Simple Junk

When you hear decorating with junk do you picture a room filled with rust and crust and chippy paint?  It doesn't have to look like a mini version of the local salvage yard.  You can use bits and pieces of junk to add a unique touch to your home without turning it into Fred Sanford's place.  Case in point this box and picture holder.
The box was a white box found at the thrift store.  I added some Florence chalk paint and a junky "handle" in the form of a spring I had.
I simply added a few screws to attach the spring (excuse the sawdust in the pictures) to the box lid.
And the picture of my dad from the Navy is held up by a door lock casing.
Simple junky touches to give your home a personality of its own, without overrustifying it!  Find more ideas at Donna's Funky Junk Interiors.

    I love Montana. Half my family has lived in the Bitteroot from years, some still do. The other half lived in the Flathead area. Beautiful country!!!
