Looking for good junkin' in Austin & my space at Vintage Market
I found this old potting bench, broken apart, and brought it home. After rebuilding it, powerwashing it, sanding it, painting it, and re-sanding here it is. I sewed a burlap skirt, complete with stay-stitching, and applied it with upholstery tacks. I sorta like the hooks to open it. It is, of course, for sale at Vintage Market. I think it would make a great work station or even a kitchen island.
Also, I am going to Austin, Texas soon and will be perusing shops for wares and good finds. Do any of you have any recommendations for junking or anything else?
