Welcome to DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 401
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Hello friends! Mahalo for keeping this party going while I was on my travels over the past while. I’m officially back and ready to roll 1000%!
I have so many fun new things to share with you about my newest adventures. However I’m hungry to get my hands creating again, so I’ll infuse a little of both in the days ahead. From a 560 cat sanctuary to the most beautiful jungle in the world… get ready to book your ticket after seeing what I saw.
It’s actually nice to be on home turf again. My first thought was missing the vivid shades of aqua in the sky and water only to come home to everything GREY… however the sun broke out today bringing a lovely blue sky. Thank goodness! And a good reminder on just how much colours and sunshine truly do enhance our every days.
I went back through the last 3 parties and here are a few fab features… I will be featuring more on Facebook too so stay tuned… I’ve also been dreaming up ways to bring the party to life on Instagram, so I’ll be sharing how to do that soon too!
Vintage ruler Christmas trees by Homeroad
Thank-you Susan, for helping me get into the junk-infused Christmas spirit. Because these little ruler trees are the perfect mix!
Antique wheel and pin leg side table by The Honeycomb Home
Who else NEEDS this gorgeous beast in their life? I love the modern edge the pin legs give the old wheel. Sweet piece!
Buffalo Checked black side table by Organized Clutter
I’m so glad Carlene did this white on black buffalo check combo. I’ve only done the opposite thus far, and LOVE how the black takes presence on this piece. Striking!
Halloween mantel with paper bag garland by So Much Better With Age
This classy Halloween mantel makes me want to back up time and make one too. Totally loving the lined up pumpkins and the GENIUS glow bag garland so much! Make sure you peek in to see how that was made.
Fluffy Pottery Barn inspired footstool by Little Vintage Cottage
If you’ve ever wanted a fuzzy side table, this tutorial is thee one! The before made me smile… I would NEVER have taken a 2nd look at this. I’ve since changed my mind.
Architectural salvage Christmas tree by Pillar Box Blue
Don’t you even dare throw ‘thing away’… attach it to your scrap wood tree instead! Wouldn’t this make a fun, festive key hanging spot by the front entry?
Christmas greenery vase by Organized Clutter
I’ve always been smitten over those stenciled buckets that promised an evergreen branch for a song… and then Carlene performed her magic of mixing stencils to create her own. BINGO.
Repurposed drawer paint storage shelves by Sadie Seasongoods
Craft paints hidden under a table, you are about to be unearthed. This genius use of old drawers turned into paint storage shelves is a total win! So easy to section things off this way too.
