You know how old houses have character? Well, this salad bowl has character! I think I'm equally intrigued by the old jump rope you used with it too. And now that I'm all geared up to make a healthy dinner tonight, I better get skippin'!
Very well done, Sue!
Candy

You chose wonderful colors! Nice job on this.
Candy

Love the mix! Nice work.
Candy

Wow! What a transformation! I too love black painted furniture and think you did a terrific job on the distressing.

So glad you were finally able to post your project! Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
Take care,
Candy

What a perfect piece for their anniversary! Well done.
Candy

Sorry to you for all your pain, but so happy for us to see such a great idea! ;) I really love this. Love that little buttoned flower embellishment too.

Give your hands a good soaking. Nice work.
Candy

Nice shopping, Jim! Your photos are stunning...so vibrant and, well, so fall-like! I thought of using my vintage fleamarket cart in a display and your visual helps tremendously. Love. Love. Love.
Candy

Love all the pieces chosen...especially that gear! Looks great!
Candy

I haven't come across vintage flashcards yet. I love what you did with yours!
Candy

Welcome, Wendy! I really love what you've done. The red box is fantastic!
Candy

So nice to hear your creations are selling! I knew they would!
Candy

Your latest creations are beautiful, Alice!
Candy

Love all the shades of neutral. Beautifully done!
Candy

Just adorable, Jackie! We're enjoying you and your projects as well. Can't wait to see more!
Candy

Beautiful work. The distressed finish makes it! Congrats on the order!
Candy

So BOOO-ti-ful, Janis! Someone had to say it, eh? ;)

Never knew Halloween could be quite so lovely!
Candy

I can honestly say I can't decide which I like more - the aprons or the bags. Wow! Fabulous work!
Candy

Thanks everyone! I was feeling really good when I found this and I hope there's one out there for each of you!

Midge - The rack measures 19"x19" and fits right between my stove and refrigerator on the counter. It is only 10" deep so that still leaves me with prep space when cooking.

Gailmarie! You organized thing you. :)
Candy

I will now refer to you as POTTINGMASTER. Such a fun idea! I can't get over how perfectly it works as a potting station. The flower from the grilling parts is fantastic as well!
Candy

So wonderful! Potting table, wine bar, outdoor pantry. I love the multi-functional uses for your creations. Make sure your husband knows there are many here in awe of these projects.
Candy

Love them and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Great use of all things junk!
Candy

Love all of it MB! I can't get over the finish on the dresser and love the apple juicer/corer.(I think Gailmarie hit on something there...better than my vice comment on FB, eh?)

Repurposing, refreshing and reusing what you already have is one of the definitions of a "green" home. You accomplished all that and then some.
Great job!
Candy

Wonderful transformation! I am actually taking a break from painting a $2 table black myself. Time for a second/third coat.
Nice work.
Candy

This turned out fabulous! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style chacha!
Candy

Very nice! I see old poker chips all the time. What a creative and beautiful use for them.
Thanks for sharing!
Candy

I can die now that I've been able to visit this shop. No kidding. ;)

Have fun Sue and hope you see droves of JMS members!
Candy

Fabulous work! I've never tiled before but am always envious of those that do. The table turned out beautifully.
Glad to see you posting again!
Candy

This is such a gorgeous piece and I love that you made it into a gate. The setting is not so bad either. ;)

Thank you for sharing. I just love it.
Candy

How cool is that! I actually looks as if it were meant for that purpose. Thank you for sharing. I have seen gold filigree frames before at thrift stores and wonder if any would be large enough for this idea.
Nice job!
Candy

Gailmarie! Your pieces just get better and better! I love the nail hair...I bet she goes for guys with mohawks.

Way to think creatively to soften the arms. I would never have thought of that.
Candy

Way to change this up, Marie! Very nice.
Candy

Wonderful table! Best of luck with your art and craft show! I am sure you will do well.
Candy

Man! You were thinking! I love how the wire basket allows all the extra dirt to go straight down into the bin. You should see my deck when I pot plants! Perfect use, Georgia. Your potting station is deserving of a royal crown.
Candy

Wow! This cannot be easy with so many curves of each bottles. Thank you for sharing. You are one talented artist!
Candy

How adorable! I bet the orange is really hard to find.
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Nicely done. You can really add a lot of interest to your home by doing this. Very nice!
Candy

Love how you accessorized it! And I also live by Sue's advice of turning things every which way until creativity sparks.

Lovely, lovely post, Lani!
Candy

From a dictionary! Love that. I wanted to include magnets in my booth and have a botany book I could sift through. Thank you for the inspiration!
Candy

Love your both Troy! You really have a knack for layering, which I love. Hope it was successful for you...despite the weather.
Candy

She's fantastic! I'm always curious the size of your art pieces. Is Globetrotter over a foot tall? Very, very cool.
Candy

Love this. All the pieces seem to work together nicely.
Candy

Beautifully done! Krylon paint is one of the best in my opinion and I use it all the time. Love the glossy finish! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style,Cara! Can't wait to see more.
Candy

How perfect! It definitely looks like a nice piece of art and I know ceiling tins can be VERY expensive. Excellent find. Excellent price. Excellent all around!
Candy

Love the scavenger assemblage. And the comparison of a crow to a junker is so true! :) Wonderful creations.
Candy

You really paint a pretty picture with your loaf of french bread comment. I'd love this on my dining table!
Well done,
Candy

Wow! What a great post to wake up to this morning! Love the lettering, the wood, the tie clips and the size of this project.
Thanks for another inspiring post, Sue. Now where to find wood pipes? I'll figure it out.
Take care,
Candy

Just beautiful! The earrings give such a nice shiny bling to your tree. Well done.
Candy

Genious! Never would have thought of it.
Candy

How nice! I bet that will keep you and your son busy for a while. Congrats!
Candy

Are those glass knobs as feet? Brilliant! Way to think all upside down-like, Sharon. I am impressed.
Candy

Congrats, Anne! Your booth looks fantastic! Wishing you much success with your new venture.
Candy

Wonderful save! How about sitting it next to the front or side door to hold car keys, wallet, or all the little things you need to take with you when leaving? I am loving all the ideas so far and can't wait to hear how you use it!
Candy

I too love the button paperweight! You could put all kinds of trinkets under there...but I love the white and cream buttons.

Midge - Definitely mark your calendar for the spring show! I've confirmed with Kathy that I'll be there as well and it would be great fun to have a junker gathering!

Kathy - I just may see you at Scott's! We've chosen to stay in Columbus during Thanksgiving (Wed-Fri) at a waterpark down there. Going to COSI on Friday but I'm going to try to schedule a few hours at Scott's! Fingers crossed!

Great post again, Kathy.
Candy

Thank you everyone. I am surprised by the great amount of positive feedback I've received on this post. Here, my blog and from guests at a recent party I held. You are all too kind.

Jim - Out of the stack of eight I found, there are probably five that have simple graphics that may be worthy of replicating. The cardboard tops are in bad shape on some of them.

Lani - That would be so cool if some had metal tops, however, they are all cardboard. Drats!

Janis - The party was last Saturday and it was fabulous! I was busy preparing up until the last moment...well even during the party. Approximately 40 people were there and unfortunately heavy rains kept us all inside. We still had a great time though. Thank you for asking. :)
Candy

Hi Tess and welcome to JMS! Love your cool style.
Candy

So many brass chandeliers. So little time. Love yours.
Candy

That waterbed hutch is fantastic! Have you not shown that to us before? Wow! Love your color palette in the rest of your home. Makes me want to curl up on that leather chair of yours with coffee in hand.

Nice post, RustyDiva!
Candy

So unique. So pretty.
Candy

Love the little metal chair that your mum business is set up on. ;) Great fall decor!
Candy

What a gorgeous creation! Love all the vintage pretties added to it.
Candy

Wowee! I have a couple of the shorter rulers that I have yet to touch. Now that I see your floating frames with them, I think I just might!
Thanks for a great project, Jim!
Candy

She's cute!
Candy

Terrific project! I too love the addition of the bar. So functional now!
Candy

Very cool, girl! One of these days I'll make it there!
Candy

Hi junkinator and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Your boot scootin' planters put a smile on my face and I am eyeing your pottery collection in the background.

Can't wait to see more from you.
Candy

I LOVE the child's cabinet and can't wait to see what you ladies come up with! I am sure it will be fantastic!

I like how Lani dubbed you our "roving reporter". You've done a fine job my friend, and it makes us want to attend the Extravaganza even more!
Candy

That spoon is off the hook! Haha! Seriously, that is one cute project. Thanks so much for sharing!
Candy

How cute is that! I love all things Candy Land! What an adorable project.
Candy

**Jim's story cracked me up too!

Just gorgeous! So I take it you're hosting the next party for us?
Beautifully done!
Candy

Hi and welcome to JMS! Love your tablescape and can't wait to see more.

Candy

Thank you everyone! I was thrilled to find the tables however I must say I had a "Elizabeth...I'm coming to join ya" moment when my eyes caught the black and white plaid one! I seriously knew right away what I wanted it for.

Kathy - Not sure what I'll be doing with the rest of them -some of the vintage designs are cool. Unfortunately most of the tops are warped or don't seem very sturdy in their current condition. It may be kind of cool to replicate the designs (ala JunkArchitect) on plywood though or other thin board because the legs are still wonderful.

Ya'll who are interested are all invited to come trolling with me anytime! But most times I find my curbside offerings when I least expect it!
Happiness to all!
Candy

She's just too cool. The boots are awesome!
Candy

Gorgeous! I love seeing how we all inspire one another. Love what you did, Janis, and I will definitely check out Sue's stuff from chiccottagejunk as well!

Candy

Wonderful job! Aren't Sue's books fantastic for inspiration? I too love your choice of copper brackets.

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

Bet you have lots of fans around here for your low maintenance garden art. Myself included!

Candy

Simply sweet! You're a real pro at using scraps out of just about anything!

Thanks MB!
Candy

Very nice, Kathy! I love your diner dishes and can see why you sold quite a few! Terri's jewelry is gorgeous too and forgot that she even makes it.

I am planning on being at the Spring Extravaganza! We'll have to talk!

Take care,
Candy

You are just plain KILLER, Sue! I tried and tried to come up with a junk piece that was so not you, and you STILL came up with something totally cool and beautiful!

Good thing I kept one of these for myself. Now I know what to do with it! ;)

Candy

I like your "so this is how it all began" story. What a great piece to have.

Take care,
Candy

A+! Love it!
Candy

Love every one of these Lani! I'm just so surprised how a piece of glass finished off that chimney top! I think it's my favorite but think they are all great.

Great post!
Candy

Ahhhh....memories! I absolutely loved your junk piece and just knew it would place!! Such the creative one you are!

I'd also like to add that not only did you make this fabulous piece that held our healthy goodies that day...you also donated it to a breast cancer charity event held by JMS member(s) after the blog party. Lovely. Lovely.

Wonderful acceptance speech, my friend! I see many more in your future...
Candy

Love the one from a leftover 4x4 and old hardware. Very sweet!
Candy

Great repurpose!
Candy

I think your idea of placing it in a child's room or nursery is so adorable! Especially if the decor was all vintage inspired.

Your projects are very inspirational, Marie, and I always look forward to see what you come up with next.
Candy

I think you already had a pretty cool "Handy Boy" yourself, with your welder husband. ;) Very, very nice! I really love the versatility of this project and think it looks great on your patio. Nice going!

Your sign is the best too!
Candy

Nope. These were all part of Ms. Kathy's bag of tricks! Heehee.
Candy

I love the addition of the upholstery webbing and the simple ittle clips. Very nice! What a great place to hang all your doodads!
Candy

I like this! Wonderful save and creative seat!
Candy

Completely blown away by how well the pieces look together on this piece. The body and legs look go perfectly!
Thanks for sharing more of your great creations.
Candy

Haha! Love the guy in his hand!
Candy

She's cool! Great to see you posting!

Candy

Love that old window screen as a door. Your hard work paid off!
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

I found an exact replica on the roadside years ago and as I stopped to pick it up, a woman from the house, while getting in her car said her husband made her get rid of it. He thought it was ugly...she said "I KNEW it wasn't!" and thanked me for picking it up. :)

Great find AtticusFinch!
Candy

Excellent job, Sue! I think Ken hit the nail on the head with the "chinese finger" explanation. Didn't it get "stuck" on someone's finger that night? Thanks Ken!

