Kitchenware Repurposed As Fall Decor

I think it's a challenge to create holiday decor from garage sale and thrift shop finds, and stuff laying around your house. I purchased a box of old measuring cups at a public school garage sale a while back. 

In today's post, I will repurpose them and some wooden spoons as rustic fall decor.

Garage Sale Antique High Chair Upcycle with Milk Paint

It has been waiting in my shed for an upcycle.

This is a little vintage table that my mother found thrifting.  The top had some finish and water damage so she had a tablecloth on it most of the time.  

Junk Garden Before and After Photos

Back in May, I shared this cute little galvanized pot wreath given to me by my Aunt.

It is planted with Cape Primrose.  Details on this post can be found HERE.
