Trash to Treasure projects
Titia of Crafty in Canada was on her way to her favorite junk store when she spotted a pile of furniture on the side of the road. Amongst the pieces was this painted dresser. Titia says, “I just knew there was something special under all that ugly ewwwy paint.”
Jeanette from Homa Style found this wooden chair back while rummaging around the dump. I really love the unique shape! After shuffling the chair back around the garage for sometime, Jeanette decided it was time to actually do something with it.
Looking for a unique adornment for your front door this fall? Check out this hanging succulent garden that Kristi at Addicted 2 Decorating made from pistachio shells! And, yes, you heard right – pistachio shells!
Jenna of SAS Interiors had been wanting to try her hand at reupholstering for awhile but was held back by her own uncertainty of whether or not she could actually take on the task. After gaining the confidence she needed, Jenna dove in and found her guinea pig at a thrift store.
Nancy at Life Designed spotted this sad-looking bench sitting on her sister’s deck. It had been left behind by the previous owners and banished to a corner of the deck. Nancy saw it as a great opportunity to practice her DIY savvy and fix up the bench for her sister and brother-in-law.
Anne from Because Home Should Be Great rescued this buffet from the parking lot of her favorite non-profit thrift store. The piece was dingy, peeling, spider-infested, and sitting there all by its lonesome, but Anne loved it the minute she laid eyes on it.
One of the favorite rescues in my own home has been my headboard from an old door. Dani of Seaside Shelter also created a headboard from this wood door with peeling paint that she found.
All of you junkers are probably no stranger to the fabulous recreations of Donna from Funky Junk Interiors. She had this white chandelier that had been taking up residence in her garage for two years.
