HOw To WEEKEND REPURPOSING FINDS

 Regular readers know that I have a new favorite place to look for bargains...our downstairs trash area!  Our building has trash chutes on every floor and they feed into a separate room, but for boxes and other things that you can't put in the chute, there is an area (indoors) near the loading dock for people to put things they don't want.

I've come to find all sorts of cool stuff.  
And here are a couple more.

One find I had a few weeks back was a large shipping crate.  Now I found another, smaller one.  

These are so sturdy and well made.  I just know I can turn them into something sometime.  This one is perfectly sized for putting legs on it and and making it a table.  A table we can store stuff in.  No room inside the house but it could either be used outside, on the porch or in the barn.

Then a few days later, I scored these.  

These "Sunbrella" fabric pillows and cushions.  They are in perfect shape and don't even look like they were used.  Maybe someone just decided they didn't need them?  They might go well with the CHAIRS we scored last month when I get to painting them, or we could add pops of color to the porch rockers.

SCORE!

It's been a good weekend so far, still a bit warm, we are flirting with record high temps.  Where did Fall go?  Ugh.  We're in town today, have some errands to run, I need a haircut and then we are going to a favorite restaurant for a buffet, they will be decorated for Dia de Muertos, which is always so neat to see.

Hope you are having a good weekend!
