Stenciled Pumpkin Spice Tray for the Fall

Another piece headed back to the thrift store... I can only keep so much so when I don't use something for a long time, I send it back. My own recycling program of sorts! 

I remember this design from my grandmother's house when I was a kid. She had coasters made from the same pattern. I think that's why I brought it home in the first place. This tray however, was a mess. Scratched and chipped, it was ready for a make-over. 

Repurposed Farmhouse Style Chair Shelf

A while back I made a key organizer from an old chair my daughter was throwing away. 
Many people asked me what I did with the rest of the chair. If you know me, which I guess is why so many asked, I saved those repurposed chair parts for another project. 

Repurposed Badminton Racket Pumpkin

This project is a little bit repurposed, a little bit beach clean-up, and a whole lot of pumpkin! 
Here was the beach clean-up part. This is just some of the drift wood and beach junk I found while on vacation this summer. You can read all about the Hanging Driftwood Fish and the Driftwood Flower Vase I made with the driftwood I found. 

Upcycled Rustic Teal Pumpkin Tray

I was cleaning out and throwing away when I ran across a footed tray I found at the thrift store a while back.

It wore out it's welcome at my house, things come and go very often. Often my things are shared with my daughters that have houses end up back here again. I decided before I sent it back to the thrift store I'd try to up-cycle it for the fall. 

Stenciled Burlap Projects for the Fall

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a great online company that supplied me with burlap for a few projects I had in mind for the fall. 


This is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own.  When I first opened my box of goodies I was thrilled with the quality of the burlap, it's certainly not the cheap stuff, it is good quality burlap. 

Reclaimed Wood White Pallet Pumpkin

My favorite kind of pumpkin is a white one. I love neutral colored and white pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. 


Today I'm turning reclaimed pallet wood into a stenciled white pumpkin. Please visit all the bold links in this post to see the projects and products mentioned. 

Easy Hoop Wreath for the Fall

This easy to make hoop wreath is a knock off of my own Spring Wreath I made earlier this year. 

The 12" embroidery hoop came in 2 pieces. One of the pieces became this Quick and Easy Embroidery Hoop Spring Wreath. The other part was hanging in my basement. 

DIY Stenciled Pallet Coasters

My daughter and I saw these cute coasters in Marshalls and I knew in a minute they'd be my next DIY project! 
I knew I had some small pieces of wood from an old game in the workshop that would be perfect.
