Organized Clutter

I am so excited to have one of my favorite kitchen makeover projects of all time featured in Country Sampler Farmhouse Style Kitchen Makeover magazine.

In May of 2018, I attended a great garage sale (the first one of the season) and purchased this old high chair ($5), in addition to lots of other cool stuff  HERE. It has been waiting in my shed for an upcycle.

 This vintage chair was part of my  November finds post. I liked the lines on the chair, even though spindles are a pain in the butt to paint!

This stool was one of my recent thrift shop finds.  I paid $10.  I shared it in a blog post  HERE. The tag underneath the seat identifies it as a Donie Chair Company product from 1992.  Judging by the heart stencil, I think it's from that "cutesy country" time frame.  

I shared these live edge wood pieces purchased at July garage sales  HERE. They are commonly sold at craft stores for wood burning art.

 I purchased this A. H. Andrews antique school desk last week at  No Place Like Home Again.

  I found three wood and galvanized garage junk drawers or nail/screw bins at our local antique/consignment shop,   No Place Like Home Again.

 Last year I purchased this wooden birdhouse for $5 at a garage sale later in the season. It was well built, and unfinished.

I love to plant my flowers in old galvanized buckets. The buckets are practical!  They are practically indestructible to the elements, and they hold a lot of soil.  A lot of soil means that your pots won't dry out as quickly.

 Last summer, I was given an old chair with lots of damage.   I told my husband to saw off the back, and get rid of the rest of the chair.  This long, skinny rectangular box was found at a local thrift shop. I think I paid $1.99 for it.

I purchased this rustic wooden wall cabinet at a garage sale last spring. I paid $5 for it. Even though it looks old, it's not.   It's marked on the bottom 1995 and Jack Morten, Shawnee, PA.
