Mad Mary's Junk Yard

I like to repurpose junk and turn it into art. My current obsession is angles for your home and garden! Using old spindles, antique ceiling tin and rusty old junk. Creating is my passion and also my therapy!

Sunday, September 27, 2015

My neighbor was getting rid of this antique dresser because one of it's legs broke off!! I rescued it and decided to cut off all of the legs and add paint to top and side with lots of distressing and crackling. The drawer fronts are left in it's natural finish with stenciling. Measures 42"W x 20"D x 35 1/2" H. SOLD

  • She's a beauty!! Heavy, sturdy and solid desk. Painted it in cottage white and topped it with a stain called espresso. The oversized drawer pulls are adorable and the drawers are tongue and groove. This would make a great desk for a college student or in a child's room! Measures 40 x 29 1/2 x 18. SOLD

  • I've stripped the top of this pine pedistal table along with two leaves and painted the base in a color called Weimaraner.

It will be a tough one for me to give up! Asking SOLD

About Me

Mad Mary
I've raised two daugthers who are now off at college and I'm starting a new chapter in my life. Went back to work full-time but in my spare time I love walking, boating, spending time in my yard and garden and tinkering in my garage painting neglected pieces of furniture. I love the idea of not buying new and recycling an old dresser, desk or table etc..... the thrill of heading out to garage sales and getting that GREAT find!! I'm not happy if I don't have a project. My recent obsession is making angels for your home and garden.