Nice going as usual.
Candy

I love functional junk! Very well done.
Candy

This is a perfect idea for a child's room! How cute!
Candy

Marie - This turned out fabulous! You definitely got a great deal on it, and by painting the drawers in the multi-colors, the piece fits right in with your craft/sewing room.

Nice work, my friend.
Candy

Junior junkers are the best and what a couple of creative cuties you have there! Nice job, kids!
Candy

Great use of never-used punch bowl glasses too! Oftentimes I'll just use my bowl and keep the glasses socked away. Great job!
Candy

So thrifty and beautiful save!
Candy

Wow! I hated to have missed all the fun but loved seeing everyone celebrating your day, Sue! Good times. Laurel's quote from your junk award is awesome! "...Inspiring us to waste not, and want EVERYTHING!", and her gift is so unique. (Old wood stove top? Very cool). In fact ALL the gifts were fantastic and so thoughtful! Wowee wow!

I'm all in for a junker's reunion as well! We'd all have big fun undoubtedly!
Candy

How cute is that! Very well done, my friend.
Candy

I LOVE your window area! The moulding and knobs are so pretty and I really like the door knob as a curtain tieback holder.
Candy

Troy - Let me just start by saying how much I appreciate you sharing instructions on your projects so we can all give it a try. Thanks for this post and the inspiration behind it. I really love the end result!

Beautifully done as always. :)
Candy

Wow! Before and after shots are always the best! Yours looks fabulous and is a world of difference between the two! Nice done.
Candy

Oooo. Simply sweet!
Candy

Perfect solution! I see old gun cabinets at thrift stores and garage sales all the time. Beautiful job and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!
Candy

How cool! Great idea on the spooky photos!
Candy

I love how your coffee table turned out. Nicely done, converting it from an old dining table you weren't using!
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Aha! There it is! Very nice job, creativejunquer. I love functional junk the best!
Candy

The color is fabulous! You definitely picked the right one!
Candy

This turned out beautifully! Great work!
Candy

This is just some plain ol' fun! I really love this and the wood color is TDF!
Candy

Love the vintage pretties!
Candy

The sign is divine! I'd be keeping that puppy! ;)
All my best,
Candy

Hey birthday girl! Mine was on the 9th! I love how you celebrated with your "simple" projects on your day. The rock garden display looks great!
Candy

I love this and now knowing its former use makes it even cooler. Great find! Lani's idea about having an assigned number would come in handy at my house too!
Candy

Brilliant! So stinking cool!
Candy

Love it! It reminds me of the old bus scrolls. And I agree, you have an amazing sourse for your vinyl letters!

Beautiful job, Janis! Would love one of these myself.
Candy

Exactly! A good garage sale day makes it a good day.
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Haha! Quick, write it down! I am the same way and get thrilled with completing a project within a day...as rare as it is. Love the multi-colors!
Candy

Oh, I am especially loving the base! Very cool!
Candy

Well look at you go! I am loving on your jewelry, Alice.
Candy

Who would have thought? Beautiful post milkmaid! Happy to have you here.

Take care,
Candy

Very nice! Thank goodness for ugly Christmas decorations or someone else may have snagged it up!
Candy

Love. Love. Love. I am amazed at how nicely all the pieces came together! Brilliant job, my friend. and all my best during Springfield.

Candy

You have been one busy lady! Beautiful work.!
Candy

Love your collection of multi-colored bottles! Very nice!
Candy

Absolutely cool! Your awards have been well deserved.
Candy

This is just gorgeous! The pieces came together as if they were meant to be.

Welcome to JMS! Can't wait to see more.

Candy

Gretchen - I love your pieces with the number$! Fabulous work, my friend, and I wish you all the best at the Bonanza!

Candy

Such a beautiful tribute to today, Midge. Love the memories you shared along with the simple addition of wildflowers.

Nicely done, my friend.
Candy

Hi jsouciekitt and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! I LOVE old license plates but wow! You really have some collection! Nicely done. Glad you got yourself a farm boy! :)

Take care,
Candy

Oh, I like it much better that way too, Doreen. Looks fab!
Candy

Beautifully done, AB. I hope this has helped you with healing.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing.
Candy

Wow! This is such a nice one! I found a blog called Crows on the Cupola, and they built a wooden structure for their cupola to sit on. Planted a pretty garden around it too.

Check out the photos...and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!

Candy

Oh, this is the coolest! Wonderful save!
Candy

I would think you could use zip ties to attach your metal pieces together. You can snip them pretty closely once you have a tight fit.

I love your shutter projects in your daughters' rooms. Your daughter who likes to put crayons in the metal boxes definitely has a creative spirit too!

Take care,
Candy

Very, very cool. The composite doll head on the mercury glass is my favorite!

Thanks for sharing great doll decor tips for Halloween! Fun stuff.

Candy

Fabulous chandelier! Fits perfectly with your gazebo and contents. Definitely keep the posts coming! I'd love to see more.
Candy

Oh, I can understand how you couldn't mess with these babies. Wonderful collection!
Candy

I know you are a black and white kind of girl, Lani, but I am loving your touches of retro red in this post! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Pleasure chest!

You truly make things look effortless!
Candy

You need to start selling prints of your inspirational art pieces. Love the close-up on this one!

Excellent job, Jenny!
Candy

What a cool addition to your roost there, Ms. Midge! You are one creative chick, I tell ya.

I appreciate all the hard work you put into this piece...the end result looks fabulous!
Candy

Yay MB! Congrats on becoming a contributor! You can entertain me anytime. Maybe I can even have some of that pig butt and pickled something-or-other I've heard you speak of. ;)

Can't wait to see more from you.
Candy

She's wonderful! And yes, I giggled when I saw her decorating tips. ;)

I love how you name your pieces. Even though I don't have a background in music, it is a big part of me. My oldest daughter's middle name is Aria so I truly get what you are saying.

Another great piece, gailmarie!
Candy

Your colander reminds me of the vintage industrial lights used in home. I love the idea of making it lighting however the windchime looks adorable as is.

Let us know if you alter it!
Candy

Hi blubucket and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! The close up shot is terrific! (I think I'd switch it to be your first photo :) I loved seeing all the details of what you used

Nicely done!
Candy

This looks fab! Love your distressing too.
Candy

Lucky you! I would love to see the large mirror on the wall. And definitely another kitchen island vote for the piece with bins.

Take care,
Candy

Better than new! Love it!
Candy

What perfect doors for that use! Love it!
Candy

Oooo. This one looks crazy simple! I don't think I've come across mouthpieces yet, but I sure want to. Love the look!
Candy

Ok, I'm going to have to use one of your phrases with this one, Sue. This is too cool for school! I mean, really. Who else could have come up with such a fab idea? I hope the person comes forward who sent these items to you. I'm sure they are as impressed as we are.

Nice going, girl!
Candy

Fun, fun, fun project! Welcome to posting on JMS! I have seen previous posts requesting uses for old trophies and this is definitely a fantastic idea. Nicely done!
Candy

Hey...I know you! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! I agree completely with LuAnn's comment regarding finding new ideas for old items. That's why when I saw your creation I wanted you to share. You've made the prettiest little piece of art out of this old flower frog! Love how it's personalized too.

I hope you choose to post more of your creations. I know you got it in you! Oh, and I purchased an identical flower frog from a sale today and thought of your wind chime. :)
Take care,
Candy

You know...I think I do remember this tin. Was it from the 70's?? I vaguely remember it - were there cartoon commercials with this kid?

Very, very cool design Gailmarie! You are one creative cookie!

Candy

Haha! You're title made me laugh. Love it!

Way to get rid of those "brassy broads"! I have a few in my house that need to go!

Great designs.
Candy

These old light fixtures are beautiful aren't they? And you've made a lovely centerpiece of yours. Great job!

Stay tuned for a future post from a certain someone. You'll know what I mean when you see it. (wink)

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

Beautifully done! It's amazing what you can come up with just shopping thrift stores. I bet your sister and friends loved it all!
Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Very creative and how thoughtful of you!
Candy

Beautiful as always, Laurel! I think your garden fencing valance is genious! Love your eclectic mix of vintage "junk" with a more modern feel.

Thank you for sharing.
Candy

Look at you go! I really like this Kathy and think your view from "down under" is one of your cooler photos! You've got this whole fence remnant down pat.

Nice work, my friend.
Candy

How wonderful! Great to see you posting! Family junk is the best and I am in awe of your talent at nine years old. I'd love to see that centerpiece of yours Thanksgiving time.

Take care,
Candy

Oh so sweet! I am loving your creations!
Candy

As pretty as the jewelry it will hold! Beautiful job, Janis!
Candy

Lovely, my dear. You've created a beauty!
Candy

Thumbs up! Yay for U!
Candy

LOVE your white pottery with your chicken feeder! So beautifully displayed! The feeder on the back of the range looks so practical, yet cool.

Thanks for a great chicken feeder post!! I have yet to find a feeder myself, here in Ohio, but I'm sure we have chickens somewhere. ;)

Candy

Very cool light fixture, Jim! I've never seen anything like it in all my chicken-feeder-post-watching time.

Excellent job as usual, my friend. Definitely an original!
Candy

I am loving your simple projects Sue! This one looks fantastic with your grouping in the last photo.

Very sweet!
Candy

How cool is that! Love your creativity, Marie. It is truly a gift.
Candy

I absolutely a"door" your doors, tomatosisters! They are all so useful and pretty.

Thank you for sharing!
Candy

Love it, Midge! I could see this fitting into some of your presentations quite nicely.

Caramel Layer Chocolate Squares? Oh me, oh my!
Candy

Oh, she's cute! AND a hard worker!

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

Very fun! I recognize nearly everyone you mentioned from reading their blogs or seeing posts online. LOVE Janna's jewelry and Olde Tyme Marketplace's booth!

And what a hoot you got to meet and hang with MB! Looks like you and Lani had a great time.

Way to bring a bit of the unexpected into your August Floral of the Month too! Hehe. The tip was very good.
Safe travels.
Candy

I used to love sitting in a chair like this at my neighbor's, everytime I'd go over for a visit. Very cute!
Candy

Whoa! I was immediately drawn to the green broaches. So fresh!

Nice finds, divestar!
Candy

Just beautiful AND magazine worthy! Thank you for providing the brand of finish you use. It will be useful information when working with metals.
Take care,
Candy

As soon as I opened your post, I thought these would be killer sellers! It didn't surprise me yours sold as it came off the truck. Great job! And thanks for sharing how you completed it.
Candy

So fresh and new! The cutie in the frame adds to the cuteness factor. :)

Candy

Adorable! The chenile looks fab!
Candy

Cute AND functional is always a great combo! Love it!

I can actually say I'd never seen books on the side of the road either...I almost couldn't believe it!

Shamrockerin - As soon as I sort out the books I will know better what I'm doing for resale. I will definitely let you know. Thanks!

Geo - Hehe. I think there are some that beg to differ with you statement, however, you made me smile. Thank you. :)

I might try some Suzy Q ideas from her Projects from the Pages of a Book post. http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/13656/projects-from-the-pages-of-a-book
I also loved Laurel's suggestion of making a shelf out of some. Very cute!

Thanks all! I'll keep you posted.
Candy

OMGoodness, Laurel! I am so excited for you!! I can only imagine how much fun you had on that day. The grates are to die for and I am amazed at all the old hardware on the doors!

I wish you all the best with your occassional sale dreams! I know you will make it work!

Congrats!
Candy

Nice save! Curbside finds are the best! I recently came across a HUGE stack of old books sitting on the curb in a neighborhood that requires permission from the owner to pick up. Well...I went a knocking on their front door! I wrote about it on my blog here, hehe. - http://bit.ly/vwC2c

My kids know how it is at our house too. ;) Wonderful piece byabpryor!
Candy

Very nice there, Ms. Kathy! I have a bit of old fencing from my parents' place and I must say your cloche has me inspired! It looks wonderful with your silver dish.

Nice work, oh creative one.
Candy

Nice job! The price couldn't be beat!
Candy

Ooooo. A nice, glossy red! Love it!
Candy

Yep! Another paint here. I love DHDIY's suggestion for finish too.

