this weekend's theme

~ bulletin boards ~

Once upon a time I entered a contest and the theme was old.



Most would have their eye on those pretty bedframes. But I went for the jugular of all things rust, and..

 went for the rusty mattress spring instead. Oh my but how that rust is such a wonderful patina! We're talking 100% wall to wall on this thing.

After scrubbing it down with a BBQ wire brush and coating it with a clear,


I fixed up an old outdoor wooden plant hanger stolen from my neighbor's trailer bound for the dump (broad daylight, no shame) and...

made it into a mini bulletin board for...




 a bigger bulletin board of course!

(full tutorial and reveal is HERE)


The mattress spring bb was so awesome, and I greatly miss it's presence when it had to be moved. However I'm building a new place for it in my downstairs office. I meant to have a reveal ready for today but you know how it is when your book draft is due, right?

LOL. I crack me up.

So, stay tuned for that reveal coming... when I get it done. That's truthful enough isn't it?


Got a cool bulletin board creation to share of your own?

~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, then cut and paste that url) If your post has been deleted, please try again.

 2. Please put a link in your post (button or text) that leads back to the party so others can see what's up. (see BUTTONS label under main blog header)

 3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style.

4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old.  This helps keep content fresh.

The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS and will remain open for your new additions at any time. Click HERE for the main list.

If you can't decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It's all good!
