Greetings all!

Are you also feeling the dog days of summer upon you? Or are you still full of zest getting things done? I’m sitting right in the middle. One moment I want to do NOTHING with a coffee in hand lounged out on the shady patio, and the next, I’m cranking out another great idea!

This past week I had a scare that I may have lost my beloved inflatable hot tub. I was getting error message on the control that spelled out a lot of big possible issues. Turns out it was an old filter that shut everything down. I’m SO glad I kept pursuing the causes because I was about to drain the thing and toss it! Over a $10 filter. Egads. I have an all-new appreciation for this water toy these days.

Crate paint storage cabinet from a dresser

 

Upcycled Ikea dresser to a crate paint storage cabinet by Funky Junk Interiors

However I have been writing up a post I couldn’t get done before today which I’ll share next week… I’m rather a fan of out-of-the-box dresser makeovers, like THIS dresser turned paint storage cabinet. Next week I’ll share another unique way to revamp a dresser into something that looks and stores in a totally different direction! You’ll be doing 2nd takes to any curbside dresser after this one…

Well, now that we’re caught up, let’s party with more! Thanks so much for bringing such inspiring projects over, and spreading the love by checking them out!

Here’s some fabulous upcycled projects from last week’s party, then onto the new linkups at the bottom of the post!

Scrap fabric tassels

If you have some scrap fabric handy, here’s how you can make an adorable scrap fabric tassel to use as a unique keychain or custom bag charm! Love the idea of adding these to throw pillow corners too! Maybe my bike handles need some! I mean, who can resist the homespun charm of those torn scrappy edges?! Such a clever idea!

3D faux flower art on a canvas

 

Dollar tree canvas flower art by Steph Creates Things DIY Home and Crafts

If you’ve always dreamed of painting on canvas, here’s a fun idea to try… Pick up a dollar store canvas and a few pretty faux flowers to create this lovely canvas flower art! It’s sort of like bringing a canvas into 3D mode. Now my mind is racing around with a tree branch against a blue hazy sky… so neat! What can you vision?
