YEARS AND YEARS AGO I BECAME A JUNKER BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD FURNITURE OR NICK NAKS. SO I WOULD HIT THE YARD AND GARAGE AND BARN SALES, GARBAGE PICK, AND FRIENDS HAND ME DOWNS. SO YOU CAN SAY, I AM AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE. PEOPLE LOVE TO SEE MY HOME JUST TO SEE WHAT ELSE I HAVE DONE. JUST RECENTLY I MADE AN ISLAND FROM A $10 DRESSER, 4 LEAVES FROM MY DINING ROME TABLE, WAINSCOTTING AND MOLDING. ITS THE BEST!!!! WHEN I SAW JUNKMARKET ON THE MAGAZINE RACK, I WENT NUTS. THIS IS ME!

Re: Got Ideas?

HOW ABOUT PUTTING SOME GRAVEL IN THE BOTTOM TO SET YOUR HOUSE PLANTS IN FOR HUMIDITY PURPOSES? THEY LOOK GREAT! YOU COULD MAKE PLANTERS WITH THE SMALL PLANTS THEY HAVE OUT NOW. MAKE A MINIATURE GARDEN THEME.
