I like junk. I really like the rusty, crusty stuff. I enjoy re-purposing things. I see the good in the ugly! :)

Re: Washboard Memo Station

Thanks! Yes, I seem to be drawn to them, too. They are so hard to find here. Someone should start a junker buy/sell/trade website so we can share materials & junk! :)

Re: Yardstick & Galvanized Wash Tub Base Side Table

Love this! I have a table with pieces of yardsticks sitting on it just waiting to be finished. I just need to finish it! This gives me some inspiration.

Cheap yardsticks can be hard to find now. My mother scored 20 at a junk shop for $15! :)

Re: Trunk Turned Settee

Just today I saw a fabulous trunk at the thrift shop, but the top wasn't sturdy enough to sit on. It would be perfect for something like this!! Love this!! :)

Re: Trunk Table

So funny....I pinned this on Pinterest a while back. Nice to know where the original idea came from!! It often gets lost. I have a similar trunk, along with several old suitcases that I plan on making tables from. I'm searching for legs right now!

Congrats on the feature! :)

Re: How to create a Wall Flower

Those are great! I believe those are rotary hoes that were once attached to a piece of farm machinery. They were used to bust up dirt clods. There are several different designs. I've seen some larger ones that look like suns. The next time I visit family in OK, I'll have to search for some! :)
