6 Smart and Easy Upcycles (Friday Features + Link Party)

Smart & Easy Upcycles @Remodelaholic

We love upcycles (and that’s actually what this blog started out as, documenting turning something old into something new!). There’s something so fun in seeing potential in pretty much everything — that just needs legs and paint, this would be perfect for a light fixture, and that old thing just needs some creative hanging and tweaking! We picked out 6 of our favorite old-is-new upcycle projects from the party — check them out and share your projects (old, new, or in between) at the party below!

Creative and Easy Upcycle Projects

Our creative partygoes gave new life to

an old shutter (White Tulip Designs)

old shutter repurposed into jewelry holder White Tulip Designs

humble but oh-so-useful paint stir sticks (Mylove2create)

easy chalkboard frames made from paint sticks

old drawers (Refresh Living) — I love this so much! We shared drawer shelves here, but a different drawer can have a totally different look and style!

old door into decor/organizer (Character and Charm)

trash cans (Little Brags)

upcycled vintage trash can large outdoor planters Little Brags

and an old fan (Redo It Yourself Inspirations) — who would have though “mail holder”??

YOUR TURN! Link up and show off below.
