Project of the week

Old Bed re-purpose by Svagegarden

She Writes
Shortly after completing my first bunk bed bech, I found someone offering two more head/foot boards for free. They were all the same size so they weren't ideal for making another bench (plus I still had the remaining pair from the first bunk bed curb shopping spree). They did however, compliment my garden shed nicely as a fence! (garden in front and brick pathway not done yet.)

Thanks for sharing Svage

quick project of the week
Old Lamps

I've recently been inspired to use old lamps as display pieces for unusual items.

For this one, instead of placing a candle in the center, I place 3 dried roses. Plants don't do well on my porch so I tend to substitute junk objects instead of plants. You can't kill junk. Think outside the box as to what you could put inside an old lantern.

Here's one I did at Christmas

What about using an old santa instead of an angel, or even an old bottle brush tree.

My goal is to make this site the most thorough clearinghouse of Trash to Treasure Ideas for everyone. A place that projects are handy and do not disappear over time, And a place for news from the junking world. Thank you for visiting, I hope you find a project to spark your imagination and start the creative juices flowing. Now go find some Junk and get started.
