Trash to Treasure projects
It’s a familiar sight for the neighbors of KariAnne from Thistlewood Farm to see her bumping along in her beat-up pick-up truck with her latest find stashed in the back. KariAnne discovers all kinds of treasures in her country home, including this 40-pane window.
Cherryl from Dillon’s Digital Designs was driving along on her way to work when she passed this little metal cart sitting on the side of the road. It was a bit bent in places, but still good for the taking. Especially for free!
On a regular evening walk around her neighborhood, Karah from The Space Between was inspired by her neighbor’s yard debris to make some fall décor – Caribbean style. With a bit of creativity, Karah turned this dead palm leaf into a unique pumpkin.
A glass door from a china cabinet, kitchen cabinet doors, legs from a crib… that’s how this cabinet from Melissa of Shabby Love started out! Before paint you can easily identify all the random parts that Melissa and her husband used to construct their “Frankenstein cabinet.”
Reeves from The Weathered Door is always on the hunt for a good project. While at a garage sale she came across this beat up, weathered table sitting apart from the sale items. Reeves just HAD to ask about it, and it’s a good thing she did because the owner planned on getting rid of the table and said Reeves could have it.
Jeanette from Homa Style is always on a mission to find creative ways to repurpose items instead of trashing them, and, let me tell ya, the girl has a definite knack for it! It was a relatively simple process for Jeanette to transform this old kitchen drawer into a pretty tray.
I am a big fan of outside-the-box thinking, which is why I always love Gail’s projects at My Repurposed Life. Gail looks at one thing and sees something else, and I simply love that! For this project, Gail started with this SOLID front door.
Karen from Somewhat Quirky Design found this headboard in a pile of furniture a couple of blocks from her house and rescued it to refab for her daughter’s bedroom. Solid wood, immaculate condition, a gorgeous curved design… are you drooling yet?
