Oh, the junking has been fine, my friends! Look at the beauty that came home with us Saturday! It will have a place of honor in our someday master bath reno. It's the perfect size and depth for a deep soak after a long day! Sorry, Deb, no mannequins to demonstrate! :)
The master bath reno will be a MAJOR ordeal, but it will be worth it in the end. I can totally envision the final product! This tub is a great vintage piece in great condition, so it is worth holding onto until the time is right. Alas, it will have to hibernate until RJNJ has the time to take on such an endeavor. Until then, I have plenty of DIY Club projects that I've been working on. And here are some other goodies I found to inspire projects in the meantime...
 |
| The door? From the Duluth, MN, courthouse. You will see this in the doorway between the kitchen and laundry room. The sign? From the now defunct "Ideal Grocery" in Duluth, MN. Hoping to work this into the kitchen somehow. |
 |
| L-O-V-E-ing this vintage GE meter. It has a current home in the laundry room. It is a fun and expected piece simply hung on the wall. |
 |
| One of two almost identical seltzer bottles found on the same day at different locations. |
 |
| Here's the second. Both "made in England." |
 |
| Some smalls that made their way home from a junk place in Wisconsin. See that glass ball on the metal stand? A vintage liquid soap dispenser. A perfect accessory to coordinate with the "new" old tub! Those colored chips? Vintage wooden nickels...most marked with Wisconsin locations. |
That's all for now! I have tons of projects to show you! I have a couple for the upcoming Junk Potluck at Junkologie Blog Party 2010 and several others for the DIY Club September party. The summer is ending soon, and I've already started some fall decorating in the master bedroom. A hint? Ummmm...nope! Y'all will just have to wait!
A QUICK FAVOR!

Amy,
ReplyDeleteThat tub is the best find EVER!!!!
Wiping the drool from my lips as I type!!
Oh those old tubs are fantastic. Heavy and they keep the water hot! I would love to have the one I grew up with- who knows where that one ended up! Sure do like that door and the spritzer bottle. Is it similar to a seltzer bottle? I've seen those in shops for over $100. Ridiculously expensive.

Girl, I am comin' up there and shopping with you!! Did I ever tell you Duluth is one of our most FAVORITE midwest travel destinations! I love it up there...and if I can find good junk like this, I'm on my way. I would do cartwheels for that grocery sign!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with it. Did you see my post. I am so sad. ;o( I won't be selling at Junk Bonanza afterall. ~sigh~
