i just posted an entire entry on
thriftwhore about some junk pile finds i scored yesterday and then after publishing realized free finds were against the rules...so here ya go personal journal!
i found all of this on the side of the road in the RAIN! so it was all FREE!!
an old blueprint holder? i'm going to use it for wrapping paper
there were 2 old desks out there that had the drawers thrown all over the place. they were in bad shape, but i found these already taken off...
and these i unscrewed. i flipped a 100 lb desk over to get them. when i want something, i want it!
i also snagged 6 of the drawers so i could remove the handles. it was a vintage desk.
i also found TEN unopened curtain rods from pottery barn. i think they were donations to a church that got discarded for some reason!
along with that i found a cool table top base and brand new table top!
the solid table top i might donate, but the frame thing reminds me of the dharma initiative logo and it might need to be painted a bright color and hung on my wall...
and the most AMAZING free find ever that made me come back to the pile with a truck...
a 6ft tall antique frame! you can tell it held a canvas oil painting. i couldn't believe my eyes.
(it was by my mom's church. the nun gave us the go ahead)
