With all of the craziness going on in our lives right now, Dixie and I are not able to go junkin, even though we think it would be the best therapy for us, so we turned to the web to be creative. Here are some pics we thought were great ideas....
A client once told us she wanted copper tile as a backsplash in her kitchen but her budget wouldn't allow it so she used pennies instead. Here is a photo that uses the same technique on a floor. We love the subtle shimmer the timeworn pennies give off against the black grout.

Here is another creative use for old windows, make a bar or an island out of them. It is
super simple just some hinges, dowels and a sheet of glass. It looks funky and fun!

Here old wine corks were used as floor molding. This is a great way to ad some whimsy to a dining room. This project would take a whole lotta corks but you sure could have a darn good time drinking all of those bottles!

One more thing, it's the same concept as the pennies, these are bottle caps. At first we thought they were buttons (buttons could probably be used in the same way). Kind of reminds us of the glass tiles that are so popular now. We could see using this in the
man cave, guys would love it!

Ok fellow junkers, we need to ponder over some of your creative ideas to keep our spirits up, so share some ideas with us by commenting. We love to read about the ideas you have too.
Linda & Dixie
