What to do with antiques that are beyond repair??

What do you do with antiques that are beyond repair; well you can make other things out of them.

Here are just a few ideas, if you have some ideas please post comment or email

1. Dressers that do not have a repairable top. You can glue pennies or any flat object that you have enough of to the top of the dresser and then give the dresser three coats of polyurethane. Another thing to do with dressers beyond repair is to put cloth on them. Just take the knobs off of the drawers and then glue padding on the fronts of the drawers and top of dresser, then staple a beautiful piece of cloth on the drawers and top of dresser, makes for a beautiful and unique piece. Replace knobs

2. Golf Clubs, Do you have a ton of old golf clubs that you do not know what to do with. You can make lamps from them. Use your imagination and come up a unique design and then just buy a lamp kit from Wal-Mart. You can also make tables from them.

3. Old metal cabinets make great bathroom pieces. If you have one that you cannot paint or distress, just get some nice wall paper and wall paper it to match your bathroom design.

4. Antique Stand ashtrays that have the ashtray itself missing makes great bases for bedside tables or you can also make great lamps from them.

Antique Mystery Bottle

I have had this vintage bottle for about 23 years. I was with my mother-in-law in her back yard when i looked down and saw a bottle half buired in the ground. Something just made me dig it up, which was not in my nature to do back when i was a 19 year old kid. But anyway I dug it up being very careful not to break it. After a lot of directions from my mother-in-law about how to get it out of the ground with the least amount of damage it finally came out with no damage at all. It did not have a chip on it. I have had this bottle setting in my china cabinet that she bought me ever since that day only taken it out to show people and on a few occassions i have taken it to antique shopes to see if they might could tell me what it was use for or what came in this bottle. No one i have ever talked to has had any idea what it could of been used for.

The design on the bottle is what makes it so unique. It is shaped like a large skinny perfume bottle but it has elephant heads and the tusks and trunks running down the bottle. The design is baked into the bottle not painted. Most antique dealers say perfume would not of come in the bottle because of the design on the outside. It is a solid color of light blue all the way through the bottle and the top looks to maybe have had a screw top but if it did it was only one ring around to screw the top on. So i quess it having that type of screw top makes it not as old as i thought, but i could be wrong about the top. The bottle had no top when i dug it up and can only guess what type of top it had.

The Treasure Hunt

The pictures above are the three boxes I brought home yesterday. As you can see these boxes have been stored for a long time without being moved, and have collected a lot of dust. Going through them is definitely a dirty job, but a fun one. It truly is like a treasure hunt each time we bring a load home, I can't wait to see what is inside each box. The lunchboxes were the exciting treasure we found this week, along with the china. I always made fun of my father-n-law for collecting anything and everything, but I am afraid I am falling into the trap as well. I can't wait to completely go through one box before I am opening up the other two to see what is inside.
You can't imagine the boxes in the warehouse, stacks and stacks of them. It feels like it will take a life time to go through them one at a time. I think what we have on the website http://www.junkables.com/ is from around 30 boxes.
