Mirror/Organizer

LOVE this mirror/wall organizer Becki put together~!
Started with the top of a 2-tiered end table she took apart. She added the fun architectural piece to the top, attached a thick shelf piece I had, Mary found her 2 supports and the pegs from somewhere else-for under the shelf...painted it all white, distressed it, added a little stain. Then added a vintage frame that already had a great patina...Mary ordered mirror for it...and WOW!!! A charming piece for the back door off the kitchen...check yourself in the mirror as you go out, hang your hat or lunch bag on the pegs, throw your keys on the shelf~ and could it be more charming??? See it at Junk-Fest on June 18th!!!

Picnic Blanket

I just finished the Picnic Blanket to be given away as a Door Prize at Junk-Fest on Jne 18th at the Auction Barn in Gallatin Gateway, MT.

I used vintage and reproduction scraps, old buttons, a doily, the good end of a damaged dresser scarf, an embroidered corner of a damaged vintage tablecloth, (I had used the rest of it to make an apron,) and other cutter or scrap linens.

Picnic Blanket

Just finished the Picnic blanket for our Junk-Fest (June 18th) Door Prize~goes along with a shabby picnic basket and all the trimmin's!!!

I used scrap fabric-some vintage, some reproduction.
I attached a "pocket" with the end of an old dresser scarf-the other end was damaged.
I attached other cutter pieces and scraps, a small doily, buttons, some embroidery from the corner of an old tablecloth. (I had made an apron out of the rest of the tablecloth earlier!) And finally a section of belt I had saved of my daughters~ to tie it up with!

Easter Brunch Decor Ideas

The Junk-Fest girls had a fun breakfast meeting at my house on Friday. I wanted to share a couple of fun salvage ideas you could use for Easter!

The long white table centerpiece is one of a bunch of old chick feeders I had. A little paint, grass and eggs make a cute spread for Easter. I would also like to use a rusty one and fill it with mixed beans and small white candle/jars.

On the table I used a "natural" bunny atop some burlap, added a few nests, etc. for a charming "natural" look.

Finally, I found some $1 napkins at The Antique Barn, added random vintage clip-on earrings for an extra surprise! Another cute idea is to use your cloth napkins, but add a white vintage hanky or linen for some contrast-just put them together in the napkins rings..lovely!

Junk-Fest "Briefcase!"

Check out my funky JUNK-FEST "Breifcase!" Thank you Kelly H. for painting on it for me..you are the BEST!!!!! This was actually full of records when my mom bought it at an auction recently. I had been looking for a cute old something for my files to keep my Junk-Fest stuff organized...I immediately snatched this up from my mom..."That's my new briefcase!"

What do you do with spare DRAWERS?

We had some random drawers laying around. Our wonderful Becky had some clever ideas for some of them! You can see these at Junk-Fest this year ladies!

Milk Stool Before and After

Before and after of the little wooden milk stool!

Cute little cabinet makeover!

Becky (Bec4) made over this cute little cabinet. Medicine cabinet/display. Fun Spring Colors!!!

Baby Food File

Dry Goods Storage Box

Today's Project: Dry Goods Storage Box.

I have had this blue box for a long time. (It had an aluminum lid that I didn't like, it was hard to get off, and dangerous for kids. I will save it though, it will make a great roof for a birdhouse!)

I also had these white columns in The Antique Barn.
A little sanding, lettering, wax, scrap wood and screws...oh! and the adorable handles on the side!!! And we have a cute little storage box for magazines, toys, potatoes and onions, dog toys, hats and mittens...what have you!

I'm still pondering a lid...have a few ideas!

I actually remembered to do a BEFORE and AFTER today!

So long Produce Cart!

So...our wonderful Produce cart SOLD today! We will miss it...such a fun piece! But it is going to a lovely home in Helena, Montana. It's going to be a bed for her grandson when he is at Grandma's house! What a fun Grandma!!! I'll have to find me a new favorite for my blog!

I'm back! Get ready for Junk-Fest 2011 At-The-Barn Gallatin Gateway, MONTANA!
