Sounds like a fun thread, Sherri. I bet I might find some new photos for the Inspiration Album from it. LOL.
I don't have anything to contribute unfortunately, but I sure enjoy seeing others' ideas with house stuff in the garden.

hugs, Karen

Thx,Karen! Speaking of which, your inspiration album, (which I love, love, love) is one of my first breaks every Monday morning at the office! Just wanted to tell ya again how SPECIAL you are to do that! I always spy something new from an old photo. Have a fab Monday, darlin!! blessings-sherri

OK - I'll be the first. An old sink we made into a birdbath. It sits right near the outhouse. I'm looking forward to some great ideas! (great subject for post, by the way).

hi everyone,it has been a while since i have posted. several years ago i did hypertufa on our pedestal sink and turned it into a fountain.
it is in my web shots pages .it is in the pond album i think.
some friends of ours are downsizing and gave us their old patio set. it had 70's flowered vinyl covering. they had tried to waterproof the seams and used the wrong thing so it stayed sticky. i made slip covers from table clothes i had used for curtains in our screened in porch.worked out great. it is a 5 piece set. it will work out great for the fire place area we are planning.i traded 3 purse/bags i made for the fireplace. some other friends took the fire place out of their house.it is great to have friends that are not into junk they don't know what they are missing.i love when they ask if i would like to have________fill in the blank.
if we had not had the flooding in my basement sewing rooms the fire place project would at least be in the works.
i will take the before and after pics. when we start the fire place project.
i forgot the before of the patio set. i'll do it later.we will be moving the BBQ pit you can see in the patio/patio kitchen album.

Arlene, I love the pic titled Sam. That is really something. You should try sending it in to a magazine to see if they will use it. Super! I bookmarked your page too so that I can go through it when I have time. I don't have anything to add from my garden...but I am so interested in seeing pictures. Good thread!

Sorry it took so long!! Here is my washing machine a friend gave me, my washtubs,(sans the wringer, still getting it's sealer bath for the summer!), and my old mixer! Those are my household-treasures-turned-planters, FOR NOW!! blessings- sherri

Cool idea with the mixer and the ornamental peppers. Really cute to use the kitchen appliance and kitchen food.
