Landfill Rescue

I got this "gem" off craigslist last week for free.




Come on now, can't you see the potential?? I can, so that's why I went and picked it in spite of the lister's ringing endorsement "not sure why anyone would want this but I thought I'd put it on here before it went to the landfill." I challenge you to your own "landfill rescue," look at some of your old "junk" and repurpose it for the same or a different use.

I'm actually almost done reworking this beauty and will post it pics once it's hung in it's new place of honor by our front door!

  2. :) It's a mailbox! They don't do street mailboxes here, they're hung by the front door!

  4. It's the mail box I helped you find! You should have seen me, I'm looking and looking scrunched up against the computer screen! I couldn't figure out what I was looking at!

    Are you going to paint it or leave it the brushed aluminum?
