I’m not a ‘yellow’ person…. but that bench is totally beautiful. Love how you preserved the layers of its history but still made it ‘yours’.

yes the benches one of my favourite DIY projects that I have done

Loved all of these! I just found a large ornament frame to make a pegboard! Absolutely love that idea💕. I wish our dumps in the US would allow us to pick ☹️it would make such a difference to save all the good stuff🤦‍♀️

Some dumps allow it. I think that varies by where youre at. Most , sadly ,do not. But there is a place near my home where folks take metal, and they basically just wont say anything. Dont think its supposed tobe allowed but they just turn their head, lol. My husband had a friend who worked the back of the trash truck and omg, you wouldnt believe the things he ran across. From furniture, to jewelry, to perfectly working appliances , to money. Yes, actual money in the trash. I dont think folks pay enough attention when they throw stuff away.

Our town and many others nearby have what’s called “Take it or leave it” structure/space at the recycling center. I was there one day and a lady was dropping off two perfectly good large tomato planters with the trellises and I grabbed them before someone else could.

Looks like the top of a captains chair from the 1700-1800's worth $500-$1800. Dang people have no idea what they're throwing away. Love your ideas.

I get visions too when I see old stuff. My favorite words when I see an auction sale bill are "barn finds" and "jewelry." lol I also redo in my mind when I go to thrift stores. Yes that older stuff has more character than new. I can't handle "cookie cutter newest fad" decor. You do great work. Everything on my home came from auctions or thrift store.

the cabinet was not only dusty and grimy. it was also badly thought: the door is at least 10 inches narrower than the inner space. it makes for a really complicated usage. the door though, was amazing! I love this kind of shutter type doors for cupboards!! as for the pegboard? I always felt your smashed planters are begging to go on one 🤪 and yes, you totally inspired me, as always!! I'm decoupaging my coffee table which is not only real, hard, chuncky wood, is also made with a lot of metal bits, in a medieval style! the only weathered aspect is the paint marks the kids made on it when they were todlers (and didn't keep the plastic cover on when they painted on it, 'cause "sorry mom, it's just too beautiful to cover it up!") again, thanks for sharing!

Love the lamp shade. The bench is awesome. Love how you didn't paint over the wood. The graphics and the yellow that was left on the surface just finish it off.

I love all of these projects. I painted two tiered end tables to match our window trim for outside end tables on the patio. I was almost going to seal when i had sanded them down. A very well done project of heavy pine someone hand made. Maybe one day I'll sand them back again. So far our home and main patio is pretty formal. If you work your way past the guest cottage and to my sewing studio (3 buildings gained in our retirement move) everything gets more eccectic! Im slowly getting my partner to understand trash is treasure. This past summer he just started doing two of my eccectic projects planned for yard himself and exactly who i would!
