DIY Salvaged Junk Projects 565

Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
The promise of spring is attempting to arrive! Or so I tell myself whenever the sun peeks over the mountain. I’m craving the outdoors so much, I’ve been carting my AM coffee to my freshly painted downstairs photo studio to allow whatever sun there is to fully shine all over me. It feels so uplifting!
My productivity wasn’t as high as I would have loved this week, but I have been working on the computer designing new stencils, and I did manage to hang some new sheet curtains in the photo studio which I’ll share more about next week!
But my biggest hiccup of the week was an unexpected house that came up for sale. Working through the ‘is this the one?’ really threw a wrench into everyday living! But as it stands, all the plans fell through and I am relieved! My house is SO not ready to sell, so all this served as quite an eye opener on what needs to be done and what I’m actually looking for should there be a next time.
I did manage to get one project posted last week though…
Rustic Fresh Coffee appliance garage by Funky Junk Interiors
During Christmas I created a Hot Cocoa appliance garage that was due for an everyday update! And here it is, now proudly celebrating my beloved coffee while hiding all my coffee gear at the same time! Love this thing, and it’s easy to make!
So while I work towards getting back to the land of the living with more creative projects, let’s revisit some of these super cool highlights from last week’s upcycled projects post…

If you’re still stuck in frozen land somewhere, here’s a lovely way to decorate your front porch… with frozen flowers! Isn’t this lovely?
