New Upcycle Ideas 814

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings, friends!

I just had the best experience today…  In December I signed up for a housecleaning giveaway on Instagram and won!!! So two lovely ladies spent 2.5 hours doing what they do best… and apparently much better than me! The experience left me realizing that even if I can’t swing every week, perhaps once a month, so they can tend to some tasks I just never seem to do. You can catch my thoughts on the experience in Instagram stories HERE if you wish!

In other news, I do have a fun project to share today…

Try this file cabinet makeover using paint, stencils and picture frames

 

File cabinet makeover with stencils and picture frames

This past week, I shared a file cabinet makeover that got a totally fresh look thanks to picture frames mimicking molding, paint, stenciling and a cutting board for the top! What was once not the most attractive became one of my favorite pieces! 

I have another cutie to share next week, utilizing a child’s chair I landed on the curb… you just wait!

So what have you upcycled this week, creative friends? Link it all up! To start things up, here’s some fabulous upcycled project features from the last week’s party…

Make crystal hearts using Borax for Valentine’s Day by My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia
