Trash on My Wall

It was another one of those times.... I was driving, and pulled over when I saw free stuff on the curb. This time it was just two boxes, but I really wanted to know what was inside of them. 

I found this large copper-ish picture with an embossed head of a horse on it. The frame was way worn, there was no glass, the matting was ripped, and the entire thing had some weird clear jelly substance all over it. I took it home anyways. I wish I had a before picture, so you could see how bad it was but I was just interested in getting the jelly stuff out of my house. 

I removed the frame, added a bit of paint and glaze, and put it in a frame. Ta-da! Trash on my walls.... again.... It's probably not the last time either.

 

One Man's Junk....

A couple of days ago my husband was running a service call, and saw a bunch of stuff piled in someone's yard. He has the same addiction to free that I do, so he brought a bunch of stuff home for me.

His luck is better than mine, because he found some really cool stuff. 

I was so happy- Definitely a great husband moment.

These two awesome paintings. They're signed, but I couldn't find anything about the artist online. My Husband thinks that the guy tossing them out, could have even painted them. They're both huge! The first is my favorite.

 

 

 

I love free curb junk!
