DIY Repurposed and Upcycled Projects for your Yard and Garden

“Ensconced” Organization for Gardening Tools

April 13, 2017 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 64 Comments

A couple of years ago, I made a simple repurposed clip board for our gardening/work gloves– both of us had a bad habit of flinging them off in the garage and struggling to find them the next time we needed to wear them! And let me tell you- having the clip board has been a life (and glove) saver! So, when I found these outdated bucket sconces at a thrift store, I decided make something similar for my gardening hand tools.Read more ›

March 30, 2017 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 59 Comments

Real Life Confession- I love the idea of gardening more than I love actual gardening. Can anyone else relate? BUT. But…I still enjoy having planted herbs around as the weather warms up! So, this year, I’ve decided to do a series of upcycling ideas for an herb garden. And today is Part 1: Repurposing a muffin pan as a propagation tray or plant starting pots! Read more ›

Making a DIY Birdhouse from a Vintage Bank that Looks Like a Log Cabin

March 2, 2017 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 56 Comments

It’s been a while since I created a bird project for our yard…so I decided to combine this year’s Log Cabin theme with an outdoors project. Since we always have nesting wrens and chickadees at our house, I had a birdhouse idea that I just couldn’t shake.Read more ›

Upcycling Idea: Garden Stepping Stones with Outdoor Key Hider

August 25, 2016 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 68 Comments

Getting locked out of the house is not fun at all, is it? It happened to me once, and that was all it took. From that day forward, I decided to make sure it would never happen again. And since I love garden stepping stones as garden decor, I decided to combine a mosaic stepping stone with an outdoor key hider or hide-a-key rock. And I’d upcycle a couple of items to make my vision come to life!Read more ›

Outdoor Wall Decor for a Tool Shed with Hex Signs

July 21, 2016 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 28 Comments

Funny story…so, while I was out thrifting one day, I came across these two hex signs (Pennsylvania Dutch folk art). I didn’t actually know the term “hex signs” at the time, but I snapped them up with the intention of reselling them. But then I had a thought…What if I upcycled these into barn-inspired outdoor wall decor for our tool shed? Read more ›

Hanging Bird Feeder from Pot Lids for Junk Garden Decor

July 7, 2016 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 55 Comments

On a trip to Nashville, TN, I squeezed in a little time to check out the local thrift stores on my way into town. I happened upon a Goodwill in Lebanon, TN where I found a mismatched pair of pot lids. I loved the colors and the metal was in good shape, so I bought them both to build a hanging bird feeder for my backyard.

Wire Hanging Baskets for Herbs from Lampshade Frames

May 26, 2016 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 126 Comments

Lampshades are a pretty common item at thrift stores, in every size and shape you can imagine. So, I felt a compelling need to come up with an upcycling idea for them, starting with these small lamp shades that I found at Goodwill. I had this niggling feeling that lampshade frames could be repurposed into wire hanging baskets for a vertical herb planter…

Firefly Lantern with Upcycled Lighting from the Thrift Store

April 21, 2016 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 190 Comments

Upcycling projects with vintage light fixtures is a common theme on my blog and this particular project was inspired by the trendy shop, Anthropologie. After seeing their metalwork hurricanes online, I realized how much they resembled a brass light from Habitat ReStore. That’s when I decided I needed to repurpose one into a firefly lantern. And I suspected that it would be pretty easy to do!Read more ›

Unique Planters or Wall Planters from Dutch Wooden Shoes

April 3, 2016 · By Sadie Seasongoods · 77 Comments

I’ve had a quiet fascination with all things Dutch for most of my life. Between the tulips and the windmills and summering near Holland, Michigan, I suppose it couldn’t be avoided. I also had my own pair of Dutch wooden shoes, and while I no longer have them, I still wanted to upcycle some into wall planters for some front porch decor.Read more ›
