I went with Black!

I chose black not only because it was my followers most popular choice...

but because my plans included adding some stenciledwords and numbers to the door...  and black stenciling just worked with the black base... 

I also added a grain sack stripe  down the center of the table...

and my favorite number to the other side...


Thanks for your help friends...

I think black was the perfect choice!

There is this antique dealer (or junk guy) that lives a few blocks from me and he is always throwing out great things!

Just a warning, this post is going to make you dizzy. 
I've changed my mind while making this piece several times along the way.
Recently I drove by the old junk dealers house and as usual there was a pile of junk at the curb.

I began by "sewing" on the chicken wire using jute twine with a large needle I made out of wire.


Each shelf has a special use.

A magnetic washboard...

Clip on memos...

Rusty metal spikes are wedged in between the shelves to act as ribbon holders...

A basket for "stuff"...

And a bar across the top of the shelf hangs hooks for whatever you want to hang...


All together it makes an awesome junky organizer and is perfect on the big wall in my new craft space!