Hope you post your finished project!
Candy

Very cool, Midge! All your ideas are fantastic. I can't believe how neatly your trifle fits in the typewriter! Very cute. I too love the baked bean bowl...looks like some global warming is going on. ;)

I bet you cheered right up after this family cookout! Fun stuff!
Candy

Wow! What a beautiful job! I wish you many wonderful dinners with your family in your new dining room.

Welcome to JMS!
Candy

What a spectacular creation! Such a beauty!
Candy

Totally adorable! I would have never thought to do something like this!

Thanks for sharing,
Candy

This is an absolutely STUNNING piece, Lani. Look for it, along with you and your home, showcased on my blog in an upcoming post.

Love it!
Candy
www.junksophisticate.com

I must say this is a brilliant idea. With all those darn canvas chairs breaking down on us, you've come up with a great reuse. Pillows for camping, to sit on at sporting events, etc. You may be on to something there greencolleen.
Candy

Way to use scraps! Looks fantastic!
Candy

Welcome to JMS, cindee! Anytime a project post starts with "This project did not cost anything to do", my ears perk up!

Such a beautiful and creative piece! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Candy

Haha RustyDiva! It's nice to see you are as friendly in person as you are around here. :)

Beautiful finds, craftyladie! I LOVE the french doors! I vote for room divider as well.
Candy

Welcome, Fiona! I like the way you think and love how these pieces all came together for you.

Brilliant!
Candy

Very nice!
Candy

So beautiful!
Candy

Oh, I love the key and keyhole necklace! Beautiful work.
Candy

Just like new! Very nice!
Candy

Congrats to you Midge! You've got this junk thing down and it sounds like you just need some tweaking on the time you tell your tale. If I were to go to a speaking engagement regarding junk, I'd like to know how the speaker got started, how junk saves money, and to see an easy project completed by the junk expert right in front of me...while being able to view other finished projects after the program.

Way to go and I wish you all the best!
Candy

I say the pink would make a pretty cool junxtaposition with the army piece. Whatever works for you and your decor! Cool find.
Candy

What a cute memory keepsake!
Candy

Oh, that drawer would be perfect on a desktop. My computer monitor would look great sitting on it and I could tuck all my office goodies away! ;)

Candy

Wonderful door display! Wishing you a speedy home sale!
Candy

Oh, you know I'm all over simple projects! How beautiful this one turned out.

Just lovely!
Candy

How cute is that? Oh, the projects you'll do...
Candy

Oh my goodness, I am rolling over here laughing...and I'm not meaning that to be a pun, either!! Love, love, love the project and was at first befuddled with what you were doing with the washers. Fantastic idea!

You are one funny lady with your commentary, Sue, and Jim is knocking the funnies out too! (According to my daughter, "number 3" would be vomiting). Such a good post! Glad I have a couple of these braces in my possession.

Candy

Beautiful! I've never seen a grouping of cordial glasses used for these before. Very pretty!
Candy

Oh, this looks awesome! I've seen the more expensive version and yours is an exact replica. Way to go!

Candy

Your photos and posts already have a signature look to them. I knew right away this was chippingcharm's! :)

Love them.
Candy

Gretchen - what a beautiful post! I knew you had some real goodies in your jewelry pouch but I guess I never imagined how much! You really do have a way with choosing just the right pieces for your jewelry. I'm sure there are many more out there drooling over your photos like I am.

Take care,
Candy

Oh my goodness! I LOVE where this piece ended up! Sad, though, that I missed seeing it hanging in person by mere days. :( Awesome. Awesome. Awesome, Lani!

Going up?
Candy

Kathy - I just had a LONG response to this post and lost it so I'm not happy. ;(

In a nutshell, your post is awesome! LOVE the framed letter/linoleum pieces and all your other picks that were all left back in Oronoco.
Candy

Hi KaitGriffin - A necklace can be purchased through one of JUNKMARKET Style's contributors named Gretchen Schaumann. She designs all her own jewelry and it is fabulous! Gretchen has her contact information listed on her blog. http://mimitoriasdesigns.blogspot.com/

You can also find her here on JMS!
Take care,
Candy

Very cool! Looks as if it was meant to be. Nice job!
Candy

Love the sentiment behind the painted window. Beautifully done!
Candy

Sweet buy! What lovely chairs.
Candy

What a beauty!
Candy

I love those kinds of saves. Nicely done!
Candy

How amazing is that! Glad all that money was saved using your salvaged items. hehe. Worth every penny spent I bet!
Candy

Just lovely. The amber colored glass is wonderful!
Candy

So nicely done! I'm happy to see you posting your projects.
Candy

So glad to see you are posting! And what a great save from the burn pile.

Please share more with us!
Candy

Love the unexpected rake piece! Very cool. Best of luck with your sale!
Candy

Very nice, Sue. I'm sure you'll have many fans interested in this subject matter. Sounds fun and hope you enjoy yourself!
Candy

Thanks everyone! I had a blast and quickly realized I was drawn to certain items on this trip. The metal boxes are one of my favs too!

Gretchen - I didn't know you were nterested in the burlap sacks or else I would have shared. So sorry.

Kathy - Got the spare parts roll as my freebie from the vendor that was doing a little tippin' while sellin' if you know what I mean. Same place you got your freebie starving artist framed print complete with dirt detailing. ;)

Thanks again,
Candy

The color couldn't be better! Well chosen. And welcome to JUNKMARKET Style you FunkyJunkSisters, you!

I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Candy

What a fun piece! Definitely a conversation starter. Well done!
Candy

Ok, wise girl. The rear shots have got to go! lol. At least the one of mine. Thanks to you, your sisters and camping buddies for making our experience all the better!

Candy

Wow! So many great ideas. My favs are the the condiment holder and office doodad organizer. Very cool!
Candy

Love it, Georgia!
Candy

Pretty. Pretty. Love the low maintenance! ;)
Candy

Wow! These are impressive! The saw horse brackets are ingenious. Well done and welcome to posting on JUNKMARKET Style. I hope to see more from you!
Candy

LOVE the KODAK sign! We had quite a few good KODAK moments this week, don't you think?
Candy

Jim - I'm adding this to my list of your "12 Best" projects you've posted. Truly one of the best in my book!
Candy

What a cutie patootie! Excellent use of an old cabinet door.
Candy

Oh, so cool! I can picture this being used anywhere! Nicely done.
Candy (secretly jealous of 10+ hours alone time)

Such a cool use! I don't think I've ever seen anyone use glass lids as knobs. Thanks for such a great unique idea!
Candy

Fantastic photos, Sue! I didn't realize that military clock was yours. Awesome! I believe everyone will be quite fond of the old gas pump front you found. It allowed for great fun photo opps!

ps - Lani, I'll fess up now. My parents actually DO own an Airstream in good condition. It sits along the side of their house and they use it for storage! LOTS of storage. lol. Oh, the life of a junker.

Okay, you are simply AWESOME! Glad to see you enjoying yourself and love the fact you were getting the word out about JUNKMARKET Style! Wish I was there...
Candy

Very nice! I love how your creations rival high-end companies' merchandise. You give them a run for their money!
Candy

Love everything! Can't wait to see how you put them to good use!
Candy

How cute! It's so easy to find inexpensive flatware pieces at garage sales and flea markets too. What a great project!
Candy

Oh, that is beautiful! What a great pairing.
Candy

Excellent job! Looks fantastic!
Candy

This has to be one of the cutest things you've done. Seriously. I want to get out there and find one of these tabletop bin thing-a-muh-jiggers.

Love it!
Candy

Oh, this is ridiculously beautiful! I love the feet and wouldn't have known how to make an already gorgeous tissue holder into something even more gorgeous. But you did!

Thank you for the fantastic how-to as well!
Candy

Now that is creativity at its finest! Pure fun!
Candy

Wonderful save on the wood and corbels! The shelf looks beautiful!

I'm quite envious of your "big boy" cloches too. Nice!
Candy

Oh, you got a gem there! What a nice find. I'm loving everyone's suggestions for it too! Make sure you keep us posted.

Candy

Call it your esteeohpee table (S-T-O-P) and see how long it takes your friends to figure it out. Heehee...flashback to childhood.

Love it! Very, very cool junk you got there.
Candy

And you have brought so much to the JMS table, yourself. Nice work. So very pretty!
Candy

This looks and sounds like such a fun idea! I'm glad to see you have loads of like-minded girlfriends! Great projects by everyone too!
Candy

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style asalle! I love the color and clean lines of this piece! Great price too. I also want to stress the safety issue with the candles...coming from someone that had a similar display years ago. The candles ended up scorching the wood on the underside (even the short ones) and that was when I realized I better move them out.

Love your style and please show us more!
Candy
ps. your lamp is awesome...have that lampshade myself. :)

Oh, this is cool...such a warm subtle glow. (You also provided a great idea for the pinch bulb holder. I've seen little houses at thrift stores for dirt cheap using these. Cheaper than buying a NEW light).

You've probably seen from my posts that I don't go overboard on tool usage either, but never say never! Hubs bought me my very own a couple years ago and I see power tools in my future. (Eeek!) Can't wait to hear what you get!
Love it!
Candy

I love these! Now I'm thinking hard about what coffee houses I could ask for bags from. Your finish on the screen frame is fab too!
Candy

I can totally see a witch in this piece. Very creative!
Candy

Very nice! Are you keeping any for yourself for inside? If so, what plans do you have for them?

Candy

I'd say Dad has some good junk! Love what you made.
Candy

What a neat combo of pieces/parts you used! Very cool!
Candy

Love everything about this Georgia! Wonderful pairing!
Candy

Ok, Sue. Now I'm really beginning to wonder who's getting the last laugh on this whole "challenge" idea for you. ;) Your wreath looks beautiful and I love everything about it! I guessed correctly what the item was originally, but only after your and Jim's clues. What a cool piece of junk to start off with!
Candy

Very nice! Sounds like your show did really well!
Candy
ps love your ruler frames.

Wow! The frame provides great dimension and makes it look much more interesting!

Welcome to JMS! I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
Candy

Oh, I've seen projects using hood ornaments, but have never been lucky enough to come across any myself. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Candy

Beautiful addition to your home, lutrell. I am loving those stones!
Candy

How nice is that! It looks fantastic hanging on the wall, but the functionality of it is just brilliant!
Love it!
Candy

What a nice save...perfect for your granddaughter!
Candy

Love your title! That is one great suitcase, I tell you. Great save and even greater table!
Candy

This is just darling, Janis. You have the sweetest style!

Candy

What a perfect solution for your cabin! Love it!
Candy

If I could save time in a...circuit breaker

The first thing I'd like to do

Is to save every day

Till eternity passes away

Just to spend them junking with you


Sniff.

Oh, that's just too cute! I could see my kids using it quite often. Nice work!
Candy

Wow! The price was right on this one, huh? It turned out fantastic using all your paint "leftovers". Very whimsical! Great first post and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!
Candy

Hi smiller0529 and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Your window looks wonderful! Beautiful surroundings as well.

Keep up the great posts!
Candy

Oh, this is just adorable! I too love chalkboards but I also like the added magnetic factor on this project. The spice cans are framed out so nicely too! Very nice work!
Candy

You DID hit the "junkpot"!! How on earth did you find junk that coordinates so nicely together? I'm never that lucky!

Now this next part of the story is kind of cosmic, let me tell you, Alice. ;) I was looking through Sue's book, Decorating JUNKMARKET Style, last night, and saw a project in it using a wire basket and a set of legs from an old galvanized tub. (Page 186 to be exact.) I thought then how awesome the project was and knew immediately I wanted to find one of those wire crates to recreate it. I log into JUNKMARKET Style today to your glorious junk post and lo and behold...a wire metal crate among your junk finds! There's a connection, I tell ya. ;)

Wonderful finds! I can't wait to see how you use them.

Simply sweet! Love how it turned out.
Candy

$3 goes a loooonnngg way in your world. ;) Beautiful job!
Candy

Hi Kait and welcome to JMS! I too think that sounds like a great deal! I'm sure you'll receive ideas from osome of the members, but in the meantime, you can always look through the "tags" on the right side of the screen. There is a furniture tag and wood tag that may have something to spark your creativity.

