The long awaited junkyard day is here!
So here are the treasures we found this week
This little table I can't wait to redo in either a creamy white or a tiffany blue color... it's solid wood and the carved details will show up so well when painted.. did we mention brooke got a spray compressor for christmas hallelujah!
this is actually what the junkyard looks like.. people can bring items and drop them off- the usable stuff usually goes up at the front.. and inside is more housewares items like old lamps china ect
We found this massive frame that we're planning on painting and antiquing a little then
making it into a message board or chalkboard
these old desks were cute for a kids playroom and they had some mad men style chairs that were also very cool. you could've taken 8 and had a new dining set
I also really liked the lines of this table- it would be cute in a play room- or once again with plywood and a coat of chalkboard paint
And my love of vintage suitcases continues- stack them to make a nightstand ect
We ended up coming home with the frame and the octagon table..all for an 8 dollar donation.
So what color would you want the little accent table?
I can't wait to see how the table comes out. I'm thinking a red would be beautiful in my house.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a framed chalkboard like I imagine yours turning out.
Great finds.
I would do the tabe in the creamy white!!

I totally wish we had something like that around here. Seeing you enjoy "junk" just as much as I do, you might find our blog interesting I just used old bed springs. I'll certainly be following you now!

Hey Brooke, I love this idea! I live in Calgary and am wondering what junkyard, and where it is, you found all these great discards? Thanks for the mega-dose of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteKatie - if you can give me your email address I will let you know! Its always great to meet new calgary bloggers. The junkyard is the Okotoks Salvage Yard, which is online for directions.
