New Upcycle Ideas 674
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Greetings! This past week we’ve had rain.But I did manage one day of pressure washing right before it started, so yay me!
I’m just so super eager to get outdoor projects going again in a big way. I have my eye on two pretty nice resin wicker chairs from Home Depot (see HERE, affiliate link) I appear to really really need (but not really), which I just know will inspire other overdue projects! I even landed a gate on the curb that will make the cutest outdoor backdrop, much like I did this one year with a reclaimed wood backing HERE.
So hey, at least my dreams are great! The sun is due to come out next week so fingers crossed I can make some headway with my little bistro seating area plans.
Until then, I did update a few outdoor projects that are worthwhile to check out…
Pallet adirondack chairs
How to make over an adirondack chair, pallet-style!
One is turning a couple of adirondack chairs into pallet-style. I just LOVE the outcome which is pretty astonishing if you check out the before!
20 inexpensive DIY garden shed ideas to enhance your own!
If you’ve ever wanted to make your outdoor shed charming, this post throws together 20 easy upgrades you can make to add instant charm! And I know this post will grow because I just can’t seem to leave my own shed alone!
How to build affordable window box planters
If you love the idea of window box planters on either a shed or your home somewhere, this easy tutorial shares how using just scrap wood! i just love how they enhanced my own shed and can’t wait to fill them up again this summer!
So here’s hoping I also win a draw for free strawberry plants today because THAT will get me building something fun for them and really get this outdoor party started!
Until then, I hope you enjoy the amazing features from last week’s party!
