My Country Junk Finds...


I promised a peek at the "Country Junk" that came home with me last weekend...so here goes :)  I do have to say I could have bought tons more!  So many cool things...and great prices too.  It was really hard not to be a big ol' "junk pig"...


LOVE this red "Perma Seal" shelf and the big tea box with numbers AND words :)


This was by far my largest purchase.  It was a coat rack from a kindergarden...too cute.  But I have many other ideas for this piece...one being...on my patio for a party draped with hanging jars for fresh flowers and candles.  Can you picture it?


Had to have this little gray trunk.  I (heart) anything gray.


Can't resist a big chippy old mirror.


I thought long and hard about these industrial metal material holders.  In the end...they came home with me.  My husband is going to help me turn this taller one into a little wine station.  Of course I'll show you pictures when it's ready for the "reveal".


And with the addition of a pillow...this one is already serving a new purpose as a cute little bench.

So what do YOU think? 
I'm very happy with my new "junk" :)
Did you find anything fun this weekend?

Sharing my bench at...
Thanks for stopping by...chat soon,

  5. OMG my Mom just gave me a box like your gray one, she said she thought it was an old WWII ammunition Box. I have not researched it though

  13. Wow! I'd be happy with your haul too. I love it all, especially that red shelf. I will be back to see what you do with that awesome coat rack.

  14. WOW! I love the kindergarten rack. How much you pay for it? I would put a custom sized mirror in the opening and definitely would not leave it on the patio to be rained on. It so old I can't see it standing up to much weather. I would be a nice focal point for the dining room. No one else would have one like it that is for sure.

    I also love the post card pillow but was probably store bought? I have some great post cards of local notables I would love to repurpose like that.
