Hee hee...thats funny! I love it and hopefully it will grow on your husband! Melody

I love this idea! How cute is that! How did you cut the metal plates? Melody

Wow, some great stuff! I wish I could snap up a few! Melody

I love when junkers recycle and repurpose! Looks great! Melody

I love, love, love it! Great use of recycling. Melody

I love the fact you have a lot of them! One idea is to nail a 2 foot long piece of 1"x4" between the L shapes and screw in from the back to create a small book holder or shelf with the L's on the ends. Paint and distress or however you like. Melody

Super cute and fun! Melody

That is so cool!

Nice idea and might I add that I'm a Phillie fan!

So sweet!...I think that is a wonderful gift for a music enthusiast! My Dad was a classically trained pianist when he passed away in 2005 (a real soft spoken person). Any time a passion for music is passed to a student it is a real gift. Melody

That booth was amazing! I love that you found those door and fixed them as the supports...very well done! Melody

I love, love the painting! What a great project. Melody

lucky, lucky, girl! Have fun with it! Melody

A terrific find! I found the same exact type of French Door and still am pondering about it. But everyone had such great ideas! A tabletop or top for a credenza for see-through? So many ideas....hmmm. Melody

I love the distressed look! Great job! Melody

Super Cool! How in the world did you get them up that far?

Anything wood is a plus! It is a charming little box and the soaps probably will drown out onions anyday! heehee Melody

I love it! So much fun and the full belly is hilarious (especially the faces on all the "eaten" gourds! Melody

Hey I love repurposing chests and trunks! I have a few myself. I love the casters and asian theme too (maybe because I'm asian hmmm). Melody

Salvage, rusty,...add in power tools, love that repurposed metal! Melody

That is so cute! I love the colors and the fact it was repurposed plus I started out junkin at my local Goodwill years ago and still get a thrill too. Love it! Melody

That is so coooool. I'm stoked about your use of metal...how awesome you can work with that material! Melody

Did I say "Heaven"? Melody :)

Awesome!....I love that old rugged look and the glass topper is the bomb!

Wow...I love all your finds! You must have a ton of cool stuff. Melody

Nice, very nice...What a great find! With your architectural background, all your pieces have such a sturdy quality. (You probably have a load of drawings from all your creations!)

It looks great!

Thats the best idea ever...I had a couple of fan grates but I didn't know what to do with them! It looks great on your
garage. Melody

I would love to dive into that wood! Hot Dog! Melody

This is the coolest! I love your funky people...they have an eclectic, robotic look. Keep making me giggle! Melody

Very cute. How did you put the hole in the little glass vase? Love it! Melody

I just love the effect with the stone and painting the weathered metal pieces...looks so rustic! Rocky also adds to the charm, he is a cutie! Melody

It came out very nice! Melody

The crackle finish is so charming and I love the colors. Melody

It looks wonderful!

Salvage Chic!...who knew. Great placement settings.

I love the vintage funky feel to it.

I think they are so cute. If you can sew, you have the potential to make so many things!....Now if I can get this darn sewing machine to turn on!

Still looks great!

It looks great already. I love the bones of your project, can't wait to see the finish.

I hear ya girl, money is tight but great creativity!

Super nice.

Just love looking at it! Can't wait to see your finished product.

I saw one too!...I did,I did! But yours looks sooooo good! Nice job, very sharp.

I'm psyched! I would have taken the box of numbers and ran out the house...super cool. Hey, I might need some of the liquid tool for my knees, they're rusty and squeak! Hahhaha!

Its so cozy and charming.

Now thats what I call inspiration! A great use for an old door (I've got lots of em'). Great area!

Wow...now that is handy! Did you use reclaimed or recycled wood? It has a nice weathered look. Love the lights!

I'm in love with your numbers. Now I know with those pieces of wood. Recycle, Recyle!

Its great to see a new posting! I love the idea of vintage baby shower, so unique. I just gave my sister-in-law a baby shower and would have loved that theme. How creative!

That is so kind of you. Thanks for a very inspiring comment!

I know, I know! I get so excited when I find junk its almost...no, it IS an obsession. I'm almost done most of these projects so just a few more weeks and KA-POW! lots of pictures! Heehee

I recently moved from the Baltimore area and use to live down the street from this market. It was made up of mostly vendors for perfumes and clothing. I never knew why they kept saying vintage furniture. I never saw any or maybe I just wasn't there when they had sales.

Great craft room and the lockers, my my my! How does one find such great items!? Luckeeeee!

I think my state is sadly lacking in great junk sales! You are too lucky.

It is amazing. The color is just right and the furniture could be from pottery barn. Great job!

That is soooo creative and colorful...very cute!

Its so retro and colorful, love it!

Very cool.

Tintinjunkfan just email me. I can whip up a bottle in no time!

Thank you! I get totally excited when I start projects. But the best part is when you really do it for a worthy cause and it just takes on new meaning. This was a smaller item that I donated but it was so much fun to do and my nephews just love to critique my work! KA POW!

OMG! You are my idol! I have 2 storage spaces filled with Wood, metal, chairs, tables etc...because it won't fit in my house. My sister thinks I collect too much junk, heehee. I see a reupholster project for that chair and the blocks could be put into a small shelf or curio...and...

Hahaha...you're funny! I have spices everywhere in my kitchen too and I think that is a very innovative and organized way of showcasing them. How cool you could find that specific rack for your containers. I love the idea!

The gate is so charming and a great entrance into your yard. Love it!

I love the creativity of reuse on this bench. It looks so cute and has a cottage charm. Love it!

You are quite the clever inventor! I love seeing what you're going to make next. Your house must look so cool and industrial! Next time I find discarded metal things I'm calling it my Healy project!

Very funky! And you can use it for lots of hot dishes. I would never think to use it like that. Clever, very clever.

Thank you so much, thats a nice compliment. I'm hoping my work sells too! I'm doing my first art and craft show this December. Its a little scary but I'm just putting my self out their slowly. Look out for more upcoming recycled projects this week. Everyone on this site has great projects and it gives you such artistic inspiration.

Thank you! I love the positive comments. I have a backup of projects to post since my job kept me busy this summer. Stay tuned I'm posting them later this week!

I love your craft room, it is so inspiring. I've been sneaking peeks at this tool chest since you put it on so I'm finally gonna tell you-I think this piece really ROCKS! Keep up the cool work.

Thank you, I feel really inspired!

Thank you, I know I will.

Hey thanks, I'm hoping it will be funky and very retro when I'm done.
