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 ~

Donna from Funky Junk Interiors is doing

"31 Days Blog to Biz" and on Day 14

she gave a Gutsy Junk Challenge ~

Here is what she said to do ~

"1. Choose an unlikely something or other.

2. Walk around the house with it.

3. Then put it to work in a way you've never seen done before.

Don't worry if it isn't a prize winner.

That's not the point.

The point is YOU stretching your OWN imagination

and not fearing what someone else will say."

Then there is going to be a

The whole point is stretching beyond

our comfort zone ~

So back to the grain buckets that I

didn't even know what they were when

I got them ~

I wayyy stretched and am working

on some things with them that I am

going to be adding to the link ~

It has been a fun challenge!

Here is just a sneak peek :)

Ohhh and while I am at sneak peeks ~

Here is a Christmas stocking I

will be putting on my website ~

I am really really denying the reality

that summer is over ~

I love sunshine and warm weather

( not the hot we had in Texas though

I have to say ) ~

Check back on the 19th to see the

whole grain bucket projects ~
