1980s parquet tables with glass insets run rampant on Craigslist. I scored one for cheap and transformed it into an amazing DIY Lego table for my son. The cool part is the baseplates are removable so you can move your Lego creations to another location.
I love finding news uses for items people normally throw away. Wood wine crates have endless possibilities for the DIYer. A little paint or stain and you have a new-to-you organization system. This month, Destiny from A Place for Us, decided to finally tackle that old wine crate in her garage and turn it into an art caddy for her kiddos.
Do you have big plans for Easter this weekend? I have family coming from Chicago and Michigan so my house should have lots of chaos, noise, fun in it! I hope you are excited as I am. Today I thought I would show you some of my past Easter projects.
If you have read my Sawdust Diary from last week you know I am coming terribly close to finishing the built-in cabinets in my new my studio with my DIY coach Sandra from Sawdust Girl. She has been so amazing coaching me through each step of the way, not without some snags of course.
I am not a huge seasonal decorator. Are you? I don’t have a lots of tchotchkes and other décor to just change it up every season. I am pretty simplistic in my approach to decorating. I usually decorate maybe one entryway table seasonally and maybe add in a few new pillows since I love making them. I decided to create a large DIY “LOVE” art for Valentine’s day. However, I used untraditional Valentine’s day colors so I can display it year round. It looks like a mini pallet.
Take some of those Legos, that are surely taking over your house, and make them into a lamp for a boy’s bedroom. Any Lego loving boy would adore this lamp. This would also be a great craft to engage your children in. Boys and girls alike love building with Legos.
Birthdays can be expensive. Finding cheap birthday decorations that are cute can often be challenging. I created a wreath made out of the dollar store streamers and a STYROFOAM™ Brand Wreath. The perfect part about this wreath is that you can remove the steamers after the party and use your wreath form again. Can you guess the theme of my daughter’s party by the colors of the wreath? Bonus points for the those that are right.
