This is the MOST awesome sign I have ever seen! Love, love, love it!

Cool junk--isn't it excited when you spy some great junk at a sale and you are the first one there?
Christy

OMG--that is one big chandelier. Great job!
Christy

Wow--this is a great first post. So glad you're on the site and sharing your great ideas. I've been collecting junk letters and it is driving me crazy!!!!! Everything I look at I see a letter--oh well, the life of a junker! Welcome to the site.
Christy

Lani--what a wonderful display. I love numbers and letters and have alot of decorations in my house with both. Your numbers are displayed so creatively, as usual.
Christy

WOW!!!!
Christy

Great paint job--it is very realistic looking.
Christy

Finished--that's such a wonderful word when you work with junk! One I don't hear often enough around my house! Great job.
Christy

Love these--nice to have a project that uses left over odd pieces of metal or glass.
Christy

These look great--love the silver and crystal together.
Christy

So cool!
Christy

Well, think everything has been said about how great these are but just want to add my compliments. Love them.
Christy

Wow--these are fantastic!
Christy

Cute idea--love the red, white and blue.
Christy

What a clever reuse. It's great that it's made out of something that you can usually find from any flea market, gs, or thrift stores. It's so frustrating to see a great project and then not to be able to find the parts to make it.
Christy

Whoa--that is an awesome pile of junk. Aren't you glad you have a reputation as a person who likes junk?
Christy

As usual, your project is just too cool for words! Love your sketches--I always just start and wing it--no wonder your projects look so much better than mine!
Christy

OMG--you've built a really great wall for next to nothing and recycled to boot. This is truly a "green" wall.
Christy

Wow--these are way cool! How clever to make the mobile theme reflect the song title.
Christy

What a cool idea--I love clock displays.
Christy

Now that bouquet of tools would fit in my "garden" perfectly. Sounds like a fun trip,
Christy

Awesome--I'm with Jenny--I love the hammers. My father passed away a few years ago and I have the hammer that he used to build furniture. Do you mind if I "steal" your idea for displaying the hammer? Thanks for sharing.
Christy

OHhhhhh, I like these. I've got a box of faucet knobs just waiting for this project
Christy

Welcome to the site. When you bring toys like this you are bound to be popular. Can't wait to see what you make of them. Be sure to post pics.
Christy

Love it--your painting skills are amazing!
Christy

Cute, cute, cute. He has so much character. Welcome to the site--can't wait to see your next project.
Christy

WOW--what more can I say. Love it!
Christy

What a great use of old doors--something pretty and useful.
Christy

What a wonderful booth. I would head straight for those letters--I'm kinda stuck on letters right now for some reason. Good luck--hope you sell out and "have" to go junkin to find more stuff.
Christy

Wow--I agree, this mirror just goes there. Great find and recondition.
Christy

Glad to know how to get that great rust--bet you did get some funny comments. Shelf really turned out nice.
Christy

Great planters--I use a lot of planters and I like to use unusual things too. My soil has too much clay so growing in the ground doesn't work too well. Great job.
Christy

LOL--these are too cute! Do you think I could get enough green boas to cover my entire yard--no weeds and no mowing!
Christy

I love your style--less is more sometimes and these are simple but oh so beautiful. Great job!
Christy

Now this is an original idea and i LOVE it. Even better, it's one that almost everyone has the ingredients for.
Christy

Now this is a booth that I would be drawn to instantly. Love the doors as backdrop and all of your goodies too. Good luck on your new adventure. Don''t get so busy you don't have time to find new junk!
Christy

OMG--this looks like a tremendous undertaking but you did a great job.
Christy

Lovely displays. You obviously have a talent for displays., Love that old gate piece. Is it just sitting on the mantle with the other goodies around it?
Christy

OOOOHHHHH--I love this. Now you're going to hate giving up your button flowers. They are so cute. Great gift!
Christy

You did a wonderful job of putting all of these pieces together.
Christy

Nice job--love lamps made out of unusual objects. The shade is awesome.Christy

Wow--I'm impressed. This is great, I've always wanted to know how to turn legs--oh wait, that's heads I was thinking about it!
Christy

