So when I saw this old, dirty, beat-up chicken incubator for just $5.00, I went for it. WAIT!Don't run away screaming just yet. Stick with me.
It took a LOT, LOT, LOT of cleaning.
And I had to stain it (I chose a dark for a contemporary look) and poly it. I also added 4 chunky legs.
I left on this piece that is part of the original heating system.
Of course I wouldn't do anything to harm the cool door on the end. Not only is it cool, but it opens up so you can store items inside.

Oh my. Too fantastic! I found a similar incubator at my fav. barn sale the other day, but it was GROSS and they wanted $25. Yeah. It stayed there, hidden in the very dirty barn. Yours is making me rethink it though. Darn't!
You're such a smart cookie!

AH! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!
You are the mastermind of transformations!!!
Midge this is awesome! I've never seen one like it and probably won't! Great job. I like your way of thinking about how much you pay for something - cheap is good - but free is even better!

Amazing! This is my first visit to your site. I'll be checking back often to see what innovation you come up with next.
Wow, that is awesome! Love the door in it, and the price was great. What a great transformation!

Yours looks great!! Don't they make a perfect table... they are a great size and so unique! Good idea with putting flowers in the 'heating thing' that sticks out the side... I didn't know what to do with that thing! :)

I just love your blog. I'm from Mi. also. Owosso actually but I grew up in Ovid. I hadn't found another blogger that was from Mi. It's kind of nice. I knew there had to be some out there.
