I love Summer time and outdoor
VINTAGE style...
Mr. Dior and I had such fun this past week
with our latest curbside makeovers.
First we took a vintage wood ladder
and married it with planks of
rescued reclaimed wood.
The planks were secured onto the steps of the ladder
with 1 and a half inch wood screws.
Then sealed with clear finishing wax
to bring out the luster of the reclaimed planks.
Now it was ready to display
my white ironstone dishes.
I could only imagine setting up a
darling beverage station
with vintage buckets as well.
I love the patina on reclaimed vintage
pieces. The aged wood has such a gorgeous
pale gray tone which I never tire of...
Next we took an vintage sink
and used it as a planter.
Mr. Dior and I framed
the rescued wood pallet with
some scrap pieces of reclaimed fence
to add character and depth.
Here is the framed pallet...
I sealed this pallet with polyurethane
to protect it from the weather elements...
Lastly we took a dumpster
table and recycled it into a new
reclaimed beauty...
We framed her outside with reclaimed fence post
to add a thickness to the table top.
Then finished her with thick
reclaimed thick wood planks...
I will be linking up with
my favorite lovelies in blog land...

Love your post. I have a sink on my porch with flowers in it. I showed my husband your blog and told him other people do the same things! He just shakes his head at what I bring home but after 26years he deals!
So gorgeous Kate! I need to do that with a ladder! I just love it!
Kate, framing that last table with reclaimed wood was genius! You always get me thinking about how to go beyond the obvious. I adore the ladder shelf! Kicking myself now for leaving an old ladder at my old place :) Love the sink planter, as well. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creative ideas!

I love how you added the planks to the ladder, Kate. Such a great touch and great way to add more display space. Love all of your curbside finds.
I pray this has been a great week so far and that you continue to feel strong!!
My love to you from Tennessee!!!
I love the ladder! It really does enhance the charm of the ironstone dishes! How wonderful that you have a partner in crime and one who sees the beauty in disgards like you do! All fabulous ideas!
You and your husband have quite the knack for making things beautiful once again. I love the table at the end..

Hi Kate, sorry I am late to visit, but this last week I have been sick, sick, sick, started with a sore throat that kept me down, then felt much better to have a turn with sinus, and sneezing! and coughing Yikes!
Feeling so much better tonight and had to come visit your first, I am feeling the spring blues and wishing I was already for summer salvage chic ness.
You my dear have inspired me to take a ladder and create something that I can put to garden use as you have done here.
I love the old sink, it would make a great birdbath :)
I am always looking forward to what next you come up with, you set a little fire under me to get busy on my own hunt for cast offs and curb side junk.
Keep inspiring your finds, I am off to finish my little up-styling of moving a couple of furniture pieces around. It always makes you feel good after a sick week to have a little change in the house to lift your spirits.
Keep inspiring all your treasures.

Hello beautiful Kate! You and your husband have done some awesome make-overs. I love the the grays in the ladder and all of your curbside rescues. I sure wish I could find a sink like that to make a birdbath for my secret garden. It is beautiful!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
hugs from me....
Hi kate, love the ladder and the sink is too cute! I have been wanting to do that with one of my ladders. Maybe a small one to use in my craft room. Hubby snickers at what I bring home to plant in. I must show him your sink! The table really turned out so awesome. Thanks for sharing your fun rescues with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
What great creations...you two know how to have fun!
