Sat Nite Special link party 116 - your best 2011 JUNK project


Welcome to Saturday Nite Special #116, the multi themed link party! 

* Home Decor
 * Crafts, / Sewing / Recipes
* Theme of the week

Every Fri 7pm  to Sunday 11 pm Pacific.

Today we're honoring JUNK. :) 

And here are a few of my favorite junk posts from 2011.



This is the day I spent at Granny and Grumpa's. This is a home based biz at a nearby farm (in the lower mainland BC Canada) that houses BARNS full of awesome finds. You will love this tour!

This post is truncated for quicker loading. 

Please click lower left for more.




Another fab place to visit if near Langley BC Canada is Napier's. Ooooo lah lah this place is stacked to the rafters with anything you can think of.

So what do you do with all this stuff once you get it home? 



You create JUNK STORAGE for it, of course. This is my staging stash in my downstairs office.



And last but not least, here's my fav little junk project.  This one board toolbox was created to work with the drill handle. Full tutorial is HERE. I owe Julie from Follow Your Heart Woodworking a big thanks for giving me the courage to build it!

Link up your ONE favorite JUNK project in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

Upcoming themes:

Jan 20 - your 2011 best OUTDOOR project


Jan 27 - Picture Perfect room reveals

and for the month of Feb, we'll be bringing some fav themes back, so stay tuned!

 1. DIY home projects only pretty please. Items for sale must be in tutorial form on your blog.

    We really LOVE the old cars in the first picture! So adorable!
    I's so great to shop old stuff, take care of it and give it a new purpose... a new home... Love it!

    Thanx for great inspiration!
