Look what I found!!
Someone's trash has become our treasure! I was driving home through our neighborhood and found this (the arbor - not Lil' Mama's fiance) curbside among trash for pick up. I went home and got Lil' Mama and we went to claim our "find". We somehow wrangled this big ol' arbor part way into the back of the SUV - much of it was hanging out the back. Lil' Mama sat in the back holding onto the "find" enough to allow us to get it home. Trust me when I say the photo makes it look much better than it actually looks close up. It needs a lot of TLC. It needs some repair, sanding, priming, and heaven only knows how much spray paint. But we are up for the challenge. We think it'll be great for using for Lil' Mama's wedding, and then I'll have it to put in my rose garden. Win/Win.
We're waiting for a little cool weather then we'll begin the transformation project. I'll try to remember to post before and after photos. Love me a good find!

Great find and great way to repurpose something!! Can't wait to see what you do to fix it up.
What a find and that you will have beautiful roses growing up on it later. I am looking forward to seeing all the transformations. I'm sure they are having lots of fun together looking for furniture. So exciting. A new life together.
I've got the cool weather, come on up North!! Sounds like fun times in your house hold,!!!!!
I love your post ... and enthusiasm. :)
How cool that you found this. I think that makes it even more special - a more interesting story. When you reuse it in your garden, you will have a permanent keepsake from Lil Mama's wedding. Who knows, maybe granddaughter will use it for her wedding someday.
THAT was a great road-side find. I love when you find things like that! It will be gorgeous for the wedding AND for your garden later. xo Diana
How fun to get all the finds ready for her special day and also her home with soon-to-be new hubby! I had an arbor like that for our son's wedding reception. I had it in our garden until a huge branch fell and totally squashed it! I was really sad to loose it but no amount of TLC would bring it back!
What a great find.....it will be fun to see how it looks when you are done. You may have the beginnings of a family heirloom.
wow! what a great find!!
