Pin It Now!
This past weekend was beautiful and I couldn't help but notice that Portlanders decided to take advantage of the sunshine and clean out some cobwebs, mainly in the form of furniture.
Brandon and myself found this free pile just a block down the road from our residence in SE:
Later that evening Brandon went for a jog and came home with a lovely wicker chair:
He decided to temporarily use it for his office chair, but now it's in its rightful location out on the porch and I have to say I love it because we were in desperate need of a chair for the porch.
On Sundays I've been trying to go for long walks. I was just outside Laurelhurst Park when I saw a woman thoroughly examine a very nice bookshelf, which she then determined was worth having a loaded it up in her car.
Much later in my walk I came upon this somewhat shiny, yet forlorn looking rocking chair on a corner just down the road from People's Coop.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and perhaps acquired a new piece of furniture!

Free Box Art
Pin It Now!
A year or so ago Free Box the Magazine put out a free art issue where I showcased various bits of art I had found in free boxes and how lot's of free boxes contain art or craft items to be put to good use.
I came across just such a free sidewalk today that fit the free art category or make some art with these items category.
There was a "car" seat made out of some rusty metal. I am pretty sure it was a pre-existing art piece that was be discarded. There was a sweet window that would make a great frame. There was a desk, a bulletin board with tacks, a toaster and lastly a chair that needed some work.
As I was taking photos of the assortment of items, a very nice gentleman came up and examined everything. He ended up taking the chair, which needed some work. He said he fixes chairs all the time.
Hooray! I love it when broken down objects get a second chance and a new life. Maybe that is why I love free boxes so much or it could be that everything if free.
