Despite what my recent posts might suggest, I am still very much interested in home stuff. Just have a few more self-imposed distractions lately :)
This weekend will be the first in a while that I have some free time. To-do list, I'm looking at you! Will I be practical and get to those unexciting maintanenace projects like touching up scuffed paint or organizing my pantry? NAH! I'd much rather work on something with a more satisfying result. With that in mind, I have a project in my head to reuse an old door we found on the curb a few months ago. It may or not pan out but I'll let you know how it goes.
But with that project at the forefront of my thoughts, I'd thought I'd put the question out to you:

Do you upcycle?
In other words, tweaking something to make it more useful / practical / beautiful / valuable.
You already know Im a fan of reusing something lovely into something practical. Case in point, Big Cat's bed from a old suitcase and art from an old dictionary.
But I am much more enamored with some of the clever projects and products out there. Some of my favorites...
Teacup pendant lights from Domestic Contruction, Button Bouquets from Lil Fish Studio, Vintage clocks turned frames from The Hope Jar, Repurposed door from Fixing it Fancy, Matchholder Office Organizers from Ali Edwards, Fork Easels from Whimsy Love, and Suitcase turned filing cabinets from A Poetic Home.
So what about you - do you have any upcycled projects to share? Add it here - I'd love to get some inspiration for the weekend.