Have fun posting! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Candy

Seating for around the pool? That will look amazing! I'm glad DownHomeDIY inspired you to post your photo!
Candy

Too funny! This little piece is cute!
Candy

Hi RubbishGirl and welcome to JMS! Great save! Looks brand spankin' new!
Candy

"they passed right by shabby and went straight to homely". Now that is funny! Wonderful collaborative effort from your family. Looks fantastic!
Candy

This is just beautiful work! Very, very nice!
Candy

Wow! Looks great, MB! Did you REALLY lug that thing in the car by yourself? I am impressed! Thank you for the inspiration! It's definitely nature diving at it's finest!
Candy

What a wonderful project to wake up to this morning! It is insanely cool and the price couldn't be any better. Lovely, lovely piece!

Nice work!
Candy

Haha! I LOVE this post, Kathy! You are too funny! Great assortment of junk you have there, too.

Now, you asked for opinions and I won't button up about mine. Sue likes her industrial pieces. How about shipping off that "wholey" metal piece with the coordinating praying boy and throw in the tapes for good measure? Do you think she'll skate right through this ingenious challenge of yours, Kathy? I'm hoping so. If not, she may clobber you with one of those croquet mallets you're sending her way!

Can't wait to see what junk surprise she gets from you! Great post!
Candy

Well, I'll drink to that! No cabin camper should be without one! Your pieces and colors are so well chosen as always, Jim. Love your style!
Candy

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your kind words very much! Re: where to find rusty gutter guards? I suppose the curbside and family annd friends are your best bet. Heck, maybe you could even chase down a gutter guard installation co. work truck and ask if they still have the old ones they tore out. (new2nc69-style ;) Hehe.

I got this piece off of my home and found it "accidentally". While throwing out the final bag of trash on garbage day recently, I saw a rusty mesh piece sticking out from the trashcan my husband used while cleaning out our gutters. Can you believe he tossed this? Sometimes I think the man doesn't know me at all. Sniff.

Candy

Are those slate rooftops? Love the design and it's great to see you posting projects again!
Candy

Welcome bessJunk! Isn't it such a thrill to get so many great goodies? You really "cleaned-up" on this day!

Candy

I have only seen the prints of letter names like you mentioned but never the real deal! Love what you did!

Your letters are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
Candy

Love the patio. Looks like a wonderful place for a good barbecue!
Candy

What a wonderful stash of goods you have! Welcome aboard!
Candy

This is just fabulous, Chippingcharm! I absolutely love your hutch and the fact you found it's windows on your honeymoon. So sweet! My girls immediately spotted the house that sits on top. Love it all!
Candy

I guarantee you WON'T have a single creep-along-in-the-car-drive-by-that-checks-out-your-sale-from-the-street. How could you not stop for this??? Love your setup. Love your junk. Love your ice pick.

Many sales!
Candy

They look fabulous!
Candy

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Wonderful use and looks great!
Candy

I too love the border!
Candy

Wonderful finds! Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!
Candy

First of all, Janis, it's lovely to SEE you! Your thrift store finds look amazing on your table...so soft and pretty. I think I love the mini ring mold around the candle most. I never would have thought of such a thing! Beautiful!
Candy

Nope, Midge. I wish I WAS being generous. Unfortunately 14 hours is about right! We ran the map with as much of a straight shot as we could and it's just over 13 hours. We're allowing that extra hour for fuel and necessary breaks only.

I'm sure we'll get a couple shots of "drive-by" junk though!

Candy

So many neat things to look at! Leftovers from a punch press...now that's thinking!
Candy

Haha! I love how your profile says you "chase window replacement guys"! Kind of like an ambulance chasing lawyer?? Funny stuff!

Your art is beautiful. So glad you found us!
Candy

For real?? I think this is one of the most creative repurposes I've seen! Tell mom we think she's brilliant!

And welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Post often.

Candy

Hi LadyCatherine and welcome to JMS! I don't think you could have done a better job on this. Fantastic look!
Candy

What a perfect use for this. Looks fantastic!
Candy

These projects are fantastic! I, too, love the windows!

Wonderful work and glad to see you posting!
Candy

I am SO excited about this and hope we'll get to rub elbows with many JUNKMARKET Style members! Just so you know folks, Kathy and I are DRIVING almost 14 hours from Ohio to attend! Maybe that 2-3 hour drive doesn't seem so bad for you after all. ;)

Georgia's comments about the best ice cream sandwiches concerns me. I mean really. I know how many GENERIC ice cream sandwiches I can plow through in a sitting...what in the world am I going to do with these FAMOUS ones in front of my face????

Can't wait to see!
Candy

Fantastic post, Lani! What a treat to go from one photo to the next! Your European coffee grinder is like nothing I've ever seen. And I think I'm going to have to duplicate your coffee bean in the glass tube display. Love that!

Beautifully photographed and fab inspiration as always!
Candy

Wonderful job! They look lovely in your home.

Candy

Very impressive! And to think you had to PURCHASE those darn shingles. ;)

Props to you and your husband!
Candy

Wonderful saves! The bean pot lamp looks straight out of an expensive home decor store. Nicely done!
Candy

Hi SalvagingAngel and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! We've compiled a list of ways to resize your photos in a previous post with the link listed below. That way you can choose which option works best for you. Can't wait to see your posts!

Take care,

Love this. It looks like the little guys are saying "Introduciiing...the time!"

Nice job!
Candy

How fun! Can't wait to meet and all are welcome to join in!
Candy

One of the best usernames around! Welcome FredGSanford! I hope someone can confirm your suspicion that these are electric panels. Sounds good to me though and your repurpose as frames is spot on. Very cool!

Candy

ps For a moment there, I thought Iron Chef Michael Symon was a junker too from your profile pic. No Cleveland as your hometown though. Post often.

Such a fabulous idea!
Candy

Welcome to JMS! I just popped on over to your website and must say you do fab work! Loved everything!

Can't wait to see more from you.
Candy

Nice job, Bluejean!
Candy

Wow! You tackled this one head on, girl! Beautiful restoration and a fantastic save!
Candy

I can name that Barry tune in 6 notes...

These projects are cute and quirky, Sue, which is such a great combo! The graphics are delightful and I can see your mind was all abuzz with ideas.

Way to inspire yet again, Sue! Love them all!
Candy

Beautiful! Your entire space looks inviting.

Welcome to JMS!
Candy

Welcome to JMS! Your sewing pattern roses are beautiful and I can picture them on a new bride's reception tables. Affordable AND pretty is always a good thing. Great job!

Candy

What a gorgeous post, Gretchen. I am particularly fond of how your granite pavers look from your hard water. You couldn't have planned it any better.

Beautiful job!
Candy

Oh, don't you worry about what you'll get from me, Miss Sue! Just remember, I'm the nice one...the nice one...the nice one...(fade to black).

Cute, cute, cute, Grasshopper! You HAVE learned! (sorry, flashback to Master Po from Kung Fu...love your name)

Welcome to JMS! Love the sunny yellow color used and can't wait to see more from you!

Candy

Marie - I tell ya, you really have a knack for putting junk together! This piece turned out exceptionally well. Love the treasures inside, the green chippy wood side piece on it and best of all you placed it in such a cheery and colorful place of your home...your porch!

Nice work there, Miss Marie!
Candy

What a nice idea for the deck...a soft, subtle glow. And I believe I've seen that look of your husband's before from my own. Not so much anymore because hubs now sees how great the house looks for pennies on the dollar. ;)

Cool TOWMOTOR grate too!
Candy

This just really blows my mind, and I truly am not purposely trying to get a pun in there! Wonderful save...all around. I also like your brick "floral frog". I have a million an one glass cigar tubes and a simple brick looks like an awesome pairing.

Great job!
Candy

Well howdy-do Twinkytruck and welcome to JMS! Oh, and thanks for the profile pic or else I might have been asking you for more specifics on your username. Too funny!

Very cool project you have here. I really like it!
Take care,
Candy

Alice! You rock! What an absolutely thoughtful and beautiful piece you've created for our Sue. (We can call her "our" Sue, right?) She's made this place special for junkers across the land and this necklace shows your appreciation for the inspiration she brings. I see from her response she has been touched by your kindness, as am I.

Beautiful, beautiful job, my friend!
Candy

Few things sound better than tinkling glass. Very cool idea of your SIL!
Candy

Oh, my goodness! Your first photo had me doing a double take. I am so impressed with how realistic it looks! Very, very nice!
Candy

Add me to the list of never seeing the ceramic insulators. Very cool! Love the versatility of your project as well.

Candy

Oh, that is a fun find! Very cute in your garden and looks to be striking a pose. ;)
Candy

Love them all, Kathy! The pieces of green seaglass add so much to your shell piece. And that little child's hutch is absolutely precious! I think Terri got super creative with her beautiful butterfly project and I absolutely love it too! (By the way, is she on JUNKMARKET Style, yet?)

Thanks for a beautiful post!
Candy

Cha-ching! How cool is that! The back could be a message center using the leftover numbers with magnets affixed to them.

Very cool, Jenny. Very cool.
Candy

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! I'm loving how we're all helping each other! And like Sue said, if you're having a problem with posting, just ask and someone can help out.

Thanks everyone!
Candy

This turned out beautifully! Love your paint choices and finish.
Candy

I LOVE audball3. That is very, very cool!
Candy

Love your clever title and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Bet your garden art sparkles in the sun! Nice work.
Candy

Oh, this is just lovely! Your thrift store finds look phenomenal and are much more interesting than "regular" wedding props. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

Thanks for sharing ~ Your photos are fab too!
Candy

Painted suitcases??? LOVE that! You know, I paint everything else that can't run away, so why hadn't I thought to paint some old suitcases? Brilliant! It is now on my list...

Candy

Funny. Before reading your post I was thinking this could be in a magazine. Glad one inspired you to do such a beautiful job on your own!

Candy

Hi and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! I really love these and think your Vermont friends gave you a fab gift. Perfect plantings too!

Nice work!
Candy

Let's go tubing, Midge! I really love how this turned out and think you should make more for your shop. I'd think these would fly out the door!

Nice work!
Candy

Whoa! You got a spankin' good price on those shutters! I really love how they look on your porch.

Candy

Ahhhhh...candy is my middle name. No, wait...it's my first name! Hehe. Love your rendition of a three tiered dish! Welcome aboard!

Take care,
Candy

I think you got your 3 bucks worth...and then some! Love what you've done with it!

Candy

What an amazing piece of assemblage art! The colors are beautiful and I love the wooden ceiling medallion.

Nice work!
Candy

These are terrific! I definitely think a birdhouse should be your next project.

Candy

I love the whimsical look of the flowers and the colors are fab! You do fantastic work.

Candy

Very nice! I have a really nice old racket I've had for years but have been unsure what to do with it. You may have swayed me with this post. ;)

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

These could go anywhere in the house. I love that! You clipped on some really cool things too.

Thanks for sharing,
Candy

Such a smart reuse!
Candy

Oh, she needed that. She looks fab!
Candy

What a cool idea, Jim! Now I really DO care what time it is! Nice, inexpensive and easily doable projects are wonderful.

Great job!
Candy

Just gorgeous! I would LOVE to hang out in your garden.

Candy

Oh, that looks lovely! So glad we could help out with your photo resizing too or else we would have missed this.

Beautiful job!
Candy

He is cute! I definitely see he looks like a turtle or pig as is. How about adding a remnant of an old hose to the front to make him an elephant or anteater? Hehe.

Very cool and nice save.
Candy

Your daughter is a chip off the ol' block. Nicely done! My daughter has a similar color in her room and I love it. Your daughter has great taste in albums too!

Candy

Love what you made, MB...and that's including your bed! ;)

Great color palette and embellishments too.

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

She looks like one hard working angel! Beautiful job! I'm happy to see another member inspired you too. That is what I love about this site most.

Candy

Wow! The galvanized wall sets off your creations so perfectly! And I love how your desk takes center stage.

Well done! Sorry you were sick but hoping for many more great sale days to come.

Take care,
Candy

Man, everyone seems to have a welder around here. I need to get me one! Wonderful lamp design, Amy! Thankfully, I just brought home a car part from on old Jeep last week...trailing a welder now.

