From Card Table to Wall Art

While driving along minding my own business recently, I came across a pile of vintage card tables sitting by the roadside. Well you know me and how this whole junk decor thing works...so I did a little turnaround of the van to check these goodies out. I couldn't leave them all stranded-like, ya know.

I loved what I saw. The tables were definitely vintage, some with wood legs...some metal. But most were decorated with unbelievably cool designs that you just don't see anymore. Then I spotted the superstar in the group!


Check out this black and white plaid baby! She was all nestled in among the group of brown and green tables, but I knew immediately what part of my home she was meant for. My foyer.


The foyer has a 17' ceiling so it requires larger pieces of artwork for the walls. Larger pieces of art means large amounts of cash most times, hence the walls in this area have been bare for the last 2-1/2 years...that is, until now.


From the curbside to my entrance wall. And best of all...I could cut out the middleman.

As always, take care and keep on junking!

  7. Card table, card table on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? The b&w plaid one, wins! I have never seen such a pretty card table. You scored! I hope you took them all. I love the brown leather ones with the stitching. This was an A+ repurpose my friend! It was meant to be.

  12. Oh my Gosh! I am in junk heaven. I was visiting Faded Charm and was caught by her mention of Junk Dreams. And while drooling over her stuff, she mentioned you. I am so into curb treasures, so I can't wait to scroll through both you gal's blogs and get caught up. I have been in a funk and this may be just what the doctor ordered. Two junk blogs a day with keep the doc away.
    Thanks for the inspirations ;-)
