Trash to Treasure projects
Allie blogs at This Yellow House, where she had a fan that she wasn’t exactly a fan of. ”I eventually want to replace the fan with a pretty chandelier,” Allie shares, ”but since I don’t have the funds for a new light fixture at the moment, I decided to update the fan we have.”
Over at Posed Perfection, Nici found this rust-covered metal cart at a garage sale. It looks like the type of thing that my elementary school teacher would have used to roll the film projector into the classroom. Remember those days?
Tanya of Twelve 0 Eight has been working on creating a fun family room at her house. This sturdy but dated chair is one of the seating options in the new family room.
Over at Daisy Mae Belle, Melissa shares a project that was the brainchild of her creative eldest daughter, Daisy. ”She was thrilled to pieces when she found this old door at a yard sale,” Melissa says. ”She knew that it would be perfect for her room.” The door was similar to the one pictured, below.
Marcy blogs at Day2Day Supermom. When she spotted a lettuce garden made from gutters on Pinterest, Marcy immediately thought of the old gutters lying out behind her husband’s shop. Instead of lettuce, though, Marcy was craving strawberries!
Over at Lemon Tree Dwelling, Cathy shares that spring took it’s own sweet time to come to her neck of the woods. Anxious for some spring color in her home, she decided to make some of her own, starting with a few branches collected from her yard.
At Shabby Love, Melissa says, “I’m pretty much obsessed with yardsticks and have been collecting and hoarding them for over a year to start using them on projects.” So when a friend passed along this cute little table, Melissa knew exactly what she was going to do to it.
Lately it seems like we’ve enjoyed seeing quite a few makeovers here at Roadkill Rescue that started with Craigslist. This one from Kristen at A Thrifter in Disguise came from a CL ad in the free section that read, “Save this table from going into the dumpster.”