How creative--Sure wish you could spend a week with me here in Oklahoma. Bet we could go to town with my junk pile. You've inspired me to take a closer look.
Christy

Wow--this is awesome!!!! It's just beautiful--looks like inlaid wood. Can't wait to see more of your projects.
Christy

Great use of license plates and it's special with wood from your childhood barn. I've tried cutting letters out before and it's harder than it looks! How did you cut yours?
Christy

Wow-These are from old grocery bags? I thought they were fabrick when I looked at the picture. Cool!
Christy

Great wreath--love how you worked the twine around the bottle caps.
Christy

This has got to be the greatest office ever. And I bet there's not another like it!
Christy

Wow, Geo--are those letters metal? They sure are cool!
Christy

Great dresser--Love the shape and color.
Christy

OK, every time I see you name on a post I know I'm going to love it. And this is no exception. Just great! And the cord is definitely the finishing touch.
Christy

I love this--the pulley is great and the colors are perfect. Great idea.
Christy

This is GREAT!!!!! I love, love, love it. Can't wait to see what else you do for your office.
Christy

I love this--it is just my style.
Christy

Cynthia--glad you're back to posting. You've really started back in full swing too--love the initial.
Christy

Cynthia--this is just too cute! You know, my name starts with a C too (lol).
Christy

Lucky, lucky you. You were definitely in the right place at the right time. I wouldn't do anything to it. It's perfect just like it is. Just let it B
Christy

I can see why these scales are your favorites. Love both of them and the candle holder too.
Christy

Very pretty and colorful. I'm always looking for ways to organize and store my earrings.
Christy

Oh man--got to check this place out. What town is it in? I'm in southern Oklahoma.
Christy

You really have a way with grates! Love all of your ideas. I bought a neat round grate at the Junk Bonanza this last year and I'm still trying to decide what to do with it. You certainly gave me some good ideas.
Christy

You've got some really neat stuff. I checked out your site and saw that you are an Okie girl too. I live in Ardmore so I'm not too far from you.
Christy

What a great accessory. I love pins to wear on my jackets and these are awesome.
Christy

Wow--lots of good ideas for one great piece. I think my favorite is the powder room use.
Christy

Hey junkismystyle--I need some help if you don't mind. I've located me a dish and I want to make one of these gazebos. Would you mind sharing your wisdom? Please email me at csudderth@arbuckleonline.com Thank you

What a happy shovel! Bet it gets a lot of comments.
Christy

LOVE it. I must have a rusty personality because it always calls to me. Aren't salvage yards the best places ever?
Christy

I've just got to say it--this is a "grate" idea. Bet you couldn't find grates for that price now.
Christy

What a neat wine central. I agree--what dishes?
Christy

cute, cute, cute
Christy

Love any kind of organizational tool. This is a great one!
Christy

OMG--you are so talented. This turned out beautiful!
Christy

How inspirational! I always just love your projects. They not only look good, they also send a message and make you think.
Christy

I love these--the colors are so vivid! I can see why you're obsessed.
Christy

What a wonderful room. Can't believe you were on a ride and found a way to get this bed home. But where there's a will there's a way and I guess you found it. Good job.
Christy

These are wonderful--love that this represents both of you blended into one heart.
Christy

Good job--isn't it exciting to find great junk?
Christy

Fun, fun fun! How long do you have to heat them?
Christy

This is so pretty! I love old locks--they have such character. What do you mean by no voc dye?
Christy

What a great mirror. I bet it's even prettier at night with light shining on it.
Christy

This is so cool--I love it.
Christy

This is wonderful--love how all the pieces have a story behind them. Your painting just makes your projects. Wish you lived closer and I would be bugging you to teach me how you get that great distressed look. Mine never turns out that good.
Christy

I like this--something I might have time to do too!
Christy

These are so cool. We just had 2 days out for ice. We only had a little but that's enough to shut us down here in Southern Oklahoma. I did a project too--made me wish I was permanently retired!
Christy

Very clever--and useful too!
Christy

Very pretty--great job!
Christy

Love it, love it, love it. I would love to make one of these. Do you have wooden support posts or metal. Also, what is that on top of the dish?
Christy

