This is such a fun post. As always, I love seeing your ideas, and seeing what everyone else is doing is great. I posted our mirror project (but it sure is hard to photograph mirrors....). We drag furniture out of other people's trash--because it's amazing what people throw out! Those are my favorite items around the house!

I have an item sitting in the garage awaiting my attention. It will be put in my husband's office, which I showed a picture of today in my post. (Currently packed with my discarded, haven't yet figured out what to do with items of home decor.) Don't have anything to add to your party, but it will definitely be an 'upcycle'!!

Your old dictionary up-cycle is still one of my favorite projects of yours! You're so creative!!!

My latest favorite up-cycle is an old backless frame that I spraypainted, then added in a piece of corkboard covered in burlap. I then made some classy thumbtacks by gluing vintage buttons onto standard brass tacks! (I added to MckLinky!)

I love upcycling, and am currently in the middle of a few furniture rehab projects! I absolutely love those little teacup lights though - amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with the door...

I have an old hard suitcase we picked up for free, and thought, hey I could make a dog bed out of it. Turns out it's in great condition though (just needed a cleaning) so we're planning on making it our suitcase designated for road trips!
