Welcome to Trashy Tuesday, Curbside Dining and My Trashy Office

I feel so spoiled, but lately I don’t have to look too far for freebies. They seem to find me!  I am a Mormon and we often have the LDS (Mormon) missionaries in our home.  We have a sweet pair of Sister Missionaries serving in our area and I let slip that I am “Dumpster Diver”.  They were definitely intrigued, being college kids in their normal life.  I forgot about the conversation, but the next evening I received a text from them that this entire dining set was on the curb nearby for FREE!!  See?  If you want to find more free furniture, just tell as many people as you can, pretty soon you will have your own network looking out for free furniture for you.

I found this lamp just the other day, literally on top of a dumpster.  Obviously whoever threw it out failed to see the light of what the lamp could look like besides its current state.

The lamp made its way to my totally trashy office.  Here is a glimpse, I don’t have enough DIY going on, I thought I would rearrange my office a bit too.

Did you know that is a real Black Velvet portrayal of The Last Supper?  Yep, there are not many of these on the market, in fact, I may own the only one.  Classy, that’s me all the way.  My office chair is super comfy too, that came from a Dumpster as well, in case you were wondering. 

Just tonight, on our way home we passed this nightstand.  I made my husband take a U-Turn to make sure I could have it.  Do we need more furniture in our garage?  I think not, but free is free, and good free is even better!

And just in case you were wondering about my stairs……I am still, STILL working on them.  I could have repainted my kitchen, your kitchen, and your neighbor’s and friend’s kitchens in the time it has taken me to do this project.  I am quite pleased with the way it looks, so I will press on. Plus, I don’t really want to live with green tape and another half finished project for the rest of this year.  (which is how long it may take me to actually finish).   That’s my Trash for this Trashy Tuesday.  Hope you have a totally trashy week.