Snowmanhill, I get my heads from King Metal Supply. You can check them out at www.kingmetal.com
I buy the hollow metal hemispheres. I just decide what size I need and of course you have to buy 2 and then weld them together. If you decide to buy you might want to get several at a time because the shipping is rather expensive for just ordering 1 set. I've also used other "found" items. I used one of those old kerosene flares that they used to put in the road to show road construction. I just turned it upside down and then put a hat on her. I've also used some stainless steel floats that my husband got in the oilfield. Just use your imagination and I'm sure you can come up with something. Good luck and post some pics after you get a project finished.

Christy

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. I figured most of us could relate to this gal. My daughter wants to know what I'm going to do with her and I told her I might just have to keep her. She makes me smile and I had fun making her.

Snowmanhill--take your Dad up on his offer to teach you to weld. You'll get to spend quality time with your Dad and learn a new skill to boot.

Christy

Wow--great job!

Christy

This makes a great display!
Christy

Your sketching ability is awesome. I can't draw a lick so I just start putting pieces together and hope for the best. Maybe why your pieces always look so professional! Anyway, I love it--especially the rusty bracket.
Christy

What a clever jar to hold some good memories!
Christy

This is a very pretty piece of jewelry. Would never thought of using china! I'm curious as to how you finish the edges also.
Christy

Man, I can't wait to see the finished floor. You have got to be a wizard at cutting and fitting angles--this looks very difficult to me.
Christy

OMG--I have got to learn to paint. Your painting is incredible--I'm so jealous!
Christy

Wow, awesome redo of outdated furniture. What is the gel stain that you use. I did a stain on some of my trimwork in my house and I just used the liquid glaze/stain and I thought it was a little hard to work with and control. This gel stuff sounds like it might work better.

Christy

Cool, cool, cool. Love this project. Now let's see more!
Christy

Great way to display quotes.
Christy

Great use of a wide variety of materials. Now you are going to see angel parts in everything you look at!
Christy

GReat job.

Christy

Wow-this is fantastic. How did you form the leather to the frame? Is it glued?
Christy

Welcome to the JM--what a great first post. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Christy

Cool, cool, cool.

What a wonderful, wonderful gift. These wisdom gals are probably my favorite thing of everything I've seen on this site. Love, love, love them. I picked up a rice masher at a sale the other day and I'm going to have to try my hand at one.

Christy

Great job--you've made such a great piece of furniture from almost nothing.

Christy

Wow--wonderful paint job. This makes a very pretty table.

Christy

Love these pieces! The skates in the frame on the door is great too. Can't wait to see what's next.
Christy

Can't believe someone would throw this away. It's a treasure and I'm glad you rescued it.
Christy

AMAZING!!!!! You and your hubby must be very talented. Looks great!\

Christy

I LOVE everything you do! Where do you live--I want to come go the salvage yard with you! I've been banned from ours (liability) and I've been in a deep depression ever since. You have such a great talent for putting it all together too! Keep posting--I always get excited when I see a post from you.

Christy

How clever--these are really cute!
Christy

Beautiful room--love, love, love it!
Christy

Beautiful room--don't know what your master br looks like but I'd be moving to this room!

Christy

OHHHH, this is so cute. Wouldn't this be great for a party. I'm hosting our bunco group in February--I'll have to try this.
Christy

Wow--this turned out great--love the old chicken coop-- and so much more fun than shelves and baskets.
Christy

I love the one you made for your sister--I'm a school librarian too!
Christy

OK--I have to confess. When I saw the picture of this table on your post my first thought was "Now what could you make out of that table that someone might possibly want!" Should have known better--there is always a new life for every piece of junk! Great job!
Christy

I bought one of these at Canton, TX along with a footstool. I was there early and they were still asleep in their tent and I woke them up to buy it. Got both pieces for $15 so I was thrilled.

Christy

Cute, cute, cute! Love them.

Christy

Wow--these remind me of the kitchen sets from Pottery Barn. Great remake!
Christy

I really love old molding and these make really great shelves.

