Dumpster dives with you... hauls the "treasure" away in her van swagger wagon, and then helps you place it strategically in your garage, so that it is hidden stored nicely away to not be seen by hubby, until it is needed.
I know... I'm a good friend.
What can I say :) jk
Should I be worried, that on our way to the dumpster... Ronda said I was the only person who she could think of... who wouldn't think SHE was crazy for diving into the dumpster for peoples old trash???
(She's right...does that make ME crazy too?)
lol
I have a friend like that too. They are the best. That door looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I have a friend like that too! The door is an awesome find.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind going through garbage in other neighborhoods... currently there are some awesome wood pieces in my neighbors trash. I think I'll check it out after dark. ;)

I love that, I need a buddy like that! My sister would but she is in California and I am in Iowa! No such luck! I can dream though!
ReplyDeleteThat door was worth rescuing!
ReplyDeletehow fun :) it would be totally worth it to find great treasures ;) Now I just need to find a friend who would do that for me...I mean WITH me ;)
ReplyDeleteGirl you know I am all about the dumpster diving. I wish I could find a cute door like that. The other day the foreclosed home next to mine was being cleaned out. So of course I walked over there and asked what they do with the stuff. They said they just throw it away and I could have what I want. There was this entertainment center that needs some serious tlc but girl when it's done watch out. Now I just need to figure out where to put it. I think I am going to turn it into a bookshelf kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteMan! I need to know how to choose the right dumpster to find something that great! I want to come dumpster diving!
ReplyDeleteFound your blog a few weeks ago- now you're a daily check for me! My grandfather was the king of dumpster diving- everytime we would visit him he would have a new treasure to show us like a little pedal tractor or golf clubs! Dumper diving is in my blood! You're blog is so cute and full of great ideas- thanks for putting it out there!
ReplyDeleteAmazing Door!! I am lucky to have a couple friends like that :D A few months back I was driving through and doubled back to pull a full set of white plantation shutters in perfect condition and not even dirty out of someones garbage can. I felt wierd but it was SO worth it (well, it will be as soon as I get the lightning bolt inspiration of where to use them!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI love it! What's she going to do with it?
ReplyDeleteFor that door, I'd climb in after it too! I'd love to have a partner in crime. If you need a third wheel, I'm available! Camille :)
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh out loud! I just "saved" two solid wood patio chairs (from the 70's) during our city wide cleanup week. I don't have a van or truck, so I hauled them home on my bike rack, one at a time!!!
ReplyDeleteI just told my husband that they were free, but not where they came from! And I wanted to hide them also, but they were too big!
Good for you to "recycle" stuff!
I totally would have jumped in for that. I have plans to make a headboard out of an old door just like that one. Now just convincing my hubby to help.
ReplyDeleteThat door is absolutely beautiful! I would've gladdy dived (dove/diven haha jk) into that dumpster for that. those doors are a hot commodity and don't usually come cheap let alone free in a dumpster! Good friend indeed!
