I have yet to pass up a broken wagon sitting on the edge of the curb in the trash.
I have at least 6 of them. lot's of red ones, a yellow one and a black one.
O, I love that black one.
Some we use in the yard, some just sit in the garage piled with stuff.
This red one was missing some wheels.
So, I sawed (and when I say "I" I mean my nephew Matthew) off the axle and 3 remaining wheels
and was left with this. The perfect little shelf.
It's the perfect vintage pop of color for my kitchen.














So adorable., Denise!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right - it's PERFECT !
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cute! Love the idea! I think it would look good in a kids room or playroom too. I might have to keep my eye out for one now!

too cute! and i think i would be doing the same thing- picking them up and taking them home- see how useful they can be!
ReplyDeleteHow perfect! What an unexpected and cute way to make a shelf! It's really more of a piece of art, actually!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea! It is so charming and has such wonderful patina!
ReplyDeleteHow clever! A perfect pop of red looks great anywhere. Love this.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I Love it. What an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! It sounds like you have a nice nephew, too.

I really like how the room turned out. The wall color is so cozy.
ReplyDeleteOH so cute-- these would be so cute in my grandson's rooms!
ReplyDeleteI love the project and I bet it will be copied all over the place now, (with the intent to flatter, Of course)
Adorable...what a darling idea!
ReplyDeleteI am IN LOVE with that wagon shelf!! I just sold my old metal wagon!! such a bummer :(
ReplyDeleteThat is a Fantastic idea !!!!! Very VERY cute !
ReplyDeleteI'm glad creative people like you are out there. I wouldn't have thought of something like that. Now I'll be looking for an old wagon being thrown away to put shelves in for my Grandchildren. They would love to see a wagon on their wall. They would think it was cool. Boys.....BTW thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHow did you attach the shelves?? I love this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I have a wagon issue too. My daughter get's embarrassed when I pull over to the curb to rescue one. I will be using this clever idea for sure.