Christy

What a great table. You should be proud--certainly doesn't look like a first from scratch furniture project.

Christy

Good organizational tools. Love the shutters. I've been trying to find something really cool and different to organize my mail and this just might be the thing. Thanks for sharing.

Christy

I may be weird but I just can't imagine why someone would throw away a gate! But I'm glad they do because I can always find a use for an old gate. Your gate is really nice.

Christy

Yes, I agree Georgia--this is the most beautiful gal in the world! And a beautiful friendship to boot--you are BOTH lucky!

Christy

OK, I'm really feeling inferior. You MADE a leather coat???? Love the door knob rack too.

Christy

Your thumb must be as green as mine is (lol)! Better still, you won't have to weed and water--I love it.
Christy

This is a really neat bench and you can really change it up using different chairs and uphostery. Thanks for sharing the directions.

Christy

Really nice repurpose. I love the red too.
Christy

This is a really good idea for an old broken down chair. Very creative.
Christy

Wow--great job. I love how you junked up the style of your bathroom.
Christy

Good job--aren't thermostats ugly!
Christy

Free love, free junk--it's all good.
Christy

This is a really great bench. How did you join the pieces together?
Christy

Really neat cards. I love all these homemade cards but don't seem to have the patience and vision to make them. Glad someone does!
Christy

I really like the look of this table--and best of all, I have 2 of these wire hampers. I use one in the kitchen to put my onions, etc. in but the other one is just waiting for a use. Thanks for sharing your idea.
Christy

I don't think this is scary at all--it is really a good repurpose.
Christy

Your friend is super creative. I bet she really gets a lot of comments on her wonderful light.
Christy

This is a really neat project. It turned out great--bet they will love it. Thanks for the detailed instructions and pics so us copycats can make one of our own.
Christy

These are great legs--think you made a wise choice.
Christy

What a great creation--love the quote. Can't wait to see more.
Christy

Love these guys-They are sooooo cute. I'm waiting for more!
Christy

You know, this is one floral arrangement I might could make! Great idea--can't wait to try it.
Christy

There's no end to what you can learn on this site. I had no idea goats would climb like that! Looks like you've got some good suggestions--post pics of your finished projects.
Christy

Hey Georgia--glad to see you're still wheeling in great junk. Been away for awhile but back now. Can't have too many wheel projects for me.
Christy

I really love this idea and it's so appropriate since your husband's a builder. Bet this really gets a lot of comments.
Christy

What a lovely project. The jewel on top really adds the finishing touch. Love it!
Christy

What a cool cool place! I'll have to keep this place in mind if I get to visit my relatives in Illinois. They are just a couple of hours from St. Louis. Thanks for sharing.
Christy

What a creative and thoughtful use of an old bus. The elderly are so often forgotten and they have so much to offer. My junkin hat's off to you and this great project.
Christy

Great use for the springs--very creative. I love when someone has a great idea using something that I already have on hand! Butter churn is amazing too!
Christy

You certainly didn't downsize in style. I love the tree. It's even better now that it's time to take the tree down.
Christy

You are so creative--I love your projects. Your painting talent really adds to the project. Great job.
Christy

Good thing you've got a stash of windows because you seem to have plenty of great ideas. I especially like the initial window.
Christy

Aren't toolboxes the greatest--and this is perfect for the holidays.
Christy

My last name starts with "S" too and I have quite a few of them and so do my daughters-in-law. It's a big family joke about which of us has the biggest "S"
Christy

I can see a lot of projects that could come from these. Definite too good to pass up.
Christy

This is just too cool for words!
Christy

OK I confess. I feel a pang of envy everytime I see one of your finds. I miss getting to prowl through the scrap metal yard here in town. I'm hoping they'll change their policy and let us start scrounging again. It is amazing what people throw away.
Christy

What a great first project. And now you're hooked. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Christy

Love the tin wings. These are really awesome. I love angels--always makes me think of my Mother.
Christy

What a great gift. I love gifts that have some meaning behind them. Christy

What a neat bed! Great job.
Christy

What great old tools and displays. Love having the old house numbers. Either you're not strange and we're all normal OR we're all strange!
Christy

Hmmm--is that why my brushes get crispy????? What a cute way to use those crispy brushes.
Christy

Welcome to the site--it's a great place to share and learn. I've been off for a while (busy with work and Christmas) and I sure have missed it.
Christy

Love the bucket shade! Really creative and cool!