Nice work!
Candy

How convenient that the trunk was just waiting for you...all cemented in a bucket and everything! Love the bottle colors!

Nice going grannijo!
Candy

Thanks everyone! Shells are still too hard for me to pass up! Maybe one of these days I'll get to go back to the beach and collect them up from there.

Candy

This is just beautiful, Marie! The wire "vine" is too perfect and thank you for sharing a close up of the buttons. It really shows how much work went into this.

Fab project as always!
Candy

More wonderful finds for you oldnews! I think your sprocket with cloche married quite nicely and looks fantastic. Andrea's ideas for the fly wheel sound really good. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with it.

Candy

I have to admit, most of us have our share of Scrabble tiles, but I think you may be the winner in quantity! I love how your mind worked when you saw that little edge around the table...you knew perfect for your tiles.

Game room, office, library. Great for any room!

Nice going!
Candy

Very, very nice bluejean! I have a "frame" that has big plans for something like this. Unfortunately I've been waiting for the right bag to use for it! I love the stencils you've chosen for them!

FYI - You can place your link to your Etsy store under the "Pattern or design used:". List it as Repurposed Antiques and place link in the space provided below it. It will become clickable then. Also - a suggestion for your photos on this site would be to focus closer on the project with less wall showing. You'll get many more views that way. :)

Glad you're posting! Can't wait to see more.
Candy

Wow Georgia! Your shop looks beautiful! Love that first photo you used for your post card too. Best wishes on your new store format!
Candy

Ooooo! I love the elastic band idea! So simple and looks great!
Candy

This is stunning PISM! The mixed fabrics look amazing on this style of chair. Beautiful work!
Candy

Hi tabitha! It looks fantastic! What did you end up using on the wood for protection? I don't recall what you decided on.

Beautiful trunk!
Candy

Gailmarie - I am so happy you and your hubs got everything worked out!! So glad to hear it! Thank you for your sweet comments too.

And thank you to everyone recommending digital camera resizing!

Keep the resizing ideas coming! We want more and more people to post!

Candy

This looks fantastic!
Candy

Strange enough my dad had the exact shelf in his storage shed yesterday and I snagged it! Identical!

Love the graphics and characters!
Candy

I love this idea and think you came up with something really special! Beautiful job!
Candy

Wow, patinamarie! You started off posting with a bang! Nice work. Can't wait to see more from you!
Candy

Sue - You don't know how high my "cool junk" meter has risen for this project. Seriously. It may be because I haven't come across something like this in such great condition before or possibly because I know my dad would love it too. I'm a tad envious, can you tell? ;) VERY nice work, my friend!

Candy

Fab find oldnews! I bet the tealights look fantastic on it.

Candy

Lovely, lovely, Janis. Sending birthday wishes to you today!

Your junk friend,
Candy

Very nice, indeed!
Candy

Wow! This is a beautiful floral. I love the nautical feel to it!
Candy

Now that's some good junk! Put together like no other.

Nice work, Jim!
Candy

I'm VERY impressed with your popsicle solution! As hard as I tried, I couldn't figure out where the repair was in the finished project photo. Nice work!!
Candy

I love how unique each one of your pieces is! Beautifully creative.
Candy

Welcome to JUNKMARKET Style penasse! You should be able to just click once on each mini photo and they will appear larger next to the line of photos.

If you want even larger photos than that to see all the fantastic details, Lani has included a link to her website, Cottage Elements. Once there, just double click on each photo and it should do the trick. HTH!

Here is the link to the post on her website. Just cut and paste into your browser.

Take care,
Candy

Welcome jrjunkermom! We've all become fans of Reece and his junk creations and encourage him to keep on creating.

Can't wait to see more!
Candy

I love how your mind worked with this piece. Great looking AND usable.
Candy

What a great save! The shape of the legs looks fanastic paired up with the print on the front.

Nice work!
Candy

This is absolutely adorable! I love how it's filled to the rim with plants and china. Beautiful save!
Candy

You really did score with these trays! I love the simpleness of the project and it couldn't have come out any better.

Nice work!
Candy

Wow! Reece is a truly creative kid! Nice going!
Candy

Can we trade homes? Love your numbers Lani! You've done such a beautiful job with display...but then again, you're an expert!

By the way, if you want to get rid of those nasty hiccups...just take nice, slow breaths. ;)

Thanks for the post, Lani!
Candy

Beautifully done! And your photos look so fresh!
Candy

I love them so much, I'd marry them too! ;)

Beautifully done, my friend.
Candy

Wow! Such a beautifully creative lighting fixture! Nice going.
Candy

These frames ssssizzle! Nice work!
Candy

What an amazingly cool setup! Magazine worthy!
Candy

Ahhhh! Finally a scale I wouldn't run from!! Love your color scheme. Looks fabulous with the floor.

Beautiful job as usual!
Candy

Everything looks AMAZING, Lani! I absolutely love the dispenser on the wash stand and the wall sinks are so cool!

What a beautiful home you have.
Take care,
Candy

How cool is that! I have one of those spiral racks and have only used it during garage sales. Such a beautiful garden you put together with this!
Candy

Such a nice collection of cloches, cheese tray domes, etc. Way to give a new purpose in life!
Candy

Oh, I really like this idea and love the look of them climbing up the tree. Thanks so much for sharing!
Candy

How cool are these! Very, very nice!
Candy

What a fantastic idea! Bet your party looked grand!
Candy

Wow, Kathy! Your bill was only $13.50???!!! Great finds.
Candy

Oh, Janis, these are just lovely. What a beautiful gift idea!

Candy

Fantastic Lani! The wall hanging is awesome with the horse saddle buckles as rod holders. And the idea of collecting old microphones is fab!

Well done!
Candy

How perfect is that! Nice going with the save...even though it left your hubs scratching his head. ;)

Candy

This is just too cool! Nice work.
Candy

Wow! This is a fabulous idea! The grommets add just the right touch.

I really like Sue's idea about the vintage trays too.
Candy

Hi Laurel and welcome to posting!! You've definitely shared a wonderfully unique sconce idea. Just beautiful! I'm right there with you regarding being more of a display girl than a tool girl, however, I hope that changes once we get a better set-up in our work area. Another vote here for saying the chest counts too!

Glad to see you post and can't wait to see more.
Candy

I love this piece! The flower ornamentation on it makes for the perfect planter.
Great job!
Candy

Man! I bet you have the best theme parties, huh? You have so much fab junk, it's amazing.

Nice work!
Candy

Very clever with the stand! Love the whole music theme.

I'll be garage sale-ing this weekend and will be bringing a AA battery along...thanks for the tip!
Candy

Yep! You are our own little modern-day Doris around here. Love each of your projects, Kathy. Your layered record flowers are FANTASTIC and look great on the screen. My personal favorite is your photo carafe. Very nice!

Great job my friend!
Candy

Oh, the tea lights in the jello mold are so nice! Pretty, pretty.
Candy

This is beautiful! Welcome to JMS!
Candy

What a great story about your grandmother, Andrea. Love that photo! Great idea for using the old toaster as a photo display. I love how your mind works.

Nice work!
Candy

Welcome to JMS! This is so very cute!
Candy

Very, very cool look!
Candy

How fun is that! This is definitely a project you will both be able to enjoy!
Candy

Good stuff, POTP! Love the name of the antique store! And your vignette is so sweet too.

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

This post is actually making ME eat healthy snacks! Love the crated bottles! How is it casters make everything look better?

Thanks for the floral - it brightened my day!
Candy

This is truly special, Jenny. The lavendar looks amazing with the patina of the steel. Beautiful!
Candy

Beautiful, beautiful, Janis! I am amazed at how many unique vessels you've acquired. The plantings you've chosen for each are PERFECT. What a lovely post!
Candy

Wonderful ideas, Sue! And I was blown away by your set...so colorful and fun! Your segment flowed along rather nicely and was fun to watch.

Nice going!
Candy

Talk about creative recycling! I love it!
Candy

So cool! I love all the various sizes and colors used. Nice job!
Candy

Hi, Fleabitten, and welcome to JMS! You really found an amazing screen door and put it to work beautifully! Thanks for the helpful tips as well as the angled side shot so we can appreciate its size. I bet it is heavy like you said!

Great first post...can't wait to see more from you.

Candy

I was trying to take a peek at this with your table post. Glad you shared a closeup! It's fantastic and I bet the smell is yummy!
Candy

Wow! Instant table...instant fab idea!

Candy

Such a high-end looking piece now! Love the legs and color.

Nice work!
Candy

Now that's neat! Nice work.
Candy

This is really beautiful! You should be so very proud.
Candy

These are beautiful and useful as well! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

Candy

Simply sweet! Nice job you did there junkmama!

Hi and welcome to JMS! Wow! The height is awesome and I'm sure any one of us would love to have a greenhouse like this. What a lucky lady you are!
Candy

Hi there and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! This was a terrific use for those rack sections and the filler bed parts make it so charming. Great work! Can't wait to see other posts from you!
Candy

Oh, those metal letters were meant for ME! What a fun post to read, Miss Kathy! You really had some ups and downs with this one but it sounds like the ups outweighed the latter, wouldn't you say? This show will definitely be on my "to go to" list.

Yes, that couch is pretty darn ugly but it looks to be in amazing condition...probably been slipcovered for many years to protect the owners' eyes I bet.

Thanks for the great post! It was fun to read.
Candy

Beautiful job, Janis, and I think both projects are terrific! I absolutely LOVE the way you embellished your album covered portfolio!! It is so you and so beautiful with the added glitter and ribbon!

Way to go, my friend!
Candy

Wow! This turned out fantatastic!
Candy

Nice job, guy! Props to your son for designing an amazing recycled chair!
Candy

These are fabulous! The patina screams water and I love the simplicity of the design. Nice job!
Candy

This is just adorable!
Candy

So glad you received so much great advice, Karen. I was going to get ready to do a drive-by tomorrow morning if you hadn't, neighbor! ;)

Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Candy

That is one cool looking table. Nice work there, Midge!
Candy

I do remember your previous map post and love this follow-up. They look fab and nothing goes to waste!

Nice work, Jenny!
Candy

I too like both versions but love the fact you got what you wanted in the end. Nice job and great ideas!
Candy

What a beautiful window frame project. Great black and whites too!
Candy

Now that's mighty neighborly of them, don't you think? Have fun with it all and make sure you let us know what you come up with!
Candy

I have "canned ham" envy! A few years ago I looked into purchasing one to refurbish but decided to hold off. Now you've gone and stirred up all those feelings I had. ;)

Fun stuff! The Hendry's look like a wonderful family.
Candy

Heeyyy! You're getting all Martha Stewart-like with these regular appearances on the show. I see even more good things coming your way! I'll be watching!

What a trooper Kimberly is! Her sale looks very promising!

Take care,
Candy

Haha!! Love it!! Not only is the project FANTASTIC, but your tale made me laugh the entire way through. Wonderful creativity, great use of tools (which I'm envious of) and hysterical commentary. Great job!
Candy

Very cool! Love the ambiance it provides.
Candy

Your table looks fantastic! Nice work!
Candy

Turned out great! I love how she looks like she's wearing a little pleated skirt too...even though it's actually on the stool.

Candy

Looks fab! Every home should have one.

Candy

Oh...nice!!! Welcome to JMS JunkinLindsey! This project is perfection.

Candy

Lani! I want one!! What an amazing piece to showcase your children's artwork. I also love it with the candles. Just too cool!

Candy

Nice job, Georgia! I love how you creatively came up with a project with broken pieces!! Very, very cool!

Candy

Wow! That is something I've never seen before. Nice job!
Candy

Such a great idea, Midge! Nice thinking!
Candy

Very cool. I recently purchased some succulants and have plans of matching them up with something rusty too. Love what you did!
Candy

Love the Breakfast at Tiffany's!
Candy

Way to go, Kathy! Congrats to you! Sounds like you're going to have a fun-filled busy weekend ahead. Can't wait to hear more about the show!

Candy

Bart is working hard for the money. He always seems to keep a smile on his face no matter what the task.

Nice job, Sue! Your bathroom looks beautiful!
Candy

What a delightful planter, Sue! Love the fixture! Your instructions are superb as well.

Thumbs up on your Mother's Day plan tradition. Sounds like the perfect day!

