Junk hunting - my recent findings

I realized that I have become a real JUNKER!. Yes, I am more and more into "digging" into old houses cellars and basements, especially old country houses. Of course, only if the host is your sister or some other relatives.
One month ago we went to my sister's husband old house in the countryside. The house have been empty for many years, and they have started to renovate it. During that first visit I was so impressed by all the things that they considered useless and old, so last weekend we visited them again. This time, I took my tool box with me and spent 4 days enjoying and working.

Here are some photos of before and after. 

3 old chairs, thrown away, broken, ready to be burnt!





 







 This very old small table was very damaged. I tried to save it, at least to serve as a side table, and to add a some drama to the place. Here it is what it come out after my "intervention".
