Junkers Unite for Christmas...Chippy Corbel Repurposed for Christmas Trees

I am so happy to be joining in on another "Junkers United" event!

Junkers Unite with a Signs and Hooks Wall...plus a party and a giveaway

Hello friends, guess what??
Another exciting Junkers United event starts today! 

Junkers United with 12 Days of Christmas on Day 2...a Christmas Tote and a Sled Coffee Table

I am so very excited to be a part of this fun junk "event" today.
Junkers United and the 12 days of Christmas groups are combining to bring you even more creative junk ideas for Christmas!

I'll start by showing you what I am bringing to the party today...

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".

"Delight"

And a sweet little face for "good measure" :)

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!

A Quick Re-purposed Shovel Idea...and a Junkers United "Save the Date"...

Hello friends :)

This little red shovel handle is another thing I brought to our booth at Antiques Downtown.

The snowman buttons are on magnets...it would be a fun place to display a photo of some "real" snow playing kiddos too.
No snow here in MN yet...but maybe soon??
I LOVE the first snow...especially in time for the holidays.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!
I am doing the decorating for a "Redeeming the Season" event at church tonight...so I am in "the mood" for the festivities to begin.  How about you??

Speaking of "festivities"...
Did you hear about the next Junkers United party?
Save the Date...December 2nd will be here before you know it.
A few more bloggers have joined in the fun!!
Be sure to get your own Christmas junk ready for the link party!!

A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to a great group of junkers Donna of Funky Junk Interiors gathered to pin to a new board she started called JUNKERS UNITED.  If you missed it, you can visit that post HERE.

Today we want to introduce you to an amazing collection of our favorite FALL junk ideas...

It's a little "Fall Junk Potluck" :)

And here is what I am bringing to the party...

I was originally just going to show you this rusty cornucopia spilling with gourds.

I have no idea what this "mystery junk" started out as...but with the addition of some "bountiful" embellishment...it became a fun addition to my fall table.

I wasn't getting the photos I wanted inside...so I brought it outside.

And plopped it on my re-purposed washtub table...

...under our new "chicken warmer turned garden arbor".

(That clever tin bunting was purchased from a booth at the Junk Bonanza is September...I can't take claim to that idea, but I love it!!)

And that is how my "Rusty Cornucopia Vignette" came to be :)

Junkers Unite with a Junky Memo Station, a Pin Board and a Linky Party!

I am so very excited about all the things I get to share with you today!!

A while back Donna of Funky Junk Interiors gathered a group of some of my favorite "junkers" to pin to a new board she started called "Junkers United".  Today we wanted to introduce you to that amazing collection of our favorite junk ideas...and to do that we each came up with a new project to share with you to "kick" it off in Junk Style :)

So here's what I came up with...

A primitive kraut cutter turned junky memo station.

Did you recognize this?  I believe that box in the middle would hold the cabbage in place and the person would slide it side to side to slice it for kraut.  To me it looked like the perfect little shelf for a funky "Memo Station".

First, we screwed on this perfectly crusty hinge to hold the shelf in place.

Nice little spot for a few "necessities".

The background/blade is magnetic...the perfect spot to hold messages, photos...whatever.

Next we added some chippy little hardware "accessories".  Some functional...

...and some just for fun.

(That little magnet is a round piece of wood painted with chalkboard paint.  I used a chalk pen and little stamps to add the word...which could easily be changed based on "function".  In this case it holds a picture of my dad and most of his family...one baby brother yet to come.  My dad is the cutie on the far left.)

If you knew where this was going to "live" you could probably screw it right to your wall.  But since I like to move things around A LOT...we added this hinge to the back for hanging.

Works great!

So there it is living its "new life" at my house.  I just love the rustic wood with the aged metal.  It makes me HAPPY :)

Wait until you see all the other junk goodies in store for you on the Junkers United PINTEREST BOARD.
