I came across this awesome upcycle the other day, where someone had gutted an old tube TV, and turned it into a display for their bar. As I was looking into similar upcycles, I found that people have gotten REEALLLLY creative when it comes to displaying and serving...
**This post may contain affiliate links. When we bought our house 2 years ago, I absolutely fell in love with the kitchen – or I should say, the potential of the kitchen. First, its a very large kitchen – lots of open space, and lots of natural...
I recently picked up 3 large, carved wood frames from garage sales. You know the kind, beautiful ornate borders and created for canvas prints (no glass or backing). I got 2 – 16×20 frames and 1 20×26 frame, for $25 total – not bad, eh? Now...
Got another pretty cool upcycle to share with you all today, courtesy of Sprouts and Stuff. She found this gem of a standing candelabra, at a thrift store, with the “hefty” price tag of $4.95. I agree with her, I’m not sure I would have seen the...
Copper Pipe has a gorgeous industrial look to it – I have seen a few totally stunning projects using copper pipes lately, so I decided to put together a list of some of the best DIY projects using copper piping. One thing to note, a few of the projects use...
Architectural salvage is one of the my absolute favorites, when it comes to home decor and decorating. I love bringing something that is old and perhaps a bit industrial, and repurposing it with an air of elegance. Architectural salvage can be hard to come by,...
Yesterday we polled our facebook audience, to get suggestions on what you could do with an old tripod. Check out that conversation here… Many of you were on the right track, for the tripod upcycle project we are featuring today! Cristina over at...
My Facebook Fans are pretty awesome, and smart, and let me tell you, CREATIVE!!! (If you haven’t joined up yet, you can check it out here!) I posted a little challenge today, offering up this photo of 2 large tractor rims, and asked people to post their best...
Have you heard of a crank table before? I haven’t, until I ran across this project by DIO home improvements. How gorgeous is this table, and you’d never know it was done for less than $30. Whats even crazier, is that the authentic vintage versions of these...
Who doesn’t have an old bike of some sort laying around, that doesn’t EVER get ridden? (Well except for those of you anti-hoarders – you know who you are, the trash is your best friend, and your house is immaculate and spotless and without an ounce...
I am completely in love with this headboard, this is going to be my next project, for sure. I’m off to craigslist to find myself a cool 6 panel door, and I already have some fabric to use (very similar to the one shown here). The tutorial is so easy –...
Sometimes its the simplest ideas, that are the most genius. My husband and I charge our cell phones on our kitchen counter, and we have an ugly mess of cables that litter up the counter tops. I never would have thought of taking an old bottle and turning it into a...
Picked up this vintage, victorian side table on Craiglist over the weekend for only 20 bucks!! Its solid wood, got great lines – but that dated oak coloring isn’t doing much for it. So I spruced it up with some glossy black spray paint. I used a cool...
My husbands 39th birthday was a few weeks ago, and I wanted to show off his awesome new toy. I got it in my head that I was going to get him one of those cool kegerator conversions from an old fridge as a gift for his birthday. I’d like to think I’m...
