New Upcycle Ideas 761

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings all! Hope you’re easing  your way into the new year with some fun plans ahead!

I’ve officially created an evening puzzle habit while watching reruns of Schitt’s Creek. Nothing like a good laugh to remove the frustrating aspects of a challenging puzzle. LOL

I”ve yet to start deep cleaning. But I did pick up a new rather expensive toy from Costo yesterday that’s all about cleaning… so I think this one is worthy of a post because oh. my. gosh. You just wait what this thing can do…

 I also have a hankering to start creating again, so I hauled a free dresser home this past week, and parked it in my way so I get going on it! 

Still on my mind is this amazing coffee table I spotted on Facebook marketplace… the top folds out to double the surface space which would come in SO handy for my puzzles, board games or even folding laundry for that matter! I’m still trying to convince my son to help me haul it home… it looks rather heavy. This may require a very large bribe…

I admit I’m still feeling a little slow and lazy, but I’m making an effort to be more productive!

So since most of this week’s features are about fav projects of 2024, here’s one of mine…

Laundry drying rack using a vintage ironing board

 

DIY laundry room drying rack with a vintage ironing board

I am LOVING this drying rack made out of a vintage ironing board since the moment I hung it up back in March. It holds SO much, and offers such a unique vibe to a laundry room if you have the horizontal space!

Perhaps I should create a best-of post after all… It’s rather inspiring to revisit our personal favs!

So until then, let’s visit this week’s upcycled project features from last week’s party in hopes it too inspires you into a good creative mode!

Creative junk journal with twig and twine book binding

 

Butterfly Junk Journal with twig binding by Fresh Vintage By Lisa S

Last week, Lisa shared a roundup of her top visited posts, and this beauty is one of them! This butterfly junk journal complete with twig binding is SO rustically adorable! And productive too, since you can use it for a writing journal, photos, or for saving anything you wish! Check out her other projects too… the watch idea still strikes me as so unique!

Hanging picture frame succulent planter

Stephanie also dove back into her archives to share this super unique plant hanger made from a picture frame! Oh I love this idea! This idea is perfect to inject a little greenery into any space, especially if you use faux succulents… or even air plants for the real thing!
