New Favorite Junk Store

. Sunday, March 27, 2011 .
Oh my!!! Mark teased me with a drive by this wonderful yard of treasures. So today we had a date...guess where we ended up! Yea Junk Yard.

It was hard to know where to begin.  There are at least three small barns jammed with stuff...all kinds of stuff.  You name it, Greg has it!  And lots of it. 

If you have about a week to spare, you might be able to see everything, once.  That's the part I love...climbing in and out of stuff.  Hunting under stuff...maybe kinda picking up something that falls apart.

The first visit is a little over whelming.  I have a running list of things that I think we could use to jazz up the yard.

We couldn't get everything in the van today.  Mark is going by to pick up the rest tomorrow before work.

Okay, so here is the plan.  The door is going to be refinished and used as a headboard for Michael's bed.  The two small iron andirons are going to be planted in the yard and be made into boot holders (pics later).  The tall shutters will be turned into a really cool planter for succulents.  The concrete bowl with also have succulents and be on the front porch.  And the larger andirons will be part of the shutter planter.  I worked on removing all the paint tonight but still have a long way to go.  But I have a deadline...June 12...you know we have a wedding rehearsal dinner to prepare for.  That is what gets me motivated.

Greg Miller's Antiques and Collectables, 7636 St. Rt. 28, Leesburg, OH
Open Sundays 1-5  and  Mondays 9-2

I can imagine that you are cracking up...thinking 'are these people crazy!' You won't be the first to think that. Let us know what you thought was a really cool idea...and maybe share some of your own ideas...where do you think we come up with all this cool stuff?
