Welcome to DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 470
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Happy Friday!
I’m officially in love with Fridays. I started something new, and that’s treating myself to a small Hawaiian pizza.
Should I be off carbs? Yes. And for the most part I am. But since I started biking the trails daily again, I’m allowing this small indulgence! Because I just want to. I never use to order pizza unless my son came for a visit. So, yay me! I think. 😀
Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring from the trails
Speaking of biking, I took to the trails yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to spot spring! We basically went from winter to early summer overnight, and this ride showcases the last fragments of the snow, then two days later, daffodils and some green grass! I’ve yet to see a season turn over so quickly!
It’s been kind of a brain freeze messy week for me. I started a bunch of projects which I couldn’t finish, then it just spun into other attempts with no endings at all. Some of that has been due to loose planning and even taking off with a fantastic girlfriend shopping trip to Hobby Lobby!
I think my loss of focus is telling me it’s time for a trip… which I’m currently looking into. Hopefully I can report some progress in THAT area soon at least! 😀
Back to you? Here’s one pretty sweet collection of projects I fell hard for from last weekend’s party…
Antique drawer sewing display by Adirondack Girl At Heart
Just as I’m setting up my own sewing room, this beauty came into my vision. By golly, I’m going to look for a cute antique drawer so I can do something similar! Lovely way to honour antique sewing accessories, isn’t it?
Decoupage newspaper Laundry sign by Homeroad
How in the world was this done you ask? It’s not how you may think! I love this post and shows a super unique way to achieve a special effect on letters! Full stencil details are inside this post.
Wire dress wall art by A Crafty Mix
I don’t even have the words to express how incredibly creative and adorable this branch hung wire dress is. DECADENT! I love that it adds interest without darkening a room.
DIY yarn wall hanging by Songbird
Have you noticed boho and yarn and macrame hangings are all back? This incredible project showcases a few cheats along the way to get this look! And it’s a stunner!
How to paint a faux chocolate bunny by Fresh Vintage By Lisa S
Good news… these bunnies are totally calorie-free! Bad news… it’s all faux. But for all the right reasons. Goodness! I may have to grab a chocolate bar with tonite’s pizza… don’t they look delicious?
Light fixture flower planter by Birdz Of A Feather
Stop right there if you’re ditching some old light fixtures! This spring-infused planter is an epic idea!
Stenciled plywood garden sign by A Vintage Green
This lovely fresh and vibrant Garden sign is a perfect example of how to make a sign that doesn’t need any speciality wood just-so… click through to see how to get this look easily! Stencil details are inside this post.

Happy Spring ! Happy Friday!
Thank you for hosting another amazing party.
I appreciate you so much. Thank you for sharing my faux chocolate
bunnies….sorry they do make you want chocolate though.
Enjoy pizza night. I look forward to next weeks party.
Have a great week, xo Lisa S
Thanks Donna for including my Garden Sign in your features this week. I LOVE your stencils and I am so happy you are designing more.
Thank you for your 470th DIY Salvaged Junk Projects, always appreciated.
The link up takes a bit of guessing and fiddling around but it did work. I just kept clicking and backing out etc. until finally that ‘spinning line/circlel’ appeared and finally my blog pictures showed up and I could pick one. Whew.

Thanks Donna for hosting! I am in love with the wire dress! Amazing!
Thank you for hosting the party. Have a great weekend.
So fun to see signs of spring here! I’m hopefully banishing the sleds, skis and brown roping and wreath today! Need to see a blank slate outside, so spring can sprout up! Thanks for hosting, Donna!
LOVE every single one of your features this week but Michelle’s adorable wire dress form has my heart skipping a beat ? Happy Spring ?
Donna,
Love the wire dress. Wonder how she makes the flowers at the bottom of the dress. Could add a stem and put them in the flower bed?
Thanks SO much Donna for including my light fixture planter this week! It’s exciting to see signs of Spring sprouting up. I’m so with you on craving chocolate after seeing those bunnies 🙂
Thanks so much for the kind feature of my sewing notions display, Donna–much appreciated!
Thank you for hosting this party! I’m a new reader and absolutely in love with your blog!
xoxo from Germany!
Welcome Nele! Thanks for your visit! There sure is loads of charming projects to enjoy on these party weekends!
Thanks so much for the feature Donna and your beautiful words. For so many years you’ve been my inspiration and it still feels a little surreal when one of our creations are featured on Funky Junk Interiors. Happy Spring
Oh my goodness…. that project Michelle, it was off the creative Richter scale! So charming, and then there’s that branch hanger… I mean, seriously…
