New Upcycle Ideas to Make 638
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Visit 20+ New Upcycle Ideas to Make 638 – Wine shed, vintage ruler frame, book of curiosities, garden path, stenciled table, plus!
Well friends, as promised last week, the heat wave hit and it continues on along BC’s west coast… including nearly all across Canada! So that fact alone has held me off on creating new projects. Instead, I happily rediscovered all the benefits of summer, such as a nearby lake, bike rides at night, and watching movies in one air conditioned room.
Egads it’s hot. How’s your weather? How do you manage to stay cool during hot spells?
Wish my newest DIY was central air, however that’s beyond my capabilities. I shall continue to save to get that implemented one day soon. I hope!
So it seemed like a good week to offer up a long overdue post I’ve been wanting to share forever, that involves my most fav thing to pick up from thrift stores…
Easy TV tray makeovers by Funky Junk Interiors
And that would be TV trays! This is my #1 item I always search for because they are so fun to makeover! Have one sitting around? Here’s a good scroll of what you CAN do with it!
So let’s hope our heat breaks next week so I can join in and create new things like this week’s upcycle ideas from last week’s party…

Donna,
Thank you so much for sharing my garden project.
We are so happy with the way it looks, and we have noticed we are saving a lot of water and our water bill has decreased.
More veggies and less lawn is the way to go-
XO Lisa S 🙂
Hi Donna, thank you so much for including the first few pages of my altered book of curiosities! I’m so glad you can appreciate it too, this kind of art is not for everyone! ;o)

Love the trays. I did one for the grandkids, it was a checker board. That way when they were not playing, they could fold it up. TOTALLY love the walk way. Years ago my mom had flagstone laid for a pathway, with a little space between the stones. However, since I bought the house I have noticed that between the moles and the rain, my stones are moving and coming up. Thinking now after seeing this that I should take them up and do this with the rocks around the flagstone. Thanks for sharing.