Love these! The cross is great--bet it's heavy!
Christy

You have the best scrap metal place ever. I really miss getting to go to ours. I'm hoping they will change their minds and let us start looking again. Great letters!
Christy

Very cute!
Christy

This is a great presentation of food. We have a Bunco candy exchange so I'll have to make one of these to put mine on. Thanks for the idea.
Christy

Now this is creative. I love it and it has so much color!
Christy

Well of course! What else would you put on a flag post but graters????? And I'm sure everyone has a tractor muffler in their yard. LOL
Christy

How cute. Can't wait to see what you come up with over your "vacation."
Christy

Where are you located????? I might have to just come out there and steal, I mean buy, one from you. Then you could take me to your 2 metal yards. I'm still drooling over that! Anyway, congratulations--this is a once in a liftime find.
Christy

What a great cover up of an appliance that often looks out of place in a kitchen.
Christy

This really puts me in the Christmas spirit. I love all your cool soothing colors together and the vintage ornaments.
Christy

A really great end table. Pretty nice son in law too.
\Christy

How sweet--woulda never thought they could be so cute.
Christy

How fun--you found the perfect use for the lights.
Christy

I can see why this is your favorite project. And $1????? That's amazing.
Christy

Wow--post a pic of your tree with these on them. Bet it's really pretty.
Christy

OH, MAN!!!! What an awesome shed. It's so pretty I'd have a hard time going in and getting any work done.
Christy

A car jack--that's truly creative. Wonderful!
Christy

I love ALL your stuff. I always admire anyone who can do creative painting techniques. Good job.
Christy

Great job. I've always wanted to make one of these but just haven't got up the courage.
Christy

How creative! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Christy

Boy, do I love this. I'm a libarian so this is right up my alley.
Christy

Ilove these. Hardware is the best stuff ever--you can make almost anything. These are so clever.
Christy

What a great idea. I love projects that are quick and easy.
Christy

Sounds like a really fun day. Good friends and junk--what could be better.
Christy

What a great idea. Hope you have fun wheeling and dealing. Be sure to post your finds here. I love what you did with your wheel and can't wait to see what your friends do with theirs.
Christy

Boy--the ideas just keep on coming! It's amazing how many different looks one basic project can have.
Christy

OMG--these are so clever! I can see my house numbers on one of those made out of tools! It's obvious from the looks of my yard that I don't use them.
Christy

What a clever and cute idea!
Christy

These are really pretty. How did you get the lettering and design on the drawer? Please tell me you didn't freehand them!
Christy

This really puts me in the mood for some turkey and dressing. Really pretty,.
Christy

Love the thermos angel. You'd better slow down girl--you're making the rest of us look bad.
Christy

OMG--these are so creative and fun! Don't have any pugs but do have 8 grandchildren.
Christy

Cute, cute cute. You must have an unending supply of dominoes.
Christy

I think I've got one of these around here somewhere--I'll have to try to dig it up. BTW--where do you store all of this?
Christy

I LOVE it. How in the world do you think of these ideas. What's really neat is this project shouldn't take that long to make and no one else will have it.

Damon
I'm so jealous--2 yards that you get to go to everyday. I get the same thrill going to the salvage yard that I do going to a great garage sale. I ALWAYS find something. It is amazing what people get rid of. One thing about it--you get VERY dirty. One day on the way home from scrounging I stopped by the store to pick up some sandwich stuff and the lady looked at me (I was pretty scruffy looking)and asked if I was paying with food stamps! It's a big family joke now. Has the lower price of metal affected how much you find now? I can't believe the difference in the price now and 6 months ago.
Christy

Girl, I'm impressed. Not only are you an expert constructor but also a good deconstructor! Love the drawers and can't wait to see what you do with second set.
Christy

