Create a one-of-a-kind, functional piece of art for your home by pairing a translucent scarf with an old window sash. This project has the look of stained glass or other special art glass treatment. Everyone loves windows that are timeless and elegant. “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun!” Even Romeo and Juliet would have appreciated this project!

My downstairs bathroom was top of the list in need of some refreshing—both for me and for the company I’ll be hosting soon. From upcycling an old dresser into a vanity to adding elegant accessories that show personality, if you follow these simple steps and spend a few dollars, your bathroom will look and feel like a million bucks!

A pair of stools is always welcomed for small spaces and as extra seating for guests. Given that Mother’s Day is right around the corner, this cheerful pair makes a delightful gift for your dear Mom and one that she will use often. She’ll also appreciate your thoughtfulness as you show love for Mother Earth, too!

Take your repurposing efforts to new heights by upcycling an old wooden ladder into a unique & useful shelving unit. Why buy a generic, pre-fab piece that comes in a box when you can easily pull together a ladder and boards to make a one-of-a-kind item that looks great in any space?! A ladder is built to hold a person’s weight while they work, so it makes a great and sturdy foundation on which to build and create.

With the warm weather here to stay for a bit, and Mother Nature’s beauty blooming everywhere, we all are wanting to be outside as much as possible. This project transforms my disaster deck into an outdoor oasis with many treasures found at Goodwill. And for next to nothing, you too can give a Spring refresh to your outdoor space.
