New Upcycle Ideas 826
Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific
Greetings, friends!
Thanks to our rainy weather this week, I had to buckle down and try to get two outdoor projects done within due dates when the rain quit for like an hour. Soooo I have nothing new and fun to show this week because I just ran out of time.
The weather promises to be really nice this weekend though, so I hope to play in the garden in THIS area for a fresh, new look!
In other fun news, I received a new shipment of two brand new products being brought out by Fusion Mineral Paint, one called Chromaflex (get 10% off this affiliate link HERE) that I cannot wait to share with you! I’ve already been to the thrift to find the perfect items to test on! I also have some reading to do before I share a new read. More soon!
Ok, so let’s play! What have you upcycled lately, creative friends? Link it up! To start things off, here’s some fabulous upcycled project features from the last week’s party…

Vintage cheese box coat hooks panel
Upcycled cheesebox hooks by Lora Bloomquist
When Lora came across a bundle of flat cheese box panels, she wheeled and dealed until she got a screamin’ deal, which resulted in this gorgeous coat hooks panel! Isn’t it the sweetest?! I just LOVE the art from the boxes, plus it’s now so much more useful! I’d have to make a zillion of these because I’d want them all over the house! Go see her other version she made for her daughter… both are SO beautiful!
Stacked terra cotta pot garden totems
Terra cotta pot garden totems by Homeward Found Decor
You KNOW summer is fast approaching when Deb brings out her terra cotta pot projects, and this is just too cool! Recently inspired by garden totems, she created her own version using stacked terra cotta pots for instant and unique garden art! These garden totems bring interest and art to any garden space that could use a little headturner moment… LOVE it!
Mushroom plant pokes from vintage shoe stretchers
Vintage shoe stretcher mushroom plant pokes by Little Vintage Cottage
Have you ever taken a glance at shoe stretchers of all things? I don’t think I’ve ever spotted any in the wild! But luckily, Tania did and got super creative, making mushroom art with hers! Oh my word. Go see all the different tones she tried… so cool how the spots are painted so randomly. Truly adorable idea that would perk up any plant!
Collage frames into geometric abstract art
Geometric Abstract Art with collage frames by Sadie Seasongoods
Ever see those picture frame collages all joined together? Sarah has come across lots, but she finally pushed GO on this unique twist of Piet Mondrian style geometric abstract art! Such a simple concept with strong, stunning results! This post leads to 9 other thrift store flips by other creative friends as well so it’s very worth your visit!
DIY denim bluebell flowers

Thanks for the feature, Donna! Yes, our Spring weather has been fickle, too:( Hard to get things done outside.
Thank you so much for including my terra cotta pot totems in your feature, Donna! I may not have a huge collection of them anymore, but it’s fun to find new ways to use these every spring & summer (and sometimes for Christmas!).
PS: I just discovered that I have never linked up my FAVORITE ‘junk makeover’ project to one of your parties – so even though it’s from 2012, I’m adding it now! Hope that’s ok 😉
Hi Donna, thank you so much for including my shoe stretcher plant pokes!
