Junkers United with Family Tree Shelves and a Giveaway!
I'm Susan and this is Homeroad where I create
projects that are repurposed and reloved.
I use found objects and thrift store finds
to create one of a kind home decor projects.
My Junkers United project took
shape when I was out getting some exercise on a
walk around my neighborhood.
I ran across tree slices from a tree that had just been cut down.
The bark was so beautiful that my wheels
started turning the minute I found it...
I began by cutting a straight line along the rough
cut of the slice. I stained the top and the bottom.
Using wood glue and screws
I attached the slice to a painted board.
I cut out the word Family using vinyl and my
Silhouette machine and stenciled it onto the painted wood.
The "y" in family actually bends onto the shelf.
Following the same plan as above, I made
a smaller shelf using a wedged piece.
The bark is so beautiful, it is nice to show it off.
So that is it... A shelf make from slices of an old tree.
I'm calling it my

DeleteThe grain sack bag is wonderful, but what is better that following Funky Junk Donna led me to you. I've invited several of my like-minded friends to join you, as well. I try to find a new blog to follow each week, and you're my new friend. Have a great day and enjoy your birthday week. I must say though that I quit counting birthdays when I retired, I finally realized the old saying that you are only as old as you feel and I certainly don't feel my 64 years any more!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Mike! I'm glad you are following and thanks so much for sharing Homeroad. I will be 55 and starting to feel my age working 2 jobs... ready to retire and just create myself!
DeleteHappy Birthday, Susan! I'm excited over this party and so glad to find you. I'm your new stalker on each social platform. This party has got to be the best I've seen yet! Thank you so much for hosting. I look forward to viewing all of the links and following my favorites. I'll keep checking back, but in the meantime, I need to go out to the log pile we have and see what I can make based on your inspiration. ;) Have a great day!
