Junk to Wall Art

My master bedroom has really come together in the last week (latest room to be finishing), so I'm going to start showing you all my projects from it. 

Here's the first show and tell:

The Junk Wall Art


I found a crib sitting outside of a dumpster this past spring and I just had to go back and pick it up! So far I've used 4 of the 5 parts. I've seen many of these as note holders and just love them. 
It just took a little paint and a little sandpaper.


I purchased these two sconces and a chandelier for $25 off Craigslist about 4 yrs ago! Now I finally have them up to match the chandelier in this room. I'm hoping to get them wired to a plug-in chord. 


The pictures were things I just  had around. I'd like to change the cheap-o looking picture in the middle, but for now it matches, so it will stay.

  13. What another great way to use a crib spring. I can't find one anywhere! Love how it looks in your room, and love the sconces. I so want them. Been looking for a pair for my kitchen. A very creative and serene look. Thanks for sharing your inspiration at Sunday's Best!

  14. Too bad that you can't find one Cathy! I've found two now outside of dumpsters! You'll just have to drive by some shady apartment dumpsters. lol

  17. Love it - I used one on my mantel this Christmas and am moving it into the kitchen for notes. It's green which is cool so I didn't have to paint it. Love your white one!

  20. Love it! Added the springs from my Mom's and Aunt's crib in our bedroom over the weekend. Currently all it is holding is a wreath. Love it though!!

  21. Found you on Chic on a Shoestring: Man I wish I would've seen this earlier...I remember when we threw out ours ...I held onto it for at least a year trying to find something to do with it.

    Great idea!

  31. I am so in awe of your creativity. You are so awesome.How you come up with some of your ideas is beyond me but you make everything work. You inspire me to think outside of the box. I will try but I'm afraid I'm not that talented,so I may copy a few of your ideas in my own home. I hope you don't mind. Thank you for sharing your talent.
