Window Greenhouse

I have been collecting windows and old table legs to create my very own, one of a kind greenhouse. Finally finished!

The front window even opens as a door

Inspiration

Remember you yesterday

Dream your tomorrow

Live your today.

Believe

My dear friend was having a biopsy today and may be having her kidney removed as they believe she has cancer. These signs were made for her to try and bring her comfort during this trying time. Please say a little pray for her if you could.

Simple Man Part 2

We made it back to pick up some more wood. I brought my camera this time.

The cabin he lived in, built by himself.

The sweet pregnant coon dog with Makayla.

The pigeon coop. He had quite a few homing pigeons.

It really is a beautiful spot.

Thinking Outside the Box

Remember the boxes I picked up the other day? Well I transformed the one on top already.

Here it is, OK but I knew it could make a statement.

Here it is after with black and white stripes.

Simple Man

Well last night we set out to check out the amazing stack of windows that were advertised on craigslist. We met up with Dina, a sweet lady who was cleaning out her fathers home. Let me tell you his home was great! He had built it himself he was a simple man with no electric, plumbing or indoor bathroom. Apparently it was his dream to live this way once he retired. The cabin he lived in was amazing and there was also a pigeon coup he built as well. I am so disappointed I didn't take my camera, BUT we are probably going back this weekend as there was a ton of wood perfect for signs! So I will get some pictures.

This is what I came home with.

Out of all that only two windows.

Some amazing table legs or railing posts.

This fabulous mirror that can hopefully be reassembled.

Just love the carved detail!

Some decorative pieces off of old dressers.

Some old boxes

A fabulous glass knob!

My favorite find, these amazing signs from a local bakery that was open in the 80's. These were in their burn pile but after Dina saw my blog she pulled them out for me, isn't she the best!

A metal plant stand

There were so many treasures! Her father obviously had vision for all of these things and I am sure that is why he collected them, a junker after my own heart!

Windows

I am going to see a women tonight about some windows, some serious windows. I am SO excited! Perhaps I am strange to have such a passion for old windows but I can't help it. (photo was borrowed from the Craigslist ad)
