This is a repost but I loved all these cool ideas of using junk! Hope you enjoy and are inspired to look at junk differently.
I found all these funky style tips on BHG…I was quite pleasantly surprised with these very creative ideas.
This is an old chair they found at the curb…they spray painted it and added a new fabric seat and added some press one letters to the back and you instant style!
For Pennies no less!
How about this fun playroom for the kids! The green little sofa is actually two crib mattresses stacked on top of each other and covered in a funky green fabric. I wish I had seen this idea years ago!!
Okay…this is really kind of fun! Love the idea of using $1.00 store salt a pepper shakers, toothbrush holders and sugar shakers for flower vases! Use flowers from the grocery store or your own backyard!
Have an old drawer to a dresser that does not function anymore? Turn it into a magnetic board. BHG put a piece of galvanized metal inside the drawer and then glued some beautiful scrapbook paper over the metal and hung it on the wall for a new spin on a magnetic board.
Makeover a redwood planter box by adding legs and some trim pieces and painting it a bright fun color!
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
Those ideas are super cool! I love the blue chair!
Isn't junk just great? LOL!! These are some great ideas, but my fav's are the blue chair (love the color) and the green crib mattress. Already have one, now just need another and the kids can play away!!
What a great post, love all the ideas! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such nice coments. I also visited your brother's site and my heart and prayers go out to your family. Colon cancer is something that has played a part in my family with my father, aunt and cousins and now me. I will pray for your brother daily. Bristol
