Junkin’ finds August 1

The organizer box that I made out of cereal boxes was ok
001
but this one for $3.00 is much nicer, and roomier
002
A couple of magazine holders to help keep me organized, for a dollar
005
Decorative panel moulding for $20! I can’t buy one of the larger ones for less than $20.
4 x 18x23
3 x 14x23
2 x 7x23
008
The find that I am most excited about is this vintage ironing board for $10. I don’t know if it’s old or if it’s a reproduction. And the little birdie was 99 cents.

007
The iron work and screws seem to suggest it’s older, but I know that they can also be reproduced. Who cares, I love it.

Lately as I purchase new items and change my place slowly, I’ve noticed that my decor direction is changing. I am really enjoying older/aged items paired with contemporary items. Hmmm…enjoying the journey and I look forward to where it takes me.

Linking up to the following parties:
Frugal Friday's at The Shabby Nest
Apron Thrift Girl's Thrift Share Monday
Southern Hospitality's Todays Thrifty Treasures
Debbie-Doo's Garage Salen' Partay

  7. Thank you for sharing your wonderful treasures. My house reflects a certain junque shoppe chic (riiiiigggghhhttt). Since things cost relatively so little when buying things thrift I find I can change my home decor more often than I otherwise would. Enjoy the journey! And that ironing board is way cool, repro or not..

  9. I have an old ironing board that I use all the time. It's a little more work to fold it up and down and it tends to pinch my fingers and smash my toes, but I just can't trade it in for a new one. My house is a mixture of old and new and I like trying to marry the two styles too.
