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...

Another little side Table
Old sewing machine cases seem to find me....
and sometimes some are so far gone, but there is something special about them...
I took an panel I found roadside and had been holding onto for a special project
Cut it here...
nailed in place, did some sanding...
sealed with some Cabots and added little felt circles to the bottem
now it is a little side table

Tree Angel
I am not usually a cherub person, but I had two if these little cherubs, I had removed from some decorative jars and replaced with simpler knobs...
so I glued it all together...
and got a tree ornament...

Junk Style
Hi guys, Thank you for your interest in my junk decorating ideas!
I also have a facebook page called 'Junk Style' if anyone is keen to connect this way. I have found facebook to be a little more user friendly and easier for people to navigate than blogger, So I post on both sites. I also like to share with like minded people so would love to hear from anyone who shares the interest!
