When I said my fence was "trashy" what I meant was...
I am a firm believer
that one person’s junk can literally be another person’s treasure. I make
driving through my neighborhood on garbage night a regular activity - and I'm not too proud to share that on the Internet! My husband and I live in a really cute suburban neighborhood and sometimes I just can't believe the stuff people throw out! Some of
the furniture in my house that receives the most compliments by guests are items I have rescued from the side of the road. We garbage-pickers know that all you need is hot soapy water, some good
spray paint or wood stain and you've got yourself a great looking and unique décor
item that will be noticed by everyone (and it was free!)
