Refurbished Projects

I’ve been doing some recycling today. I’m not much a garbage recycler (I need to change that.), but when it comes to furniture and home accessories I’m all over it.

It’s not something I would usually do, but I bravely knocked on the door of the owner and asked if I could have it. They happily said “yes” and immediately my mind was dreaming of everything I could do with it. I then had the junking bug and started driving around the neighborhood and found a couple of benches and a shelf. Yes, I asked if I could have them and yes, I took them.

This was in the middle of the day!
