i love junk.

i love to decorate my house with junk.
it's cheap & it has character.
i don't really like the look of houses that look like they walked into kirklands and bought out the store.
but to each his own. . . i digress. :)

i loved this idea from layla at the lettered cottage

last weekend we stopped by a road side tent sale and found, (much to my husband's disdain) this big ol', 4 foot wide, metal grid.

aj thinks it was probably a gate to something.

 we (and by we, i mean aj) hung it in our office with some hooks we had on hand.

i love it in all it's rusty goodness.
i look forward to filling it with pictures over time.

also at that tent sale i found this old rusty tool box.

i'm not sure what i'm going to put in it.
avery wants to use it as a money box or to sort his legos.
i'm thinking it's a teensy bit rusty for that.
i think it would be cute with some bright white towels folded up in it or candles or i don't know what.

 today i picked up this chunky pedestal at good will for 2 bucks.

 i love it on my mantel with this old window that i moved in from the office.
i think it's on a much better scale here than it was over the office sofa.

is it weird that my heart starts beating fast and i get all giddy when i see a yard sale sign?
my name is sara and i am addicted to cheap junk.
