New Upcycle Ideas 794

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings all!

This past week has been VERY hot. So I decided rather than creating a new project while struggling in the heat, to (gratefully sit still in the cool air conditioning and) update a bunch of outdated but good posts.

One of the things bloggers need to do now and then is to update older posts with current (or should I say better) keywords, improve write-ups so there’s more value to them, etc. They can be great projects! But if no one can find them because I named the keyword as the entire story of a day in my life, no one will find it! Oh, was I ever wordy back then… LOL

So anyway, here’s one which chimes in perfectly with the upcoming fall season!

DIY crate with 2 fall looks

 

Reversible DIY crate with 2 fall looks!

This looks like a cute little DIY rustic crate amble enough to be able to display an abundant bunch of hydrangeas for the perfect late summer / fall vibe. Which I needed for just that!  But there’s more…

The other side of the crate wears another fun theme, so there’s basically 2 looks for the effort of one! I like to call this ‘change my mind decorating’. Visit the post to see the other side, which happens to be my fav! Plus, you’ll learn how to build a realistic looking old crate from scratch!

And seriously, I quite ready for fall to set in. How about you? It’s been a long, hot summer. However I’ll try and embrace the heat for yet another upcoming week, because I know full well when it starts raining, it won’t stop until next summer. LOL

Enough about me! Let’s now check out this week’s fabulous features from last week’s upcycled party, then onto the new linkups!

I’m always drawn to antique looks, and this simple glass bottle turned into an antique clay look certainly does it for me! Even the original stamp got a makeover, which looks so authentic! You will learn a ton in this post.
