Welcome to Trashy Tuesday! My weekly report on my Junque Finds!
Some weeks it seems like my trash picking ways end up with a theme. I tell you, it is like magic my Dumpster Skills. If I think about something enough, it shows up in or around a Dumpster. Exhibit A. I have been meaning to get an eyeglass case and some wipes for my reading glasses (which I still don’t need all the time;). I found a reading glass case + wipes! We seem to go through a lot of cards around here, or they never get put back after a game. (kids and their poker habits, Just kidding!). Two decks of cards, practically brand new. Out of the Swiffer Dusters things. No problem, saved me a trip to Target! I also can cross staples off my list. Those were in the same box where I found the other goodies. Oh and in case I want to earn a side income doing dice tricks on the corner, there was a set of trick dice.
Now onto the super good stuff. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for cabinet doors. You can do so many things with them! Here are few examples.
I found an entire kitchen of practically new doors one very early morning. In fact, I found the entire kitchen on the dirt. I left the counter tops and sink for someone else. They weren’t quite my taste.
Finishing up the subject of Junque. I have to periodically “rereorganize” the garage. This is a real word. Last weekend I did a major cleanup and reorganization. If you would like to see the initial organization, you can see that HERE. The Van is inside, and I still have room to work. It is such a fine balance, the car, the junk and the work space. Let’s hope I can keep it this way. Here is a sneak peek. 
Check back tomorrow for the whole tour. It is FASCINATING (if you like looking at other people’s trash like I do!)
Hope you have a totally Trashy week.
If you can do those three things I believe you can travel the globe teaching others how to arrange their garage into work, car and storage space. Put us first on your stop.
how lucky are you??!! and how early do you leave your house to find such cool stuff??
Early, like 5:30 a.m.!
I’d love to find some of the neat things you do, but do you really get in a dumpster? I’d be afraid to go poking around behind stores-or wherever you go-because I’d probably get arrested. Do you mind sharing some spcifics on how/what exactly you do? Thanks.
Hi Rita, I have a Dumpster Diving Series that answers all of these questions. You can find the link on my sidebard, scroll down until you see the dumpster!
