Trashy Tuesday, Another Day at the Office
Welcome to Trashy Tuesday! Hope you had a fabulous weekend. I did manage to get away for a little ski trip, but a trip would not be complete if I didn’t at least try to get into a dumpster! Suffering Husband is always so accommodating to stop and humor me. I guess they have their dumpsters locked in Tahoe for the bears and people like me….
What does your workday look like? Commute? Maybe out to a workshop? Just another average day for me. A little side trip behind Home Depot!
And yes, I did touch that pile looking for stuff. Look what I found?
Let there be light! The lamp just needs a little fix, but it lights up and all.
An early morning trip yielded me this. The dumpee was kind enough to contain all the parts in a large bag too!
It’s a small jewelery holder (if you can’t tell). I really just wanted it for certain parts. The legs are cute!
Just another average week full of junque for me! Hope your week was totally trashy!
I love trashy tuesday….I wait with anticipation to see what you see as treasure..you are an inspiration or least my ” I am not the only one Honey” excuse…Your loyal follower…Sheryl…..
ha, you and I had the same thought on that jewelry chest legs which would be to use for something else.
Maybe the wood pieces could be refinished and made into shelves, put hooks on one and use to hang ball caps for a boys room; sand down and decoupage a wonderful saying or picture on section of the wood. Many possibilities for those extra wood pieces.
Great find on the lamp as well.
ah! Your hubby is much better about this than mine. There is NO way mine would ever help me pick something from a dumpster. He freaks out when I bring home anything, saying “there’s a reason that was in the trash!” Was that a suitcase of clothes back there with that mattress ? A blanket ? I think I might have had to grab those and clean them up for a donation to a church that collects for others. I hate to see anything wasted. The lamp was worth the digging! The jewelry box reminds me that I need to paint mine. I’ve seen only one shown on a blog that was repainted with the chalk paint and I loved the outcome, so mine is up for a makeover! Keep Junking!
Wow! That lamp is an amazing find! So worth the dig.
Love your finds! One persons trash is another persons treasures!
The lamp is so cute, what a score!
Don’t you just love it when people kindly include all the small parts in a bag (or in a drawer)which can easily go missing?
Oh my gosh…how adorable are you!! LOL I love it! 😉 And oh my…I need to do some dumpster diving!!!

I know one day I’m going to open up the paper and see your mug shot in there! Smiling like Justin Bieber probably because of all your free finds!!

I love seeing all the trashy Tuesday finds, thanks.
Does Home Depot sell mattresses or are those imported to their dumpster?