Love the architectural elements added to your house. I hate the cookie cutter look and don't want my decorations to look like everyone else. Your elements add so much more character.
Christy

Love the #8 but the proverb makes it even more special.
Christy

Perfect sign--I would be sure to visit you.
Christy

What a beautiful setting. Perfect place for an antique business--please post pics so we can all see.
Christy

Ohhhh-put me on the reservation list!
Christy

This is so cute--love it.
Christy

What a creative piece and just perfect for your use. This just had your name all over it. It's a joke among my family--one of us sisters always want to buy what isn't for sale so I'm sure everyone is going to want to buy it. Maybe you can find another piece that you can fix up and sell! Hope you make lots of $$$$$$$$ to put in that drawer.
Christy

Hi- Welcome to the site. It is great to have a find and share ideas. We recycle more than junk--we recycle each other's ideas too!! Those are really great doors and you've got some good input already of ways to use them. Another site that has some good ideas for windows is http://www.robomargo.com Margo has tabs for different projects and she has a whole section for windows.
Christy

This made a wonderful window.
Christy

Wow, great paint job. I have no painting talent at all :(
Christy

Love the gear. When I went to the metal salvage yard I found gears all the time so that is a good source for them. What kind of paint did you use on the screen? It's really cute.
Christy

Wonderful display. I used to teach typing (back when they used real typewriters instead of computer keyboards) so I really like all these ideas for old typewriters. Good thing you didn't dismantle it!
Christy

This is a really great scale. I would put in on my dining table and change the displays according to the seasons. I've got a sorta scale (don't really know what it is) and I put pumpkins, flowers, Christmas balls and greenery, croquet or pool balls or anything else. I am sure you are going to come up with a totally awesome use for this. It will become one of your treasured favorites.
Christy

Great find. Did you say you found these at the scrap yard--is that a metal scrap yard? Those are my favorite places of all time and I have spent many a Saturday morning scrounging through the junk. Unfortunately, our local yard has banned us because of liability reasons. I even offered to work part time just to get to see the junk. I can still go there to sell metal and if I'm crafty I can pick up a few things while selling. Just have to make sure my weight isn't more when I leave than when I come! BTW--I love these gears. What do you have in mind for them?
Christy

I feel like maybe I should send you a sympathy card because you are TOTALLY addicted now. But what better to be addicted to than junking? Decisions, decision--can't wait to see what you decide to do with the beds.
Christy

OMG--that is a great haul for any day of the week. Of course, metal junk is my addiction (at least one of my addictions). I'll be waiting anxiously to see what you make out of all this.
Christy

Love the wheel Georgia. I've got a wheel that I'll have to hunt up but will have to find something not living to put in mine--I can't grow anthing! Great job.
Christy

What a wonderful, welcoming porch. I love all your stuff and how you have arranged it. Look forward to seeing more.
Christy

I just love holidy home tours. I'm in Oklahoma so won't be able to come to yours but look forward to seeings pics. Be sure to post plenty of pics so we can all see. Good luck on the tour!
Christy

Ohhh, can't wait to see this after you get it recovered. Bet it looks great.
Christy

Great shelf--Old doors have so much character. Thanks for sharing.
Christy

OMG--what a find! I didn't buy one when I went to the Junk Bonanza and have regretted it ever since. You're not anywhere near Oklahoma are you! LOL Hope things are going better for you now.
Christy

I love, love, love this! Isn't Craig's list great.
Christy

Wow--looks like you are going to be having some great stuff. Wish I was in the area. Good luck on your sale.
Christy

I love the foot stool made out of vintage ties. Do you know if those are available to buy? The grater light is cool too.
Christy

This is really cute and the price is right! Great job.
Christy

Thanks for the instructions. I've never tried mosaic before but I'd like to. Now I won't have any excuses not to do it.
Christy

OH, man just think of all the good stuff you could display here. Great display idea.
Christy

Great stuff. Can't believe you're going to leave the blanket chest black considering your motto "if it's not moving paint it white!" Don't blame you though, I like it black too.
Christy

What a clever way to get across an important message.
Christy

What a wonderful tribute. I lost my mother and a best friend to breast cancer too so cancer research is very important to me.
Christy

