Recycled and Upcycled Projects for your Home

All last week I was showing you the orphan projects I had made while I was on the hunt for the perfect stool for a feedbag makeover. I could have easily made a stool out of wood, but I was … Continue Reading →
I keep finding these little orphans in the thrift stores that are just begging me to take them home and make them pretty. Monday it was a recipe card holder, last week it was a Thomasville Side Table and last month … Continue Reading →
In August I picked up about a dozen treasures from a nearby flea market that I wanted to makeover or transform. I’ve managed to complete a couple of the projects, but most of my finds are still on my todo list. The … Continue Reading →
On Monday I showed you my wicker table. I had to make a pallet wood top for the table because I had stolen the glass for this project. It all started when a friend of mine messaged me last week and told me … Continue Reading →
Did your tabletop glass break? Do you need an inexpensive replacement? Did someone steal your glass and now you have to replace it? I actually fall into the last category…and that someone is me. I stole my glass. When I … Continue Reading →
This is my swan. A beautiful solid wood Thomasville side table. He is super sturdy with dovetailed joints, shapely legs, rounded edges and beautiful scroll details. He wasn’t always so pretty. When I first came upon him, he was somewhat of an … Continue Reading →
Is it old or is it paint? Well, if it’s coming from me then it is probably layers of paint. I picked up this country cheese box a while ago at a local thrift store. I think what makes it … Continue Reading →
When I first saw this bundle of wood at the local thrift store, I actually thought it was a set of wooden blinds. But looking at it a bit closer, there were no strings, the wood was too thick and … Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, I have another project from my pile of crazy treasures that I picked up from the 40 mile Shenandoah Valley flea market. Last week I showed you the hand truck that I transformed into a coffee table. This week … Continue Reading →
Welcome back. If power tools intimidate you, I have a project just for you; a diy boxwood wreath framed perfectly over top of an old vintage window. No power tools necessary! Like a lot of my projects, I do have a bit of … Continue Reading →
Welcome back and Happy Labor Day Weekend. If you remember my trip to the 40 mile yard crawl a couple of week ago I showed you all my treasures and I promised you I would soon have a great makeover for … Continue Reading →
Earlier in the week I showed you the cute little blue table that I made over for my mother-in-law’s birthday. Well, if she was going to get a new table she was going to need a new lamp. OK, there … Continue Reading →
Last month my mother-in-law celebrated her 84th birthday. In the spring she had a health scare that we were sure she would not be able to shake and that there would be no more birthdays. A combination of diabetes, pneumonia, … Continue Reading →
Welcome back, if you were hoping to see one of my flea market treasures from Monday transformed, you might be a little disappointed with my next project. But if you love pallets like I do then you just might want … Continue Reading →
Two weekends ago I had the chance to return to the Route 11 Yard Crawl, a 40 mile yard sale that extends from Stephen’s City Virginia down to New Market. This is actually the third year that I’ve gone, usually … Continue Reading →
It’s hard to believe that August is half over and since it is the third Friday of the month, that must mean I’m guest posting over at My Repurposed Life. It’s been a while since I’ve shared a recycled or … Continue Reading →
Right around this time last year I showed you the pallet walled garden we had built to wall in our vegetable garden and to keep the deer and groundhogs out. We planted the garden in mid-July, not the best time … Continue Reading →
