Organized Clutter

I finally got to start planting my summer annuals, just a little bit before Memorial Day. I started on this corner of my deck with galvanized planters, annuals and other fun junk! I like to layer my junk. My double decker scrub bucket has a  Calliope Dark Red Geranium , and the bottom level has two  MiniFamous Neo Double Deep Yellow Calibrachoas.

I am so excited to share my project feature in the latest issue of Flea Market Home & Living Magazine. This is the second time I have had a feature in this fun magazine.

I purchased this camp style shovel many years ago at an estate sale. The handle had been painted a bright blue. I saw it hanging on the garage wall the other day and decided to give it a makeover.

  My son got a new mailbox and gave me the old black one.  It's not super old, but I had an idea I wanted to try. See what I did with it below.

Back in 2018, I stenciled these two bucket planters with roosters in a blog post  HERE. Today, I gave them a bright new summer makeover!

I made this rustic board mandala sign a few years back. Today I gave it a farmhouse makeover.

I found this rustic round wooden box with lid at a local consignment shop.  I paid $10. It reminds me of a cheese box, but it's a lot taller than most of the cheese boxes I find.  See the makeover of this box below, along with another installment of our Thrift Store Decor Team's monthly party!

One of my favorite junk garden finds of all time has to be this old wheelbarrow.  I paid $15 for it at a garage sale. Through the years, I have changed up the planters and plants a bit, but almost always include nicotiana .  Above is my  2021 wheelbarrow  with nicotiana, sweet alyssum, and Mexican Feather Grass , also called Ponytail Grass .

This is a photo of a vintage wooden Stanley level I found during the Littlefork, Minnesota, citywide garage sales last summer.

I found another washboard while thrifting. Another one with a glass board.
