    She's Got Guts Challenge

    So I told you a couple posts back

    about Funky Junk Interiors

    "She's Got Guts" challenge ~

    It was to take something random

    and do something with it that

    you might not normally think of ~

    Today is the link party day!!

    Remember the grain buckets that

    I got a couple of weeks ago ?

    I knew that my challenge had to be

    with those ~ So I went out to

    my workshop and just

    grabbed stuff that has been out

    there forever ~

    We have been redoing our bathroom

    and my studio ~ I needed some

    farmhouse style things for those

    rooms so that is where my brain was

    headed ~

    The first thing is this wayyyy awesome

    basket that I found at a flea market ~

    It is perfect for a

    studio organization piece ~

    I tied on two of the grain buckets

    and used them for buttons and pictures ~

    Now I love it even more than I did before!!

    The next thing was for

    a blank wall in our bathroom

    that I really couldn't figure

    out what to put on it ~

    This old frame worked great with

    hanging grain buckets ~ I put in chunky

    farmhouse soaps and a candle that

    is battery operated {I love those! }~

    Lastly was for our

    other bathroom ~ I took an old

    door front and repainted it with

    Old White Chalk Paint and put some

    dark wax and clear wax ~ Then attached

    the grain buckets to it for more

    soaps and another candle ~

    It was a great thing to

    stretch my imagination and do

    things that I really hadn't thought

    of before ~

    Canton Junkin' and What are These ....

    Last week I got to go junkin'

    in Canton Texas ~ If you have

    followed my blog for very long

    then you know it is one of my

    favorite times of the month!!

    I LOVE it!!

    Here are some of the wayyyy cool

    things that I found ~

    But....right as I was leaving

    I saw these ( see pics below )

    and for some reason really like them ~

    The guy selling them said they are

    grain buckets ~

    Does anyone know if that is what they are?

    I just know they would make

    the coolest little thingies to hold

    stuff but I haven't figured out

    how or what to do with them yet ~

    I love the colors and the rust ~

    So very Vintage Farmhouse ~

    They have 2 holes in the back

    that are perfect for hanging ~

    I need to scour Pinterest I am thinking ~
