Junkin with goats

I was almost stampeded by a herd of goats!!

This weekend I journey'd to Sand Springs, OK to stay with my cousin/business partner, but of course we had to take time out to go JUNKIN!! So we set out on the open road to see what we could come up with. About an hour into our trip we came across a junkers heaven!!

Have fun watchin....we are goin for breakfast!

Do you really get stuff out of the dumpster???

This is a question I get asked ALL the time!!!

Well.....the answer is YES.........sometimes!!

Not everything I repurpose comes from the dumpster ...BUT...this little gem actually did!!

So here is the story.......

We were on our way to my son's baseball game this summer , out in the middle of no where I might add! Then as the sun rays parted I saw them....two of the most neglected pieces of furniture sitting buy the dumpster. I screamed "PULL OVER" which my poor husband did!! (Bless his heart, he is so used to this!) We got out and loaded those puppies up!!

She needed a lot of love....

After a ton of sanding, filling holes , gluing, and screwing drawers. This is how she turned out. Her top is still a little lumpy but hey who's isn't??

She will make some a good little shabby dresser! Drawers work great by the way~!

Her brother that we picked up at the same time may not be so lucky.....but that is for another day!

Have a great day!!

New Pieces!

For those of you who live anywhere close south west Missouri you already know that we have had an unusual amount of snow lately. Of course I was prepared with groceries, water, and wood, ya know the necessities. However I forgot a couple of things! One being toilet paper which is very important but not really purtenant to the post! Second being SOMETHING TO DO for two weeks! Of course all of my custom orders were in my building which I can not even get in the driveway of! So out to the shed I went. I pulled out some pieces that I had in stock and this is what I came up with.

Finished Buffet

I am not sure why my pictures posted back wards but this is before doors!

This little brown and orange number is TOTALLY out of my comfort zone. I am usually not a fan of orange but I was walking through the paint section at Walmart and saw this warm spicey orange and had to paint something with it. Well this is what came out of that little adventure.

BTW This little number needs a new home ($65)

Thanks a Bunch!

Mattie

For those of you who are also "likes" on facebook, you already know I have a business partner. Her name is Mattie (my 9 year old daughter) I have had many questions about what her job description is. Well most of the time she is the one who says LOVE, KIND OF, or NO WAY! Every once in a while she does WORK! On this beautiful HOT morning she actually helped out!!! I even have pictures to document this occasion!

Have a wonderful day!
