Drop Leaf Challenge

FOUND!

A friend of mine came across this and dropped it off for me. Definitely an interesting item to come home to.

Chippy paint, various stains, nooks and crannies galore. This one is going to be a test of patience and perseverance.

Strange, I didn't have a dining table for years, then as soon as one was purchased THREE more magically appear. You just moved to the front of the line, Chip.

Can't Stand the Plant Stand

FOUND!

With a top that's only slightly warped and worn, it's obvious why I found this by the trash bin.

The 70s avocado topcoat withdrew enough to reveal a vibrant gold underneath, and one foot seems a little bit small in comparison to the rest. Sure, there's a crack moving up the side, but none of these characteristics make the pedestal seem any less stable.

A quick sand/oil/paint, and this old boy is on its way towards a fresh new look.

Stay tuned for the update...

#50 The American Dream

#50 The American Dream

I don't keep track in the garage, so I was surprised when this design came up as the 50th piece of work made in this series.

Proudly display your patriotic spirit with this footed box, perfect for a mantle or low wall display. Go on, put it on a pedestal... Your government demands it!

Side door access.

#49 Flicker Finch

Flicker Finch

The facade may be crooked, but the interior space is not. The larger opening is perfect for wood peckers and finches. Porch wood facade, barn wood and fencing for the box. This big boy sheds paint chips in white and grey. Part of the charm. Hinged roof.

#48 Blue Bird House

No, no no. Not a bluebird house... a blue, bird house, made from blue things. While the paint may be chippy, the security system is always on the look out for predators. Dandelions make a wonderful accent when placed in the side planters.

SOLD!

#47 300 Deluxe

The chrome might be dull, but you can still ride in style in this vastly over sized home. With an oiled facade and burnt sidewalls, you only need to pop the hood to see what makes this baby purr (or retrieve a nest).

SOLD!

#42-46 Treasure Chests

Some of you (dirty minded folk) have said to me "I like a nice box" or "what if I want to stick something in there that's not a bird?"

First, get some help. Second, pick up one of my Treasure Chests. Some work great as planters, others are perfect for that ridiculous penny collection of yours. You could even use it as a speaker for your iPhondroid device. Really, its use is limited only by your imagination.

Some with handles, some without.
Some with lids, some without.
