Trashy Tuesday Take a Chair They’re Free

Welcome to Trashy Tuesday!  We talk trash.  We talk Junk.  We talk general garbage around here, but only about stuff.  As in FREE STUFF.

If you are a regular at Trashy Tuesday, then you may have noticed a peculiarity.  Sometimes my Junk has a theme! This week, it was all about chairs.  FREE CHAIRS.  And you know, FREE is my love language.

I have said it before, it is worth repeating.  When you need something, think about it constantly.  Eventually it will show up in a Dumpster, on the Side Walk, or your friend will call and give it to you.  You can read all about how to manifest a bunch of junk into your life HERE, “If You Think It You Will Find It.  This isn’t just a bunch of rubbish.  It works!

Case in point.  We are having a graduation party here in less than 2 weeks.  We needed more out door seating, STAT.  Problem, patio furniture is expensive.  When you are used to getting things for free for your furniture needs, paying for something can be painful.  I have decorated my entire yard on zero budget (and much of my house too).  Check out my Patio Made of Junk HERE.

Saturday, got a text from a friend in my Junk Network.  Her friend had 4 free chairs, HURRY!  No adress was given!  In a panic, I scanned the picture.  With my highly developed powers of junk detection, I was quickly able to hone in and locate exactly where the chairs were.  I am like a divining rod when it comes to good junk.  Just put something out of the curb, throw a FREE sign on it, and I will find it.

Sunday, got a text from a friend who is moving two states away.  They have lived on the water for the past few years and were ready to leave their California lifestyle.  Would I like some free chairs?  Yes please!  My generous friend gave me four VERY nice patio chairs/rockers.  (just ordered cushions for them)

And! 2 Nice wood chairs that would definitely benefit from some of my favorite CeCe Caldwell’s Paints.

Bonus, 2 free lamps.

Since we didn’t have enough going on around here, I decided Memorial Day was a great day to trash my family room and wash all the slipcovers.  I looked like a pile of garbage by the end of the day.

If that isn’t enough junk for you, I found this in a Dumpster a couple of years ago. Finally got around to removing all the 1970’s era stickers. Smiley Face anyone?

I photo bombed my own picture.  (It’s going in my bedroom when I circle back to it) 

That’s it for this week’s Trashy Tuesday.  Hope you find a chair to sit in.  If not, come over to my junk pile, I have got a seat for you. I hope you have the trashiest, junk filled week. 

Speaking of Trash and upcycling….Congratulations to Ashley Cronin!  Winner of the Upcycled Barn Wood Coat Rack from Micano Home and Garden!  See, I have so much junk around here I have even recruited my friends to join in.
