Dumpster Diving




Look what you can get if you are brave enough to dumpster dive!!


Actually, hubby dove in and came up with this gem.
He was doing a little work at a house where the homeowners were moving.

You would not believe the items that they threw away in the huge dumpster.

2 sets of golf clubs, tons of tennis rackets, 3 bicycles in great conditions, brand new paint rollers, a huge wooden United States puzzle only missing one state and the above mentioned frame!!
(Hubby did ask if he could have the "trash".

Believe it or not, I do NOT have a before picture. Let me tell you it was UGLY!!


After a few coats of glossy black paint and a cork board, this is the final product!!


What do you think?
