Junkers United and the 12 days of Christmas groups are combining to bring you even more creative junk ideas for Christmas!
I actually have a couple of things to show you here.
I started with this tote I made out of a little rustic little crate with sections. Added a "unique" piece of an old yard stick..."Distinctively Different! Daringly New!".
The handle is a step from a silo...I had a stack of them waiting for a new "purpose".
Then, I filled it with a little "Christmas Cheer"...
Fresh greens, blue glass, springs and candy canes..."a few of my favorite things".
I just needed an "equally" festive place to enjoy it...
...and the sled coffee table was "born".
Three metal crates and a vintage sled.
It sat pretty sturdy...but I tied the sled to the crate with some twine just to be sure. A little snowflake embellishment helps the twine to "blend in".
(I didn't want to do anything permanent since those metal crates come in very handy for other things the other 11 months of the year.)
A cozy little place to enjoy a cup of coffee or cocoa.
If you are new here, WELCOME!
I love collecting and re-purposing discarded items to create a home that's "Chipping with Charm".
I've already shared a few Christmas re-purposing ideas...but I have LOTS more to come!

Oh your living room looks so inviting, I'd love to have a cuppa with you there. And that sled coffee table idea is just genius.
ReplyDeleteThe tote would be cool without the sled but it's just awesome with it!
ReplyDeleteHi Laurel,
ReplyDeleteYour tote is just too darling! Your room looks so cozy and I love that you can re-use the metal crates under the sled whenever the mood strikes :) I have a couple of sleds I want to use as tables, too. We'll see if I get around to it...
Have a wonderful week!
I'm a little late to the party--story of my life, ha! But, now I want to blog hop everywhere! Great ideas out there!
