Trash to Treasure projects
Instead of living with a bunch of blank walls staring at her, Ashley from Design Build Love has found ways to create her own wall art for much less than store-bought prices. For one such project, Ashley upcycled a pile of scrap wood that had been sitting in her garage.
Debbie from Painted Therapy wanted a way to hang her curtains without spending a fortune on curtain rods. Since she doesn’t even pull her curtains closed, Debbie found that wooden towel bars were perfect for the job and could easily be customized to her purpose.
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.

An old sawhorse leg and mini loaf pans may seem like a strange combination. However, when Susan from Homeroad got her hands on them she had the vision to turn the pieces into a beautifully rustic crate. Susan added some flair to her sawhorse-turned-crate by fitting metal cuttings from the loaf pans onto the corners. {…Read More…}
Jessika from Lookie What Jeff Did had an old worn out table that looks similar to one you have seen in many homes. Removing the legs, for what I hope will be a future project, they took the table top and made it into a headboard. I never would have thought of that. Obviously they {…Read More…}
