We don't have salvage yards or flea markets where I live. I am always jealous of those of you who have that opportunity. I have to rely on garage sales and family that wants to get rid of "junk". My mom lives near and has a big barn where she stores a lot of things. She wanted us to come haul some things to the dump. I found a few treasures and I got to keep them. Check out this beautiful ladies desk!!! I am getting ready to refinish it and I am so giddy with excitement :) I thought the drawers were missing at first so I planned on finding baskets to go in the holes. But I did some more digging and . . .
I found them! I will takes pictures of the process and post them soon.
I found several things to bring home but I left this barrel because I don't know what to do with it. But I love it. I love the yellow and the rust. I love that is is small. So I am going to ask you "What would you do with it?" Side table in a fun rustic family room? Cut the top off and use it as a planter? Hmmm. . .
Oh yeah, I got my computer back!!! It still has some glitches which make me a little nervous but I am not taking it back just yet. I have too many things to do. Maybe Santa will be nice to me this year:)
great finds!! The barrel would make a great 'beverage tub'...cut off the top and fill with ice & drop in some drinks.
You could also turn it on it's side (if it's big enough)..and make a coffee table out of it. You'd have to balance/anchor it, of course.
Moms are great aren't they? Mine is a big supplier of stuff for me! LOL! Great find! The barrel...I think it would make a great side table!
Very cool!
Stacy... thanks so much for your sweet comment on my photo ladder...I think the wood circles may be out (consensus) ... but your right... maybe another project in the making?!
Have a great weekend!
