PJ 326 – DIY salvaged junk projects
Every Friday, 7 PM through Sunday 11 PM Pacific
Welcome all! Have your beverage of choice in hand? Better gulp it quick… because once you glean over these beauties, you just may be inclined to jump out of your chair and dash for your junk heap!
Or better yet… go get new stuff! Who else is totally as inspired as a curious cat by anything new in the house?
This past week on Funky Junk…
* This past week, I started a brave journal. Yikes. These are personal events from the past week. Deeper. More real. Ever curious what’s really going on in someone’s head? Perhaps you can relate…
* Encouraged by a reader’s visit, I did a little revamping of the house to pretty things up. This old signs coat hook area was first hit, and I love it even more now!
P.S. need a push to create? Invite a friend over first… heh.
So let’s visit some highlights from last week’s linkup…
Recycled K Cup Succulent Pots, by Home Work
Save those k cups and packing paper… you can have something much more fun! Along with your hot cup of coffee of course…
Beautifully organically rustically cool. Wouldn’t these make great hostess gifts?
Wine Rack to Ribbon “Cradle”, by Sadie Seasongoods
Then after you’ve moved on to a glass of finished wine, you can do this to your ribbon! How clever!
Love how compact it is, and easy to carry around.
DIY sea glass jars, by Home Work
If you love sea glass as much as I do, maybe it’s time to turn our bottles into it too, like these lovely renditions. Oh my goodness… the colour!
Upcycled window herb planter by Pillar Box Blue
Whether flowers or herbs is your thing, setting them in front of a lettered up old window makes such a quaint statement!
Who knew plants could become even more beautiful in just the right setting?
Vintage inspired Soda Can Labels, by Scavenger Chic <— click to pin
This clever hack will have you knocking back soda / pop in no time! Wait till you see these distressed and placed on a project… very cool!
Upcycled window flower box, by Organized Clutter
If your home isn’t one that suits outdoor window boxes, perhaps this is the exact fix you are looking for. Make your own, anywhere you wish, as live gorgeous wall art!
Wouldn’t this be pretty on the patio or near the front door? Or a GARDEN SHED…. my brain just popped. Making one!
Metal Wall Decor by Life on Kaydeross Creek
She had me at distressed metal. But turning it into art just upped the importance level of this beautiful piece!
Wouldn’t a large version make a wonderful magnetic board for an office? Swoon…
Old signs wall hooks in a hallway, by Funky Junk Interiors
With a visit from a blog reader, I was encouraged to do a little revamping. And this was the result in our upstairs hallway… no more coats on the chairs! I hope…
So, what did you make this past week?

Thank you for picking my window as one of your highlights. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog this week and I’m now looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been up to.
