Upcycled antiques and display ideas

Hubs and I have going to auctions on our retirement “to do” list.  The first couple years we spent all our time renovating and preparing to sell our home of over 45 years and have been busy renovating our current home.  We are finally at a point we can enjoy going and doing some things on that list.  DIL brought by an auction notice that was only 15 miles away.  The description looked intriguing so we headed over to the neighboring town to check it out.  The upcycled projects and display ideas were worth the trip!

Junk decorating

One of my brothers and his wife are very eclectic and have wonderful old finds decorating their ranch style home.  I didn't ask what this cone shaped bucket is for, but I love how she coupled it with that FAMILY sign outside their barn.  She also has a cute junk garden next to her driveway with a re purposed wood flag I envy. 

One day soon I will take some photos to share of their newly added master bedroom suite.  It is an amazing work of art with old wood, tin, tile and .... oh, you will love it.
