I made these number tags from the bottom of wooden drawers.  I sanded the wood, painted it black, drilled a hole, stenciled the number on, distressed it, and sealed it with a... ]]> http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/16732/wooden-number-tags Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:59:35 -0400 http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/14120/magnets-from-a-vintage-dictionary http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/14120/magnets-from-a-vintage-dictionary Posted by bluejean
These magnets were made from pages of a vintage dictionary.  The art work with the type make a great little piece of art. ]]> http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/14120/magnets-from-a-vintage-dictionary Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:50:45 -0400 http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/14340/repurposed-antiques-goes-to-market http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/14340/repurposed-antiques-goes-to-market Posted by bluejean

I found these pieces of molding in a dusty old antique shop.  I loved the way they looked as is and only added an "L" bracket to the back so that they could stand up and hold books.  ]]> http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/9442/bookends-from-vintage-molding Fri, 02 Jan 2009 13:29:14 -0500 http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/5904/message-boards http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/5904/message-boards Posted by bluejean
