New Upcycle Ideas 818
Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific
Greetings, friends!
My goodness… another week of doing so much nothing! From car shopping to landing a new freebie rug for my downstairs office (resulting in cleaning all the other carpets too of course) to a kitty with some needs, it’s been a week. But among the more productive, I even got a project up to share!
Flip an old window into a wood coffee table with storage
Upcycled chair wall shelf with burlap coffee sign
This past week I shared how I flipped a child’s chair into a wall shelf styled two different ways! It’s definitely a unique way to achieve a shelf with true structure without building a thing! Isn’t it super fun and quirky?!
This past week I also created a new helper in my new office upstairs using an old ladder! So I’m hoping to shoot that shortly so I can share it next week!
Aside from that, we’ve had a super cold snap lately but without snow. How are we so lucky to avoid the white stuff this year, I have no idea, but I’m all for it since my son wants to be on the road 24/7. I hope this no-snow trend continues right into spring, thank you very much! No shoveling certainly works for me.
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…