This is too fun. Great job!
Christy

This project just seems to speak to you. Great job
Christy

What a cool idea--I would have never thought of using the blades this way.
Christy

Less IS more. Happy Halloween to you to!
Christy

What a cool piece. I just love it!
Christy

Good Luck Tim! I don't personally know you but you look like a fun guy! Cool car!
Christy

How about swinging by good old Oklahoma too!
Christy

How clever and creative. Thanks for sharing.
Christy

Clever idea. I've got to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Christy

WOW, WOW, WOW! Now I could spend some time working at this desk. I LOVE it. I WANT it.
Christy

What an amazing room. You all did a fantastic job! I love everything but especially the old U.S. map on the pillowcase.
Christy

Great use of old window. I can see that it took a lot of elbow grease but it looks worth it from where I'm sitting (on couch in front of laptop)!
Christy

You know, there is nothing better than a good piece of "junk" that brings back memories. It looks good and brings back good memories.
Christy

OMG--I can't believe you got these for $1 each. Bet your boyfriend's mother will love hers. Looking forward to seeing finished projects.
Christy

Wow--this turned out great. Can't wait to see the shade.
Christy

Love it. Is it hard to grow gourds? What type of soil do you need?
Christy

I love the green one too. Did you mix the paint in the grout or just paint it after it was grouted??
Christy

I love the glass top--amazing that you found one that fit so well.
Christy

Girl, you just hit junk heaven! Those are really awesome finds. I'm getting short of breath just thinking about it!
Christy

What a neat way to use an old water fountain. Welcome to the site--can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Christy

This is so awesome. Your friend is really talented!
Christy

These are soooo cute. Each one has so much personality. Wouldn't these be wonderful for each member of the family on the mantel? Love them!
Christy

These are so cool and would make great tree ornaments. I love them.
Christy

A project that requires little time and talent---I'll have to jump on this one. These look really great. I can see having one for each of the grandkids in an arrangment. Where do find these plant stakes?
Christy

Great finds--can't wait to see what you make out of them. Wish you all were in my part of the country--you can pick up all those horse apples you want for free!
Christy

I LOVE this. Anything rusty and from a farm is right up my alley. Look forward to seeing more of your projects.
Christy

What a blast--wish I could have been there. You must have some really fun friends!
Christy

When life gives you lemons--make lemonade. I think you've made some great lemonade.
Christy

Love your fall decorations. We're just starting to have a little fall here (OK) and I love it. Your tree is gorgeous!
Christy

What a wonderful yard. I'm soooo jealous. I love the bird feeder. Good look keeping the squirrels away--they've eaten several of my birdfeeders over the years.
Christy

Can't wait to see what you do with these.
Christy

Really pretty. And I've got all the stuff--have to get busy making one of these.
Christy

Wow, all these pieces really look good together.
Christy

Girl, you have come to the right place! There are so many ideas here on this site so you might want to just browse through past posts and get ideas. The suggestions for the Junk Beautiful and Junk Style books is great also. These have some wonderful ideas and get your creative juices flowing. Also, there is a site that a friend of mine has that has good ideas and it is arranged so that it is easy to use. The site is: www.robojunker.com
You've got some wonderful junk and it's hard for me not to covet your junk but I'm really trying! Post pics of what you do with this great stuff. I can't wait to see them.
Christy

What a neat display piece. I love all your halloween decorations. You will be able to use that table or sooo many things. I'm going to have to be on the lookout for one.
Christy

What a creative way to display those senior pictures. You spend a fortune on them so you sure want everyone to see them. I like this so much better than just framing them and hanging them on the wall.
Christy

Cool use of the gate. I love anything that displays pictures. Look forward to more projects.
Christy

50 years--that is so great. You and your sisters did a wonderful job. Aren't sisters great to have. Hope your parents enjoy many more years together.
Christy

This is so awesome Geo. It is so pretty and makes such a statement of hope.
Christy

Wow Cynthia--I just love these dolls. And what a creative use for all the junk odds and ends we all have!
Christy

I think I know what it is. Is it a globe? I'm making some pumpkins out of globes right now!
Christy