Candy

Your space looks wonderful, Georgia! How fun! I'm so happy to hear how well things went.

Candy

Very nice job on both projects!
Candy

It turned out beautifully! What a great idea!
Candy

Hi there and welcome to JMS! I love all of your creations~

Candy

Ha! This looks like a lifesize version of Barbie's first profession. Totally cool and to have the entire set is pretty amazing! Oh, yeah...and monakent's thought about being used as theater props is pretty neat too! You definitely need to get them online for people to see.
Candy

Ahhhh! Love this Jim! The yellow on the can is awesome and gets me super excited about a yellow rusted metal thing I came across today! I'll be posting about it soon.

Your mom is one lucky lady to receive something as cool as this! I'm sure she's a special one too.
Candy

You have another fan here with these bags! Love them!

Georgia - I may be interested in some of those sacks when you can make down south. Like Janis said, they are all the rage in homes right now and I have just the right project for them.

Awesome job, CYB!
Candy

You've got all the makings of a beautiful Mother's Day treat, Georgia! I love the idea of challenging yourself too!

You know, the ice crusher as a vase could come in handy for all the ladies whose man has done them wrong. Just shred any flowers they try to give you! Teehee.

Nice job, Miss Georgia Moon!
Candy

You're doing great things with these! Nice work.
Candy

Beautiful job, vecernice! I love the rusty metal alongside the feminine fabric.

Nicely done!
Candy

Wow! Total upgrade! This would fit right in with my eclectic junk decor at home. Love what you did!

Candy

You got all of our attention with your awesome M! Nice one!
Candy

I'll be over for dinner, k?

I think the cuffs on the jars are one of the most unique and fun ideas you've come up with, Sue! It's so very sophisticated yet makes you giggle whenever you look at it because it's so fab and unusual. It definitely has the coolness factor.

And your little Hibachi-looking tealight holder is absolutely adorable! Thank you for providing the strainer as well as the small ashtray idea as a backup for the project. I'll definitely be on the lookout for some.

Candy

Oh, you're a good mom. I'm sure she loves it!
Candy

Nice work, Midge! Love what you came up with.

Candy

I hope you have a fabulous show! Your jewelry is so cool and unique!
Candy

Oh my, Janis! I'm sure the mirrors were beautiful before, but you've made them stunning!

Thank you for sharing another wonderful project with us all.

Candy

Pretty amazing piece you have there. Nice job!

Candy

Love this Christina and welcome to JMS!

Candy

Nice work, Amy! What a wonderful box you had to start with!

Candy

Hehe, monakent. You can find my "odd-white" curtains at Home Depot in the paint department as well. They are canvas drop cloths. :)

Take care,
Candy

Never would have thought an army cot could look so dreamy! Lovely job.
Candy

Love it all, Georgia! I so want a wire fence chandelier! Here's to you and many, many sales this weekend!!

Candy

How fun that you're offering a class for a junk chime! That's a really good idea. Love it!

My girls were on spring break a couple weeks ago, so I took them there as one of our activities we were doing that week. This plant science center is located in one of the Cleveland Metroparks called Lakefarm Park. The girls got to milk a cow for the first time and see all the farm animals' new babies too. They loved it.

I must admit, after seeing so many people's projects using farm paraphernalia, I was envisioning what I could do with different items I'd see in the barns. ;)
Candy

That junk is right up your alley, Kathy! And mine too! What an amazingly fun gift to open. I'm just wondering how that tiny little thing, Bridget, lugged it all to the post office!

Have fun!
Candy

Look at that! The coat of resin is perfect for this type of project. Nicely done! Thank you for participating in the Earth Day Challenge. You did a great job!

Candy

I wish you all the best with your new venture, ladies! Love all the muted tones and French theme and am sure the shop will do well! What fun!

Candy

She's adorable! Very creative with the hoe arms and halo ring.

Candy

Great use for this! The hardware is wonderful!
Candy

I don't think I've ever seen these made into pins either. Nice work!
Candy

You can't go wrong with a rusty metal box. Maggie was good to you!
Candy

Any project with "dreamsicle" in the title, has to be good!
Beautiful work.
Candy

I think I have the makings for the display in your first photo. Thanks for the inspiration to do something with it!
Candy

Thanks gailmarie. My wall color has technically been discontinued but you can tell the Home Depot paint dept. to look up "Behr - Olive 4" on their computer and they will be able to find it. We used Olive 3 in our previous home and I actually think I liked it a tad better. Still love the 4 though. Thanks for being on the lookout for any A's for me too. ;)

Marie - That is a great idea and it is nice of you to offer to everyone. Have a wonderful time at your flea this weekend!
Candy

What a pal you have! I can see the washing machine as a cooler for cold drinks on a hot summer day too! (I think you get those a couple times a year in AZ, don't you? ;) - You can always insert a removable large potted plant when not in use.

Thanks for posting and have fun with your freebies!
Candy

Love these Midge! Just as much as I love your gated community comment. ;) Could you put bird feed on the plates if you were a bird lover? Beautiful stuff and thanks for sharing.

Candy

Love the tool-laden fence! How fun is that!
Candy

What a timely post for me!! I literally JUST snagged a large broken clay pot from a neighbor's trash three doors down today. Score! Funny thing is, less than 5 minutes later Mr. Garbageman was on my street. Grabbed it by that much! I didn't realize how much the large ones weighed until I had it in hand barely making it home...huffing and puffing te entire time. :)

LOVE what you did with yours and that they were FREEBIES!

Candy

Beautiful, Janis! I have seen these while thrifting, however, I must say you have found the most beautiful ones! Those that I've seen are much less ornate. Love your added embellishments too!

Candy

Wow! I really like this. So unique which is a great thing!
Candy

Very cool Jim. I think the flower choices are just fine. They are pretty AND hardy!
Candy

Oh, I love it with the rusty spring. I am all over your laundry sink too!! Even more than the price being right, it is such a great look.

Thanks for the post!
Candy

Hi GrandBear! Looks like your joined the "Junk Lamp Club". Thanks for sharing your directions too! Nice work!
Candy

Hi there and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! I like the way you kept your stool as-is. I just recently tried to get one of these babies from Craigslist but was not the lucky taker. Would love to see more posts from you!
Candy

Your gardens look "heavenly". Thanks for sharing!
Candy

Love the fun vintage transformation! It's hard to imagine it was formerly ugly. Nice work!
Candy

Your junk has fabulous scenery oldnews! I too love your cement mixer memorial to your husband. And your son's old boot story is hilarious!

Thanks for sharing such a great post with us.
Candy

Simply sweet! Thanks for thinking to share with us at JUNKMARKET Style !
Candy

You nailed it with the transformation. So much more interesting and fitting with the tray frame. Very nice!
Candy

Your "Shabby Spice" is so Chic! Love it!

Candy

These Potheads look as proper as can be! Nice going!
Candy

Low maintenance AND pretty. Gotta lot it!

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

How cool is that! It's as if they were made to be photo frames. Nice work!
Candy

Is this an old drawer? Love all your treasures inside.
Candy

Definitely a charming piece!! I love everything about it. Way to reuse!
Candy

This is so lovely and I love the mix of all the junk treasures. Excellent job, alicemom!
Candy

Oh, you're good! Great idea with the notepad and your photo looks so fun too.

Thanks for taking part in the challenge! You really got the ball rolling now.

Candy

Nice, Lani! I've never seen prom pictures displayed in such a cool way! Love how the hinges played a part in your stand. The Texas "star" is perfect too.

Beautiful job, my friend.
Candy

Love the clean look of it all. Your photos are fab!
Candy

I've never seen these two types of frames together before and really love the look! Great thinking!
Candy

Fantastic! You can find these gold trays very inexpensively also which makes this a very doable project. Thanks for sharing!
Candy

Love this, Sue! Everything from using plants that can be replanted outdoors to stretching your dollar using sheet moss as filler. Your current favorite flower is a stunner too and looks so sweet against all the green.

Thanks much!
Candy

Beautiful, beautiful!
Candy

Oh, I want one! Nicely done oldnews!

Wow! She is fabulous! Love her head and the fingers are pretty darn amazing! You two definitely came up with something special.
Candy

Your collection of faucets are wonderful and now put to good use. Great job!
Candy

Such a beautiful piece!
Candy

Love all your finds, Kathy. The flower frog is super cool! I also love the way you always find the silver lining in things you do (I need to do that more often) and you had some fun with friends.

Candy

A foosball table?? You can't get any better than that! Love all the different fonts you used for your flower words.

Nice work!
Candy

Wow! Your painting skills are fantastic!
Candy

Wow! It IS wonderful! How fun to receive REAL junk mail. Love it!!

Candy

Suh-weet!! Your nephews have to be thrilled and I'm sure you're dreaming about all the projects you can complete with this score. Craig was good to you!

Candy

Wonderful distressing! The entire dresser setup looks so sweet.

Candy

This is HI-larious!!! I have never looked so good! Weird thing is I DID have that hairstyle back in high school, and maybe even those eyebrows.

Can't wait to see what kind of "spin" everyone puts on this challenge! Awesome job Sue! Now what songstress should you be...

Candy

What beautiful detailing! I don't think I welcomed you in your last post but wanted to do so. You definitely have a talent. Would love to see more.

Candy

You know, looking at this piece just makes me think more and more cities should recycle items like this for their parks. Looks awesome in your garden!
Candy

Beautiful work, romancenrelics. Looks flawless!
Candy

Hi there ginnypaints and welcome to the site! You did a terrific job updating your table using your painting talent!

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

That is really awesome! It's hard to believe what it actually started out as. Your husband did some amazing work with this one.
Candy

Talk about a purse that will wear well. You can't get any better than denim! Nice work!
Candy

Love the pencil sharpener with it...those kind are actually my favorite.

Wish I had speedy genes like you!
Candy

Thanks everyone! This was a lot of fun to make and probably one of my favorite projects to do.

I appreciate your kind comments so very much!
Candy

Hi there Leezie and welcome to Junkmarket Style! What a great conversation piece you have now. Your first project turned out terrific and I can't wait to see more of your posts.

Candy

Fantastic finds! I can see so many projects in the making. ("All" bucket ala Jim?) Glad you found where are the REAL "good stuff" was.

Candy

Very creative and love the color Georgia! Looks cute with your niece!

Candy

Total transformation! Nice job!
Candy

Wow! I really like it! You could go theme all the way with this one.

Nice save.
Candy

I must say I haven't been lucky enough to come across crates in such good shape. Love the colors and graphics on yours! Thanks for sharing a project that we can all do...with the added bonus of storage for all our little doodads.

Nice work!
Candy

Love all the neautral elements. Thanks for posting!
Candy

Love this! Using the belt buckle just topped it off.

Nice work, Janwinn!
Candy

Your booth is going to look so inviting and will draw customers to it in droves!

Have great fun and sell, sell, sell!!

Candy

Great post! I loved how you provided ideas using various objects for your cloches...the former hanging lighting fixture, the wine glass, etc. Love that. Beautiful, beautiful style, Lani!!
Candy

Hi and welcome to JMS! Wow! You really did some great Goodwill hunting with that plate. Ingenius! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more of your posts.

Candy

Now that is really cute! Love it.

Candy

Looks like you've officially become part of the junk lamp crew! Great work! I'm amazed out how your lamp shade turned out.

Candy

That turned out terrific! So sweet!
Candy

Whoa! That is one amazing table, Jenny! It looks awesome in photos but I can only imagine what it looks like IRL.

Nice job on snagging Jim's lamp too! Looks great in your office.

Keep creating!
Candy

Loved your segment Sue! I was so nervous for you and you were just cool as a cucumber. Both ladies seemed to really be into your junk too. Wasn't it great to hear Kathie Lee say she had been going through your book for the past week in anticipation of your arrival. Love that!! Great job, girl!

Candy

Very nice! I too think an egg display will be great next year.

Candy

So sweet! I really like your display with your bunny.

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

So sweet! I'm envious of all your options for display with these little guys.

Have a wonderful Easter yourself!
Candy

Ahhhh! Nice idea! Love the wind resistant solution for an outdoor chandelier.

Thanks much!
Candy

So funny and so well done! You've made every kitty's dream bed. ;)

Candy

Love it!! I agree with you the aged brass looks beautiful as-is. Your vases are so sweet too!

