Why do I love junk?
Mattress spring bulletin board
I think everything in my home falls under this catagory.
Why am I so spellbound working with stuff meant to cover up, throw away or burn? Why don’t I just go buy ‘nice’ things?
Because buying pretty off a shelf just doesn’t ‘rust my metal’. I flat out love to pick up hopeless wonders and make them shine in my own way. It’s all in the creative process for me. It’s a self challenge to see if I can pull it off and be happy with the end result.
I’m not much of a builder. (yet) So if I can find something sturdy that will stand the test of time, my framework is intact. You then simply work some magic on an existing piece and make it your own creation. If you told me to never create ever again, landfills would overflow. No. It’s necessary I stay on this little mission of mine.
So, last week I challenged you:
“Got a piece of junk that you turned into something magical? And by junk I truly mean, something you never thought in a million years you could save. I wanna see a real piece that was destined for the burn pile.”
Let’s talk junk! What’s your craziest junk project to date? Where do you find yours? Better yet.. where do you store it until you create with it?!? Egads I’m in trouble here.
The JUNK theme is below!
~ Next weekend’s themed link ~
A suggestion from SNS #31 was…
Old windows!
We all love them and most of us have them. What have you done with an old window lately? Bring it along next weekend!
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~
1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, cut and paste that url)
2. Please put a link in your post that leads back to the party so others can see what’s up! (scroll button on sidebar if you wish)
3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style (unless making the item is self explanatory).
5. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and within 1 month old. The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS.
If you can’t decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It’s all good!
Happy junkin’ weekend. 🙂
Thanks so much for hosting another fun party! I might have mentioned before, but we are visiting my FIL, in mid-June to clean out the barns…I can hardly wait! Then, I’ll have some JUNK!!

I commend you for saving good junk from filling up our already overflowing landfills. You take crap and turn it into something craptastic! 🙂
I LOVE IT ALL! that stairs and is that an old crip spring… HOLY COW… I adore that! I need to keep my eyes peeled for one. I love how you embelished it. SO DARLING. I adore your taste. P.S. I linked up too. THANKS SO MUCH, Jenn
I love what you have done with the junk! Thanks so much for some fantastic ideas!

Donna, you have got THE BEST junk around!!! I Love your junk and wish we had junk like that around here … maybe I just don’t know where to look. I’ll keep looking.

You are definitely not alone;I have a thing for junk too.
Hope my crackly bubbly thing counts as junk!!!!
What fabulous ideas….I only wish I had an eye for that…:(
Love your blog.
Enjoy, Dana
Crackly and bubbly most certainly works for me! LOVE it, Magic! 🙂
Liz, I so want to see what you get out of that barn! That sounds like a worthwhile scavenger hunt for sure.

You turn junk into the most amazing pieces. I’m always so impressed with what you do with things other people just overlook. Thanks for another great party.
There you go, again. Talkin’ trash to us readers! 🙂 (Keep it up!)
This is so much fun! Its like one stop shopping for me on this drizzly Saturday morning.The best part of this shopping is that I still have money left to spare. haha There’s alot of talent here…some have left me spechless. Thank you Donna for this <3
You’re the Queen! I can’t look at a piece of junk without thinking of you – in a good way, of course : )
Your old crate stairs are one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! Do they just put a smile on your face every time you walk on them?!

Donna,
This is a great theme. I love all your junk, you are definitely the queen of junk, there are so many wonderful creations you have come up with.
I’m going to have a hard time deciding what I enter in this one, EVERYTHING I make is from junk!
I’m LOVIN’ your junk, Donna…great stuff!!
Thanks for hosting these link-up parties…great fun!
Have a great weekend! 🙂 ~ Jo
I am glad buying pretty off the shelf doesn’t rust your metal. You do the most amazing things with junk that makes it not look like junk anymore. Thanks for having the link up. Hope you have a nice weekend.
MY best- Diane
Wow! Thanks so much for featuring my Butterfly Lamp & for your sweet comments! I wish I had the eye you do for “good’ junk!!! Love it!
