Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Review: Whimsey Box

by

Did you grow up getting some kind of book or magazine monthly? I did and I just L.O.V.E.D it! It was so exciting when you knew it was about the time of the month when it would arrive. Now I can relive the excitement with this super cool WhimseyBox. And so can you! As a mixed-media craft designer the unexpected is so much fun. Kind of like a puzzle, you are given these elements and what can you make with them..hmmmmm.(wheels spin)…well see what I made with one of the super pretty elements from the first WhimseyBox. This first one included Spoonflower fabric, DecoArt Fine Glitter Fabric paint, Martha Stewart/Lion Brand Glitter Eyelash yarn and an Americana Stencil. To see more projects created with these elements pop on over to the Whimsey Project page.  So if you like a monthly surprise of craft supply goodies sign yourself (or someone else??) up for the monthly fun of a WhimseyBox .

Transforming an IKEA Shelf into a Rustic Farmhouse Beauty

Looking to add some rustic charm to your space without breaking the bank? Donna from Funky Junk Interiors has shared a brilliant DIY hack that turns a standard IKEA storage shelf into a stunning farmhouse-style piece.

Donna started with the basic IKEA HENJNE shelving unit, which is functional but lacks character. To infuse it with rustic appeal, she stained the wood to deepen its tone and added vintage baskets and a stenciled crate labeled “Pure Cane Sugar” for a nostalgic touch. This clever combination not only enhanced the shelf’s aesthetic but also increased its storage capacity, making it both beautiful and practical.?

This project is a perfect example of how a little creativity can transform everyday furniture into something special. By incorporating vintage elements and a touch of DIY flair, Donna elevated a simple storage unit into a statement piece that complements various interior styles, from farmhouse to industrial.?

If you’re looking for an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home decor, this IKEA hack is a fantastic option. With just a few materials and some elbow grease, you can create a unique piece that adds character and functionality to your space.?