Thanks for yet another great project, Janis!
Candy

You're amazing Sue!! Can't wait to see the show. You mentioned before somewhere about loving the Hell's Kitchen Flea. Any chance of going this weekend???

Have fun and blow 'em away with your junk charm!!

Candy

Midge!! This is probably my FAVORITE project of yours! How on earth did you come up with this? Oh, wait...your junkermidge so of course you came up with this! ;)

Can you tell I think this is the coolest thing ever? Great work, my junk friend! Way to keep us all inspired!

Candy

Haha! Love it! You can definitely keep some curiously strong time with that piece.

Candy

Kids and capes go hand in hand. You did a fabulous job and my girls would love these!
Candy

Cute! I really like the old bottle used. Nice work!
Candy

I've been anxiously awaiting your "top 10" list, Sue. You sure don't disappoint! Metal chairs are fantastic and the ones you've shown would be fab in a dining room. I am currently ISO old lockers for my mudroom, so I was really pleased to see they made your list. I LOVE the set shown with their rusty grated sides! If these weren't as deep as they appear...they'd be perfect for me.

Thanks for your lovely list!
Candy

First thing I thought of was gift tags. Just punch a hole and attach to a present.

Balloon weights for a party maybe???

How about making a piece of art for the kitchen by spelling out MILK with the brown ones and using the blue ones as the background? Attach all to a board or cardboard and hang on the wall.

Neat find!
Candy

Very nice and thanks for sharing! Love the rusty hardware.
Candy

Thanks for providing a rust solution. Did you then coat it with poly?

Take care,
Candy

How adorable! Such a sweet design.

Candy

My oh my, Jenny! Your Hercules mirror really makes a STRONG statement, now doesn't it? I absolutely love it!

Great job.
Candy

Love how you snazzed it up. I too purchased a glass lamp for next to nothing at a thrift store and have yet to decide what to do with it. Hmmm.

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Now that's cool! Nice work there Cynthia.
Candy

Oh yeah. Great deal on the lamps! I want to see what you fill them with! Inquiring minds...

Candy

Such a very cool look, Jim! I'm loving the painted broomstick. Nice work guy.

Candy

I can see how someone thought that, Lani. Sue and Bridie look like two pretty sisters, don't they?

Love your home, Bridie, and I'm so glad you all experienced such great new friendships!!

Thanks for the great post Sue! It's so much fun to read what all happened in good ol' Texas.

Candy

Oh no! How could our wonderfully creative StrangeCargo ever be banned?! Never...never!

I am happy to see I could help with your resizing photo issue, but I must admit it is mainly for selfish reasons. (I am now able to see all your cool junk once again!)

Take care,
Candy

Here's wishing you success in selling your wonderful creations so you can quit that PT job and do FT "penny-ing". My fave is the black bag. Love the shape!
Candy

How perfect is that! Love the photo with your bookmark on the vibrant green book too. Great eye!
Candy

I think these are in the top three of my favorite projects of yours!! Love the variety of the knobs. Not only will they look fab displayed on the wall...I also picture the one with legs sitting on a coffee table. Love these!!
Candy

Simply gorgeous, Janis! I could have sworn your tin was a beautiful plate. Thanks for the instructions (that even I can handle...well maybe ;)

Candy

Love, love this!! I too am working on a crib spring project and just love the way you used the old patterns on the wall.
Great job!
Candy

I'm always for saving a buck but it looks like you've saved quite a few! Good thinking. It will also look great for the next party you throw too!
Candy

Nice repurpose!
Candy

Aha! A wonderful use for these spindles! Thanks so much for sharing...and your painting skills are beautiful.
Candy

This turned out beautifully! Gorgeous work alicemom!
Candy

Great display. I love how your mind worked on this one!
Candy

So simply sweet! The second photo shows off the vibrant color of the flowers. Love it!
Candy

Wow! This turned out really spectacular! Nice work and your instructions are very appreciated!
Candy

Wonderful Bridie!! Sounds like you're having a blast!
Candy

Love how you're 'sale'ing through Texas, Sue!! And those are mighty purdy lamps!
Here's hoping for more BIG fun for you and the gang!

Candy

So sweet! Love that display!
Candy

Nice job! I really like the look of it.
Candy

Pretty, pretty! Great repurpose!
Candy

Using this as a jewelry holder is quite fitting since it's so pretty. Really like it!
Candy

Your little beads add a nice extra dimension.

Very pretty!
Candy

Your repurpose works perfectly and is so useful! Thanks for sharing.
Candy

"He" is fantastic and proportioned perfectly! Nice job!

Candy

How pretty is that!! Are you sure you have three boys at home?? Hehe. I have looked high and low for one of these stands and have never had the joy of finding one. (I've been trying to stay clear of ebay but may have to cave).

Beautiful organization!
Candy

This looks great and what a fancy way to glitter-ize something. It just makes a lot of sense.

Thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to more of your posts!
Candy

So sorry. It is my understanding the site had to put size restrictions in place recently in order to keep it from crashing. Sue can clarify that for me if she wishes.

If you use Microsoft Office on your computer I can give you instructions to change the size using "Paint".

Click Start
Programs
Accessories
Paint
File
Open (Find where your photo is saved)
Image
Stretch/Skew
Change veritical AND horizontal size to 30%
Save As (Something different so you don't alter the size of your original photo).

Hope this helps and sorry for the frustrations. I want to welcome the new members and thank our regulars for helping out too!!

Take care,
Candy

Consider sending that first photo to a pet photo contest. Too cute!!!

Candy

Very, very good idea. I like this as much as your Crystal Light luminary idea!!

Candy

How useful is that! Very nice!
Candy

Welcome peasmom! You really brought along some great junk for us all to see. I LOVE the old washtub and envision that rusty garden tool part as the best coat rack!

I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Candy

Wow! This is a fantastic transformation and looks like it was meant to be. Your distressed finish is fab!

Candy

Love the rolling laundry hamper portion of it the best and need something usable like that at my house.

Nice work!!
Candy

This lamp is truly beautiful, Sue. I am completely amazed it all started from a decanter and can honestly say I wouldn't have thought to make it into lighting! Love the shade too!

I'm missing my Country Home and was saddened to see it go...especially when my subscription was replaced with one I'm just not that into. I'm so happy Carol and Sandy saw exactly what you were all about and knew to go with it!

Candy

Wow! Your details are amazing!

I hope to see more of your creations.
Candy

Now that's as sweet as can be! Who would have thought that an old cog could be so pretty?? Us, of course!

Nice job!
Candy

Wow! Your birds have gotta love you! Nice work.
Candy

Fantastic! I absolutely love these.
Candy

Fab distressing, BarkingDogs. Now you can put it to good use.
Candy

Hey, nice work!
Candy

Looks so good!
Candy

Love your rendition!! Such a beautiful piece.
Candy

This is such a great project. The reflections make it look almost unreal...like a tv screen. Very cool.

Candy

These are fab projects. I too have never seen a plate used as a planter and really love it! Great job!
Candy

Oh yes!! Spring is here!! Love your toolbox planter.
Candy

I am truly amazed at what you came up with here MB. I also took a peek at your blog and think it's fantastic that you used all twelve of these in the "tour" in your hometown.

I appreciate the shout-out but give complete KUDOS to you for starting this from scratch!! Way to go!
Candy

This is so beautiful, Janis. I absolutely love how you used the old knobs as lids and hope you leave this display out always...even when you aren't embellishing projects with your collections.

Beautiful as always!
Candy

So sweet! I think I recognize that clock from your purchases at the flea market/garage sale from last month, right? Your display gets me in the mood for spring, Kathy...even though it's in the 30's and 40's here.

Take care,
Candy

Whoaaaa, Nellie! You just stopped me dead in my tracks with this one. Truly a work of junk art. And you topped it off with such an amazing photo of it too!

Great work, Jenny!
Candy

Terrific job! I just love the finished look.

Candy

So very sweet!
Candy

Wow! You've used the best colors! I too, think they look just like popsicles.
Candy

Looks great Georgia. I just picked a group of old tools off the curb just a few weeks ago. Love the Spring-y idea!
Candy

Ahhhh! Your junking basement looks great. So well organized with a load and a half of wonderful goodies! I am so torn with what to do with ours it is currently unfinished. Right now, most of my junk is in boxes or on a few shelves with no organization whatsoever. Thank you for the inspiration to rethink what needs to happen down there, ASAP!!!

Candy

I too drink Crystal Light and have always used the containers for my kids' small toys (ie dominos, legos,etc) and always try to think of other uses. Thanks for your great idea. Your lanterns would look really cool sitting along my deck rail...I'm sure most people would think I bought them at IKEA.

Great re-use!
Candy

Very cool and welcome to the site!
Candy

Perfectly layered! Love that!
Candy

Are you truly up for altering your altar? You mentioned it is currently adorning your office. I can see attaching or inserting shelves in the middle portion for all your books. It could has be spectacular with a bench attached or in front of it and used as seating.

What a lovely rescue you have!
Candy

Nice rescue! -Candy

Isn't it great when it all comes together? Nice job!
Candy

Talk about an inexpensive, yet beautiful way to spiff up a frame. Love it!
Candy

Hi there Junquerette and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style! Great job on adding the cuteness factor to your daughter's dog food container.

Nice work!
Candy

I think your word "count" is the cutest thing on this piece and I love the reference to the old cliche.

Well done junkinpunkin!
Candy

I just love this Geo, and your lampshade up-do is amazing! Great combo with the galvanized base. So inspiring!
Candy

Oh my goodness, that is the funniest thing ever! Beautiful artistic details too.

Thank you for sharing. I bet there will be some who would love to give it a try.
Candy

I would never have guessed your benches were born from a bed. Great colors and once again, fab finishes!

Candy

I see so much awesome looking storage in this photo! You really did a fantastic job on the chosen color and finish AND you purchased it from such a wonderful charity. Makes this project a double thumbs up! Nice work!

Candy

Wow! You have so many wonderful pieces in this display. The wire basket is just calling my name! ;) Beautifully done, alicemom.

Candy

This is so very sweet! I always look forward to your "floral of the month" and love the color palletes you choose. This one is no exception.

Thank you for another great project!
Candy

Hi there, OliveRue. Welcome to the site. Your first post is quite impressive and I look forward to seeing more from you. Nice job!
Candy

Very nice!! It defitely has that industrial feel. Nice work!
Candy

Beautiful, beautiful! Love the green on your walls as well.

I would love to see more of your posts.
Candy

Cleo looks like a fiesty little thing with that tongue of hers sticking out. What an awesome mate for RePete...even though they can't be together!

Congrats on such a great auction sell!! We all knew RePete was pretty darn amazing and I'm glad there were people there who appreciated all your hard work.

Well done!
Candy

I absolutely love your vision with your birdhouses, Midge! Even the song title could not be any more perfect.

Nice job, girl!
Candy

Wow! Some lucky princess pooch will have a great place to nap the day away. So sweet!
Candy

What a great piece! The shelf makes it even more useful on top.

Candy

Great choice of elements used! Thank you for posting this.
Candy

Miss B. looks like she's doing the hula. Cute project!
Candy

Beautiful displays Andrea! Are you sure your second photo wasn't on a cover of a magazine?? It's gorgeous! Unfortunately I don't have many cloches personally, other than the little ones who's former life was the top of a cheese platter. Still like them though.

Great post!
Candy

Okay, this is just too stinkin' cute! Love your ribbon color combination and that wagon is the best find ever.

Beautifully done!
Candy

This is the coolest post, Jim! I think your table is unbelievably cool and I still have a hard time imagining how you can replicate it so closely with the real thing. Pretty darn amazing! Love your drink bucket and appetizer tray too and think that they would be so fun to put to use at a party.

Nice work!
Candy

Love this, and the square head nails are great!
Candy

Congrats on another new venture, Kathy! Your booth looks fab!
Candy

How perfect are those tin plates for your project? Great find you got there.
Candy

Well I won't roll my eyes. Hehe. I think you are pretty darn creative. Thanks for sharing another great project.
Candy

I absolutely LOVE the elephant felted handbag! Your details are amazing on it. Beautiful work as always, oldnews.
Candy

So cute Cynthia! Love the cute display too.
Candy

Okay, I find these tips even useful for the newbie flea market SELLER, like myself. Now I know what all you savvy shoppers are up to!! Haha.

