New Upcycle Ideas 817

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings, friends!

Whadda week of cleaning, decorating and new projects! It’s been a good productive one.

I’m currently trialing out a new office, as I’m attempting to clean up my original blog office situated in my dining room. I do love it there, but the clutter is always in sight and sometimes it just gets out of hand. So I’m trying something new, and I’m liking the results so far! In fact, I’ve already whipped up a new project for it, so you KNOW you’re gonna see it soon!

In other news, I was also part of a very fun event of thrift store makeovers this past week!

Flip an old window into a wood coffee table with storage

 

DIY window coffee table with storage

My own offering was to flip an old window into a wood coffee table with storage! I’m really loving the new vibe it gives my living room, like it’s become ‘more me’. Plus, the showcase is the BEST! Come on over and peek inside…

This post also leads to 8 other super fab thrift store makeovers HERE, so be sure to see them all at the bottom of my post!

What a massive dose of inspiration. But we aren’t done quite yet! What have you upcycled this week, creative friends? Link it up! To start things up, here’s some fabulous upcycled project features from the last week’s party…

Short on picture frames for a pretty picture you may have on hand? Look no further than either a flattish tobacco basket! Ohhh my word, I way prefer this rustic vibe over a standard picture frame! What an eye popping effect, don’t you think?!

Wood slice chicks for spring decor, anyone? How utterly adorable are these two cutie pies?! Love the live edges of the wood slices, giving this project an extra special homespun touch! Find out the creative way those ‘feathers’ were made… genius!

Assemble this beautiful Valentine’s journal with a dollar store candy box

 

Valentine candy box journal by Fresh Vintage by Lisa S

What happens when you team up a dollar store candy box and a few vintage inspired Valentine’s Day cards? Well, in Lisa’s creative hands, it flipped into the cutest journal, filled with pages, cards, stickers, or anything else you’d like to add! What a treasure trove! And such a creative way to hang onto and display keepsake cards! Inside is a must-peek!

Mount pretty placemats to create beautiful laundry room hookup covers

 

A pretty and easy way to cover laundry room hookups by Sonata Home Design

I followed this project completely wide-eyed because I am in the same situation! My laundry room hookups are in full view, which is not a great thing! Well, here’s quite obviously the fix of covering those hookups while still offering complete access to them, thanks to a tension bar and a few placemats! What?! I can do that in a quick afternoon… say hello to my next project that only took 20 years to accomplish… soon! Very, very soon!
