I love junk

Who doesn't love junk? After all. . . one man's trash is another man's treasure right. . .or lady's treasure. I love finding old nasty treasures in thrift stores and at yard sales and transforming them into something cool. Here are the finds of the week.


Bread box $4.99 at Goodwill (Spotted similar version at a local store for 38.00)
It was actually really clean, just needed a little paint and . . . .
She's as good as new. I may add a stencil to the front later on.

I also found this cute little basket for $.99.


And this oh-so-lovely little purse for $1.99. . . don't laugh if you were the one who threw it out/donated it. I think it has charm.




Here's what I've added to the front entryway along with the pictures of the family



I've also painted and the golfer and I. . . o.k. mostly the golfer. . . hung curtains in the living room. Now, I just need to add a little color.