Jim - Realize now, every time I have a customer walk up to me with bedhead - pulling a $5 bill out of his pocket...you will always come to mind. Too funny!

Thanks for the tips!
Candy

Oh, nice! A JUNK "Room of One's Own". Virginia Woolf would be so very impressed! What a great spot to get those creative juices of yours flowing.

Thanks for sharing your newly organized junk room with us.
Candy

What a perfect little cabinet. You are one lucky lady to have a husband who'll pick something up for you without having to beg. ;)
Candy

Love the color and finish. Nice job!
Candy

Looks great! I still have about 12 or 15 of these faucet handles I need to do something with. Nice job!

Candy

Beautiful design!

Very beautiful oldnews. I have never seen a sewing machine made into a lamp so it is extremely unique to me. And I agree, the setting looks so warm and inviting.

Great job!
Candy

Love this Midge! I know you mentioned before that your photos weren't that "fancy" but this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the neutral color palette and would hang your piece on my wall anyday.

Nice work!
Candy

Mushrooms are all the rage on Etsy! Love your "recycledpages" name.

Thanks for posting!
Candy

You do truly amazing work. I really love the mix of so many styles and elements and I bet you are thrilled getting back into something you enjoy so much.

Just beautiful.
Candy

Thank you for your wonderful comments. From someone that doesn't sew a stitch, I had to think of ideas to put this stuff to good use...or to ANY use for that matter.

And yes, come on over anytime!

Candy

Love your displays! That photo of your boys attached to the grain bin door is superb. It just works together so well.

Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
Candy

Okay, I see a business for you just in the couple of projects you've posted. Kind of like the whole duct tape craft idea except everything with contact paper. You are truly an artist!! Nice job!
Candy

This is one of the coolest bars I've seen! Way to go! I am amazed at what you went through to get the end result. Unbelievable.
Candy

Oh, this is my kind of booth! The colors are so inviting. Best of luck on your new venture.

Candy

You are so very welcome, Kathy. I love how it turned out. It looks funky cool with your fantastic button flowers.

Yes, we ARE going to have to meet. The Hubs will be in China for a few weeks coming up soon so maybe I can schedule Mom-time sometime thereabouts.

Looks great and thanks for sharing!
Candy

I have never seen this type of creation to date and think they are fabulous! So very cute.
Candy

Such a nice little shadowbox. I love the "cream theme".

Candy

Very nice! Your project has drummed up an idea for a couple of vintage thermoses at my house. Your "Little Brown Jug" is mighty spectacular.

Thanks for sharing,
Candy

You can't go wrong with skeleton keys and license plates! Nice job putting it all together.

Candy

So precisely put together! Great job!
Candy

Definitely Georgia O'Keefe-like! Brilliant!
Candy

What a brilliant and beautiful way to transform a not-so-perfect table. Nice job and welcome to you!
Candy

Oh, drats! I wish I would have seen your post before I cut mine up. I absolutely LOVE this idea. Simply displayed as-is, but in a more fabulous way! Hmmmm. Maybe I can get away with this idea using my leftovers. After I make those Whiteflower roses, of course. ;)

Beautiful work, Amy!
Candy

Oh goodness, gracious!! I LOVE the frilly-edged large round piece to the right of the light cages!! Add a mirror insert. Also any of the round pieces in the same photo that resemble movie reels. I'd have to poly them and hang them on my wall. Egads!! I'd be in heaven.

I always thought a stacked minnow bucket floor lamp would be cool. I have the same metal bicycle basket but would love your gym baskets.

You are a junk queen!
Candy

Oh, good thinking! I love those metal frames and never saw them before. Nice job!
Candy

Very lovely! We have a Goodwill outlet about 45 minutes from us. I used to go quite regularly but not since I moved further away. Lucky you!
Candy

Wow! I really love the scrolly cast iron piece as well as the floral painted plate. Beautiful job on bringing them all together!

Candy

Hi there and welcome to the world of posting on JMS! I really love your project. When you asked me about the clips from my lampshade I assumed you were also doing a lampshade. You surprised me! :)

Great job and keep them coming. I love the red handle!
Candy

Very cool, JennyK! You made all the pieces-parts come together beautifully.

Candy

You have so many great pieces! I'd love to see a closeup of your utensil valance because it sounds like a terrific idea! What did you do with the Dick and Jane wall border?

Nice work.

How perfect! It looks absolutely lovely and best of all...thrifty! Cloches can be very expensive.

Candy

Wow! I am so very impressed! I think the glass case is fabulous and can see this type of "material" used for a more decorative garbage container in your car. (I've seen regular fabric ones on Etsy).

Great idea and thanks for posting!
Candy

This song just keeps poppin' up in my head ~~

There was a Junker had a store, and GEO was her name-o!

She is G-E-O, She is G-E-O, She is G-E-O

And GEO was her name-o!


Having given you such a fantastic gift, JennyK must think an awful lot of you!
Candy

Great job pennyheaven! You're on a roll with your felted sweater ideas!!

Candy

This is such a sweet project, Janis. I love the illustrations and colors of your book and can see giving it to someone with a little gift inside. My mom just gave me a large baggie full of vintage belt buckles and many of them are mother-of-pearl. Since seeing your lovely post, I'm really excited to put them to use!

Thanks much!
Candy

Wow! You're not kidding about it becoming a beautiful swan. Nice job!
Candy

Your medical cabinet is the best! Love it all!
Candy

Beautiful work! What a wonderful frame to start with.
Candy

Nice job scruffin' it up. Looks great!
Candy

Sorry for all the mishaps but it really turned out terrific! It doesn't even resemble a breadbox anymore.

Nice work!
Candy

I recently saw an episode of Color Splash that used birch tree paper on the walls and thought it looked so cool. Looking at your divider display I feel the same way. Great solution, Georgia!
Candy

Hi there Erica29, and welcome to posting projects! I'm so glad you did. You and Hubs did a terrific job on this sporty table. Thanks for sharing and please show us more.

Candy

Great job! That is such a lovely table to begin with and you've made it extra special.

Thanks for sharing another great project with all of us.
Candy

Hi there Karlae, and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style. I love what you did with your door casing scraps. Very nice! I'm particularly fond of black painted furnishings and decor so this is right up my alley. Great job!

Can't wait to see more of your posts.
Candy

I love the wheels! Just add a handle to the side and you could become a wine seller and cart it around in Paris! Nice work once again.

Candy

This is so great Sue. It looks like the perfect shade topped it off!
Candy

I'm loving the little high chair. Very cute and nicely painted!
Candy

Beautifully done! Your butter tray lid is a really nice touch.
Candy

Great job embellishing your thrifty find. Looks so sweet now!
Candy

Smart idea to make your desks into a larger tabletop. Nice work!
Candy

Love this idea! The pulley is mighty spectacular by itself but the soft aqua bucket and starfish make it even better. Your photos are so soothing to look at too!

Nicely done.
Candy

Hi and welcome to the site! Thank you for sharing so many of your ideas! I too, would love a closeup of that chandelier.
Take care,
Candy

Simply sweet! Like the others, I love the drawer pull chalk holder!
Candy

Nice find! It looks terrific with your family photos.

Candy

Pretty, pretty! And what a great repurpose.

Thanks for sharing!
Candy

Hi and welcome to the site! Your spice rack turned out really great.

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Very cool, Jim! Looking at the hose reel while still intact, I can totally see a drum shade in the making. I think I need to attempt to craft me a lamp someday. Ha! Like I ever could.

Nice work!
Candy

I thought that shoe form looked mighty small. How cute! Love the cool yet practical way it's being used. Very nice!
Candy

So adorable! I'd love to give these as gifts. Thanks for sharing!
Candy

I really like your color palette with this display. It all works together so nicely!
Candy

Unbeknownst to Jenny, she has just put us all in our place. And that's a good thing. Wowser!! While reading your post I made sure to zoom in on all the details of her shop. Of course we NERDS love all her junk (glad to be one too, thank you), but I must say the organization of it all has me blown away! Nice workshop, Jenny! You've really inspired me!

Now I'd like to see Georgia's creation and wonder if you and Jenny will finish yours off too. Looks like it was a blast! Great post.
Candy

What perfect shelving units. I think why I love them best is because they have sides which contain junk a little better. Your little rusty junk piece that holds your twine is pretty spectacular. No more ball of twine unraveling all over the place!

Thanks for the great tips! Looks great!
Candy

Love this so much Midge!
Candy

Of course you'd find something totally unique and cool, Lani! I've never seen old film holders before and think they are fabulous. I love how you manipulated the color on the photos to look more vintage.

Fantastic idea and thanks so much for the post!
Candy

Funny you should mention my name after you talked of the aquarium. I've been on the lookout for one with silver edges for the last couple months...ever since seeing Lani's ice skate display and some others I've seen online. You don't see those kind of cool displays too much here in Ohio.

I LOVE your table display with your muslin slipcovers! And very impressed with your SIL!

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you will be having loads of fun the weekend of Sue's arrival!

Take care,
Candy

Your elephant commode is fantastic and I love the use of your ice tongs! Your hubby was definitely a born junker!

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Love the drawer pull wings. I bet it was a fun class!

Nice work!
Candy

So cute! Love the plates!
Candy

You are VERY talented and the airplanes are quite spectacular. We'd love to see some "before and afters" of your used furniture for inspiration.

Thanks for sharing and welcome to JUNKMARKET Style!
Candy

You were ahead of your time regarding repurposing, weren't you? This is really fantastic.

Thanks for sharing.
Candy

Oh, you did good! It has just the right amount of rust with the added shine of the aluminum tray. I bet it looks fab in person.

Great job, Karen!
Candy

Very nice!
Candy

Beautiful work! It is such a nice piece to display all your china pieces inside but is perfect for holding your plants as well.

Great job!
Candy

The beautiful shape to the drawer really "sets the stage" for your dance memorabilia.

Nice job!
Candy

You are one busy, crafty lady! I'm amazed at how many projects you've shown us.

Love the silhouettes too!
Candy

Welcome newbiejunker! Your display definitely has much more impact by using the window to "chunk up" your artwork.

Excellent job!
Candy

I love each and every one of these cases...especially the black ones! They're all so different yet coordinate very beautifully. Thanks for sharing your photo!
Candy

Reading the posts that mention school auctions really has me intrigued. I don't recall seeing any in my area but will definitely have to pay attention more. ;)

Your redo is fab and I can see why someone snatched it up! Love it!!
Candy

The size is perfect! All my suitcases are larger and I can't quite do this. I love how it all works together and you've definitely achieved a “warm, homey, comfy and masculine” look and feel.

Candy

Jenny, this turned out fabulous! The train tracks really took it O-V-E-R the top! I love them! Thank you for clarifying what the musician clip is. I came across one last week at a thrift store and unfortunately passed it by. Now I know!

Great job, my junk friend!
Candy

Hi there Deezie and welcome to the site! Your "as-is" ring is so versatile and a really nice find. Love the sea glass! I could also see it as a wind chime.

Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see more of your posts!
Candy

What a fantastic find! It looks like you've put them to good use too.
Candy

Love what you did! I would love this for my cookbooks as Creepin mentioned.

Thanks for giving us another great idea!
Candy

What a practical use for the old door knobs!
Thanks for sharing. It looks terrific!!
Candy

And it keeps them off the counter too! Great work!
Candy

You can find an abundance of ties at thrift stores and garage sales for very little money. Thanks for sharing a use for them! Very fun!
Candy

Thank you all! It was great fun perusing the aisles of the warehouse and disappointing I couldn't buy more that day.

texasjunkermom - The stand is an old Napanee Hoosier-style cabinet that comes complete with metal flour drawer. I bought it at a garage sale last summer for $10. It definitely needs some TLC and is on my to-do list. You can see it in one of my original posts to the site. http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/967/care-to-share-advice

Thanks again for the wonderful coments...now off to see what else I can cook up.
Candy

Oh, I love this!! The fact that it is red makes it even better and the entire "feel" from the photos is fantastic! I can only imagine how much you enjoy your office now.

Great work!
Candy
