First of all…don’t you just love the graphic above? Tricia Anne from Notes of Sincerity was kind enough to let me use this graphic for an article I am writing for my Thrifty Shopping column on examiner.com. I recently did some dumpster diving while visiting my friend Melinda…I did some poking around in her neighbor’s dumpster and found the white and black/gray iron pieces below. They are now sitting above a bathroom door entrance and bathroom window. I may spray paint them black. I love how they look. Did you notice my tacky stick in the window. Some day soon I will get the locking handle fixed.

Trash rocks! :)
LOOOOOOOVE those scrolly things!!
Don't spray paint the first one! I think it looks awesome just the way it is. It makes it look like it was intentioned to be part of the trim. Looks great!
How fun for you to dumpster drive..Love the new pieces you found.
See you tomorrow...
Deb :)
I remember those scrolly pieces as being the "tops" of the gates that enclosed our play yard when I was a little girl-- and that was a long time ago! :-) I'd bet that those lovely pieces you found used to be on top of chain link fence gates. Wow --they look SO SO SO much better inside than they ever did outside!
Love the Dumpster diving logo...great.
