Hello! Welcome to my post, a post about the wonderful possibilities of junk... Nothing excites me more than junk, a garage sale, a pile of crap on the side of the road - wood, rust, old paint and fabric - is that sad ha ha? The amazing art of up-cycling gets me going, I love the idea of creating something beautiful from items that were headed for landfill. I created this blog because I needed to, I have a lot of thoughts and projects to share. I hope you enjoy...

Coat Racks
I like to collect all sorts of knobs, handles, offcuts and any bits off furniture I have dismantled. I have quite the collection....
I usually convert this type of thing into some sort of coat rack, mainly to get Caspers crap (and my handbags) off the floor. Here are a couple of my current coat racks. They are ever changing and always being moved and swaped around as I find more interesting knobs and offcuts....
In the entrance.... I just love these pieces of wood! they were once a frame for a mirror with lights that fit behind a bar that my sister had removed from her house
Chair panel with some wooden pegs added...
In the bathroom....same deal here with the wooden pegs, but the base was once part of a bed I think? I found it on the side of the road...
In the lounge room....the short side of the mirror frame....
In Caspers room....this piece comes from the back of these drawers....
and in the bedroom....
