Dumpster Diving Minus the Dumpster

I salvaged this fun piece from a burn pile. It was filthy, covered in chicken poop. A little cleaning and paint, some added "hooks" saved it from an untimely death.

    This is so cute!!! What is a pew hook? (Was the caption meant to say 'new' hook? Whatever it is, it's very cool looking!

    I should have said pew clip--it was a clip attached to church pews to hold offering envelopes.

    I love your new little table and for me the Red just sets it off! Yes, definitely better than chicken poop color hehehe. I have chickens too but unfortunately we don't have any tables in the coop for me to salvage LOL
