Welcome to White Wednesday hosted by Kathleen from Faded Charm.Except for the luscious and delicate white lobelia this is a post dedicated to all the JUNK in our back yard at work.
Are you ready....don't worry it's not that bad.
This is a chair from a set of 3.... a sofa and 2 chairs that we bought from an auction years ago with all intentions of getting cushions for it. In my defense I did go looking for some but never found anything I liked. So there they sit. We do sit on them sometimes but not for long.....OUch!
Ah yes the old house....the one we call the Johnney house. Long explaination....I'll spare you for now. Not technically junk but this is the back of the house. The house needs new siding so it makes no sense to paint it when it needs to be removed.
Plus I like the white chippy paint!
These are a few of the boards that were removed after the roof on the porch and the kitchen were redone last Fall....
You can see the new rafters were replaced last Fall. We don't heat the house with this wood we just store some of it here so it can dry better before we take it home.
Bathtub feet I bought at Madison Bouckville .....not really junk either....but they've been sitting here on these rocks since I've brought them back waiting to do something brilliant with them. I knew right away I was using them as a kind of pedestal.....i think??
Old baskets
Old door and column
Yes these golf balls you'll find everywhere. My husbands new passion.....GOLF

Not a ton of detail to them but it'll be fun to come up with something to do with them

Hi Carole~
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all your great "white junk". I've also really enjoyed your posts on Brimfield. I would love to be able to go someday. I noticed you have the new Sept. Jeanne 'd Arc Living magazine. I'd like to get a copy from you. Please email me with the info.
Thanks and have a great day.
Kathleen

My what lovelies you are showcasing for "white Junk" Ha!! I love it all :) Rose
ReplyDeleteNow, that looks like my kinda backyard junk! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe cottage/shabby style sure does make a person look at "junk" in a different way now. And I love the fact that you can go years without painting, and it STILL looks good!
ReplyDeletehmmm~ummmmmmmmm....I do love your junk! You know, we ARE lucky with our men and wood, aren't we....mine will paint anything I ask him to...no questions...you gotta love him for that! xojana

Hi Carole,
ReplyDeleteYou know I love junk, and you know I love gardens, so you had to know that I would love your garden junk. Beautiful! I don't even know where to start. That chair, that column, the chippy siding and window. I'm in junk Heaven. White junk Heaven. I love it all and that photo of the lobelia is gorgeous.
Hugs,
June
Oh yes, I love this rusty, old and story-telling stuff! Hugs, Traude
ReplyDeleteOh Carole, I just adore that garden chair (and the sofa and the other chair)...wonderful....I'd love similar in my garden. I love the picket fence too....and everything else in your delightful photographs...many thanks for showing us. XXXX
ReplyDeletecomme ces images sont jolies ! On dirait qu'elles arrivent d'un autre temps , et la nostalgie de cette époque là nous manque à nous , aujourd'hui ! Je vois que tu t'attends à avoir un hiver plutôt frisquet !
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore all the chippy, rusty whites...your garden is beautiful.
