This wooden frame is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever saved from a dumpster.
Just look at her! Boring, unfinished wood, water damage and terrible, crude uneven wood carving. She was a disaster. Someone donated her to the ReHouse, and they threw her next to the dumpster. Honestly, I don’t blame them. They are in the business of architectural salvage, not “crafts gone wrong” salvage.
I stapled some chicken wire to the back of the frame. The guy at Lowes said, “Good luck with that!”. Ha. No chickens for me, just the cute hexagon shape for projects like this.
I found this picture on my phone; Joshua took it when I wasn’t paying attention. I used a clothes pin to hang a note that says, “Chicken wire- not just for chickens” I’m going to send this back over to the ReHouse. I can’t wait to see if anyone recognizes Theresa, and hope maybe someone will buy this vintage-fabric-wrapped-chicken-wire-memo-board.
you never cease to amaze me…..and thinking that’s what the guys at Lowes are saying by now!
great idea! love it!
