Funky Junk (DEFINED): rusty hinges, old license plates, her get down, dusty, dirty, get it done spirit,
junky fabulishousness (ya like that new word?)
Some examples:
Miss Mustard (DEFINED): refined, elegant, composed, classic bella casa – gorgeous. She works HARD to make it look this effortless!
see the differences?
but then do you also see the similarities?
Both are lovely, unique, inspired, awesome!
thank you funky junk donna and miss mustard seed for following your own paths!
Your images are all diverse and yet gorgeous in their own right…
so here’s my version of their styles:
I have bits and pieces from around our cottage that fit the bill for both of these styles….
so I guess …..this {northern cottage} is a ….. little bit country and a little bit rock and roll
a little bit classic and a little bit junky
a little bit serene and a little bit hyped up
Here are some snippets that I feel have been inspired (rather than straight out copying) by these two:
funky junk remote storage

mine

some other shots from around this cottage that remind me of the mixture of funky junk and mustard styles:
junky
refined

junky

a glass vessel full of antique doorknobs
not sure – junky and/or refined?
I just like it
more combos of junky and refined:






ok so you can see from those shots above that I lean a little more toward junk.
Just sayin.
So I really tried to study Miss Mustard a bit more and
s .t. r. e. t. c. h…. myself.
Here’s some that are pure Miss Mustard Seed inspired and little less junkified:
Here was my inspiration
ahhhh lovely and serene image above, right?
and here is my version:
I have a newfound love for drawing nests now.
I didn’t know that I could!!
this copy challenge inspired me to do something different and I love that I did!
I have other paint projects on my list that I am totally inspired to complete but it is WAY TOO COLD HERE to paint out in the garage yet….spring oh spring where are you?
so you’ll see those someday soon (I hope!)



I agree, something seemed wrong about copying...even with permission! I like the idea of an 'echo', very clever! I enjoyed all the beauty in your cottage, be it Mustard-Seed-esque or Funky-junkish.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour!
Cheers!

I think you have your own personal touch and it is well done. For those of us who look the old and tattered the look just seems so similar.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post and all your great photos. I love what creative minds do with 'junk'.

ReplyDeleteYour "echos" are wonderful...and very complimentary of Donna's style and mine as well. Wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteI love it all. I'm stuck somewhere in the middle of junky and refined....it changes day to day. Your post is wonderful.

I love how you blended both styles into one post. You really knocked it out! The wood crates are my favorite and of course your gate :)

Great copying! All your stuff is perfect for these challenges.
ReplyDeleteI agree, an "echo" is much better than copying. Enjoyed seeing your great style.
