Organized Clutter

Maybe you remember these coasters from last fall.  I found them at our local Menards.  They are still available online  HERE. I ended up creating a fall garland or banner with the coasters  HERE.

I found this unfinished, rectangular, hinged wooden box at Goodwill recently. I paid $5.99.  It was stamped with Carpenters Union, thecountrycarpenter.org.  See my box upcycle, along with 8 more makeover projects from the Thrift Store Decor Team below!

This is a little set of heavy ceramic or glass black bookends from the Target Bullseye Playground .   Everything is $5 or less in the Bullseye Playground bins. 

This little stool was a local thrift shop find!  It had a Hobby Lobby sticker on the bottom, and it's still available at Hobby Lobby online   HERE. I paid just $4 for it. It was a great deal!

  This project started out with this reddish colored barn wood framed primitive country sign. I purchased it thrifting for $3.  The sign part is painted on a thin piece of board.

These mini  Dollar Tree  boxes were upcycled in early 2021 with paint and Dollar Tree stencils. I actually shared several Dollar Tree/Dollar General upcycle projects in 2021, partially due to the pandemic.  I attended far fewer garage sales and paid less visits to thrift shops as well, but luckily Dollar Tree expanded its craft area.   Click on the bold links under the photos for full DIY tutorials.

After many years of out of control ground covers along the west wall of my house, my husband and I re-landscaped the area with weed block and river rock.  See many more photos of this project before, during and after  HERE.

  My Christmas decorating projects began in October with these  garage sale bottles  in a metal container from a garage sale. The bottles were painted with Dixie Belle Paint and decorated with Redesign With Prima Christmas decor transfers. Links to all the projects are under the photos.

This little cutting board was found at Goodwill.   I think it was hand painted with a Betsey Clark style character , popular with Hallmark back in the day.

This is a Goodwill find. The tag on the back indicates it was originally from Hobby Lobby.  It's a framed sheet of faux galvanized metal on a backer board.  I gave it a makeover!
