Banana Stand Flower Display
 2015 started off with an easy and inexpensive plant stand made from a thrift shop banana stand.

I later found that a creamer and sugar bowl worked with a banana stand and African violets.

More thrift shop makeovers followed with breadboards as shelves.

Repurposed Grater Photo Easel
I displayed photos on dang near everything! Like this grater turned easel.

Re-Purposed Junk Gallery Wall
A long hallway wall became a fun re-purposed photo gallery here.

Vintage Clothes Hanger Frame Holder
Why not add a framed photo to a vintage wood hanger just for fun?

Four Minnesota Junk Garden Tours
Junk garden fans had the opportunity to tour four Minnesota junk gardens of my friends and relatives.  



What will 2016 bring?  More great thrift shop finds to transform and more beautiful flowers to grow among some awesome junk! 

I hope you will follow me in 2016 and be inspired to transform some junk into fun and useful home decor!
Thanks for reading my blog, Carlene

  9. This all is such a great work! I surely found some good ideas for my old stuff. My daughter loves reusing old household items along with me and it turned into our hobby - our time together. We are definitely trying some of your ideas next weekend.

  10. It's awesome you found a way to reuse many old things. I don't want to trash out nothing from my childhood that is why they are stored in boxes... now I can make something useful from them. Thank you for the ideas!
