Trashy Tuesday Junk Crush Happy Trashy Tuesday! Welcome to my Dumpster Diving, Curbside Shopping, Garbage Digging World. Sometimes I love picking up junk so much it is crushing. Have you ever had a crush on something or someone that was so intense, it was well....crushing? Literally. Crushing. It's no secret I should have a bumper sticker on my car that says "I break for junk", and last week, this is just what I did. I got a hot tip from a friend in my Junk Network, (read more about developing your junk network HERE). Free Armoire in her neighborhood! Now let me tell you, when there is a piece of junk I want, I suddenly develop super human strength. Call it good biceps, call ...

Trashy Tuesday, Lamps, Clamps and a Surf Board Bench
Trashy Tuesday, Lamps, Clamps and a Surf Board Bench Welcome to my weekly Trashy Tuesday series (well almost weekly) where I share all my Dumpster Finds, Curbside Treasures and Free Furniture. I found things that rhyme this week and I didn't even try! My friend who is an active member of my Junk Network (which if you are a junker, you must read THIS post and develop one of your own) often texts me with free finds. This week she scored those amazing Wood Clamps. That chair was also a freebie. I have so much new JUNK that I had to spread it over several posts. Check back next week for sure to see my whole new living room of Junk. My Free Picking friend also ...

Trashy Tuesday Cleaning Out the Garage
Welcome to Trashy Tuesday Cleaning out the Garage.....Again! If you are a regular around these parts, does this seem like deja vu to you? It does to me too. I have an illness, it is called Dumpsterdivitis. It is an addiction to Dumpster Diving and I can't seem to stop and it takes over my workspace. I can stop for a while, but eventually my addiction wins over and there I am in, cruising around town in my mini van, looking through other people's dumpsters. Eventually, I can't stand the mess I have made. I spend a day (or two) sorting through the junk and then I must take the rejects to the dump, or I donate what I can. If you want a chuckle, and you want to justify your ...

How to Decorate a Patio with Junk
How To Decorating a Patio With Junk Happy Summer!! Where I live, it's a long hot one...... "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer." -Albert Camus Wherever you live, whatever your plans might be this summer, I just wanted to remind you of a few things. #1 You don't need money to enjoy being outside. The only thing in this yard I paid for were the flowers, the pots, and the joint compound. I used Free to Me paint, leftover wall paint, and a sample of CeCe Caldwell's Santa Fe Turquoise. Update since this was written. I only use Debi's Design Diary DIY Paints, 100% Natural Clay Based. I would recommend Old '57 and Cake Batter for some of ...

DIY Party Cart complete with a Drink Station!
DIY Party Cart complete with a Drink Station! With warm weather here and Memorial Day fast approaching, I wanted to make sure I had my party and hosting supplies at the ready! I picked up this little cart at a garage sale for only $3! With a few modifications and a simple bucket from Home Depot I created this fun Drink and snack cart! The top was not as big as I wanted. To solve this problem, I simply added a large piece of 3/4" MDF on top of it and secured it with Liquid Nails. For my Drink bucket, I picked up this Galvanized Bucket I picked up from Home Depot. I wanted to create a top for my bucket. The sun where I live is quite intense and I wanted my ice to not melt ...
