What could one do with a bunch of vintage yardsticks?
How about...make a chair-rail.
A friend of my pal, Jennie, used vintage yardsticks to make a chair-rail in this room.
What until you see the rest of the room. It's not what you think. I'll share more about it next week.
For now, what do you think of the yardstick chair-rail?
Cool, huh?
Here's even a little yardstick charm added just above the baseboard.
I love this. Now, I just need a bunch of vintage yardsticks.

What a cool idea. I would have never thought of this! I cannot wait to see the whole room! I often see those old yardsticks that unfold at antiques stores and want to buy them, but I never know what I'd do with them.
ReplyDeleteoh i love this idea! gotta keep scouting the auctions,flea markets and yard or estate sales. i found some really cool ones this past year.
ReplyDeleteYou and Jennie have the best finds! Is that chalkboard paint. Ooh, the mystery!
ReplyDeleteHow clever is this! So cool and unique.
ReplyDeleteOoh! I wish I could see it in the whole room!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I wonder how long she had to collect them.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea!! Love it
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool! I hope you do it in your house.
ReplyDeleteCute idea! In fact, I found a couple of old yard sticks at an estate sale today and might just have to hang on to them!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY JUNKIN!! Cathy aka GGJ
I adore vintage yardsticks too! I have a collection going for a project i have planned so my eyes are always open to add to the pile! I have my sister and mother-in-law in on the hunt for me too! What a great way you've used them!

That's a cute idea. Can't wait to see more of Jennie's room. It's so funny that so many of us collect those things, isn't it? Altho I wouldn't have nearly enough to go around a room. She must have found the motherlode of vintage yardsticks! Hurry up and show the rest of the room, the suspense is killing me....
ReplyDeleteLOVE. But yeah... need to see more. What were you thinking leaving us hang like this?!? :)