You've certainly made the most of your limited space. It looks fantastic.
Christy

Wow--what great fall decorations. Love the grate set in concrete with the tile. And the gourds with the names are awesome.
Christy

I love the hanging shade too! It's really great!
Christy

These are sooo cute! Good job Sharon and Cynthia.
Christy

Wow, what a great porch. You definitely have a gift for displaying. I love it.
Christy

These are soooo clever. I LOVE them. I don't think I could ever get my letters to look as good as yours though. I'm terrible with paint.
Christy

I love the basket with clocks too. I'm always drawn to old clocks for some reason. Love the old thermos with the pumpkin on top too. \
Christy

Love the apple bucket--haven't seen one like that.
Christy

Girl, you make me feel bad. I haven't got up a single fall decoration. Did start on a pumpkin project today. Love all of your decorations.

Love, love, love it!
Christy

Think your display looks great! I struggle with displaying too (I don't sell, but at my home). I'll work and work on a display and then my sister comes in and moves a few things around and it looks great. Guess as long as she's around I won't have to worry about it. Keep up the good work!
Christy

Don't know which it is but it is great! I love it and I'm sure you'll find an awesome way to use it.
Christy

OMG--I think I had a clock just like that! Does that give you a hint as to my age! This is much better than the original.
Christy

This is great Cynthia, I love it. Where in the world are you getting all of your bowling balls????
Christy

Great porch--I love your turkey feeder! Makes me want to decorate my porch for fall.
Christy

I really love your headboard!

Christy

Who said you can have too many windows???? Certainly not a junker! Love the color.

Christy

Wow--what an amazing transformation! Love it.

Christy

I love these. I was in Buffalo with the Red Shed Girls for the Junk Bonanza and several bought some of these gear molds. I did not and I'm soooo wishing I had!

Christy

Now this is my kind of junk--I like to weld too! Bet your daughter is proud of her new table.

Christy

Wow--what great free junk. Have you seen the pumpkins decorated with junk? They are so cute. That's what your pile of "junk" reminded me of.

Christy

Love that the entire family joined in on creating this project. It just makes it that much more special.

Christy

Love your paint job--a desk like this would make working a pleasure.

Christy

Saw your great booth but didn't realize it was you. Oh well, maybe next year!
Christy

I love your path and your garden. You've done an awesome job. Bet you have plenty of blisters to show for it.

Christy

What a neat piece! Hey Georgia, don't tell me you bought some bleachers!

I love benches made out of the old metal baby beds. Great job!

Now this is a "fan"tabulous idea--love, love, love it!

Christy

These are great fines. Love the door hardware!

Christy

What a neat way to use driftwood. I love how you tore the pictures apart instead of cutting them. Very creative!

OMG--I had forgotten about those ice cream cone holders. That is awesome and will look so cute with jars and flowers. Love your other finds too. Isn't it funny--any piece of junk always looks better when someone else is already buying it.

Love those tan shoes with the stamps. Very creative!

Looks great and it is inspiring! Today is the first day that it hasn't been really really hot here so I think I'm going to put on long pants and pretend it's fall in Oklahoma!

Wow--I checked it out and that looks like a BIG rocky job! Looks great--and here I am too lazy to even put pictures on the wall.

Christy

I don't know about your garage but constantly looking into mine would give me nightmares! Good idea for a cover up.

You are so talented. I love fall decorations.

Love your uses for scales. I have several and now I've got some ideas on different ways to use them. Thanks for sharing!

Sue, my sisters and I were at your show in OKC a couple years ago and my sister was the one that was given the glove during that particular show and she (with help from audience) had to come up with as many ideas as possible to use the glove. It's amazing how many ways a glove can be used!

That would be a fun project on this site--you give the picture of an object and everyone sees what they can make with it--posting pics of course!

Christy

I love what you've done with these pieces. Seeing the street sign gives me an idea. I'm trying to find something unique to collect and put above my kitchen cabinets but I don't want a lot of clutter. Several of these signs would be great! Thanks for the inspiration!

I think they look great the way they are!

What great corbels--and what a creative way to use them.
