Welcome and my first Hobo Christmas find!!




Welcome to the jungle:





So I have been meaning to do this for awhile.  I am now finally sharing my  wicked creations through the years.  I have always had a creative streak and I must say thanks to the millions of blogs and Pinterest, it has lead me to create so many great things.  I also find that certain things I want to try, well there isn't much info on, so I would like this blog to be a tool to help others. I am most in my element either digging in a thrift store or squealing up beside something  abandoned on the street that I see potention in (and kidnapping it in my mom van).  My 4 year old Ginger daughter T loved driving around last June for hobo Christmas  looking for treasures!  I love re-purposing items as well.  So please enjoy the pictures and you may contact me with any questions or if you have an ugly piece of furniture and want to have some love put back into it I would love to help! Cheers!



Hobo Christmas Find: headboard & footboard bench -say what!!

So This was my first major project I had.  My father in law is the master carpenter so he was able to help me with the major part of, well anything power tool related as I was not familiar ( I am now, phew!!) Of course I realize mid project I should take before pics, mid, then final, but alas I have this blurry one with a ghost child.   So this baby had paint upon paint  on it that I sanded down,  He made new front legs from a banister and well thanks goodness for him because I probably would still have a head board and foot board
